While this is def neat, it shows signs of a classical computer scientist fallacy: "There's a recurring problem I occasionally run into, and each time it takes me about 3 minutes to solve it. No more! Instead, I'm going to spend a few weeks programming an app that solves the problem for me!"



The thing is though that it takes 1 person a few weeks and then could save many more people time.

Also if you are already familiar with Android this app should take hours not weeks.


it's too bad they didn't release it so a few hundred or thousand people benefit from it and save a few minutes each!


Ah, the internet! The place where people go to paraphrase what others have already posted, just with passive aggressive sarcasm. Thanks for that!


Nonsense. We have spent our time on less justifiable things. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43265431



This assumes that the app doesn’t help anyone else though.
