My main argument is that if you want my attention in a world where an AI agent can build me a native iPhone app in 30min, you need to do better than showing me

My main argument is that if you want my attention in a world where an AI agent can build me a native iPhone app in 30min, you need to do better than showing me a to do list app in the hero of your landing page. Your comparison doesn't hold at all. This is not a tutorial page called "first steps", it is the first showcase of what is possible with it. Anyway, it's fine for us to just disagree here. You just sound like someone that likes to argue for the sake of arguing, and just like to do apps, I don't have time for that.

That's a lie. It got your attention enough to post here, talk about it, and as a result, help push it up the front page. It's held your attention for so long, advertisers pay good money for that sort of attention. And you are just giving it out for free. All because it used a Todo app.

Do I just like to do apps? No. I've built serious business application with a graphically complex client area and a bunch of supporting chrome around it and dialogue boxes on top, using Flet. It's nothing like a to do app. But if the first example I saw on the Flet website was that complex I would never have figured out if it was useful! (Do I just like arguing? Not really but I really did have no idea what your first comment was about, and your follow up was too odd not to reply to, so I got hooked.)

Flet (and that to-do example) has been out for years before this AI rage. And even of it came out early this year I and many other would still very much appreciate that basic example. If you want something more complex, vibe it.
