Probably because the market is saturated. There can only be so many ways to make a todo app.

Most software made today is the same recycled ideas with a different coat of paint.

So, there are very few new apps that would generate enough value to a majority to be newsworthy

All the lemmy clients were my last app adventure. :)

Almost everything has been done already. Most new app ideas are just gimmicks thrown onto existing concepts.

I still download new stuff, but it’s usually one of

• game
• little FOSS project that’s replacing an existing app
• app that belongs to some service that I am using

Have you tried Candy Crush? Flappy Bird? Those are the main ones.

I heard there was a new app coming, but I believe it’s still under review

Because like recycled movies in Hollywood, there is a circlejerk of app making void of creative energy.

I suspect they’ve started making device-agnostic apps using JavaScript and React Native. I’m pursuing Purescript solely because I was not willing to commit to iOS nor Android’s completely different ways of doing things…and I love Haskell style syntax.

I may be an outlier but that’s personally why I’ve avoided specifically targeting Android as a developer.

TrashFuture has hit on a few new attempts at Killer App firms, but it’s all Mindfulness this and AI that.

I think the last app I downloaded was an AI art app, which I used maybe twice.

Apple killed any possibility of innovation by lobotomizing the masses
