Did We Just Enter The Golden Era Of Software?

You make an interesting application with the help of AI, it is based on a stripped down browser electron.js or otherwise.

Your user downloads it for free, if they like it, and want full version, they click buy full version, a browser window takes them to stripe.

By the time they return to the your application, it already knows it needs to run in full mode.

Their receipt has the serial number they need, if they ever re-install from scratch.

The serial number does not require a server to re-activate the app, it uses public key cryptography no worries.

Sharing a serial is not a good idea, because it also unlocks some one-time-download goodies.

It is never a good idea to mess with serial numbers, the next program update can blacklist it – please no worries.

AI does updates, and bug fixes, customer support, and even your paperwork.

Here is an application idea, the chrome web browser, has been crippled to be unable to block network communication live.

It can do it after you catch the request, but not before the request is made.

So you built a companion desktop application, that works like a firewall, and use adblock, uBlock, and PiHole databases.

You create a beautiful dashboard, and even offer advanced protection, like decryption of communications and content rewriting.

You offer AI inspection of websites, local if the computer is modern.

And make the firewall wise, not just smart.

On top of that, your AI can convert websites to RSS feeds, so that all you see is what you want to see, it can filter and even rewrite.

It can track updates, build a news feed, that actually is honest, and all of this, on your own computer, no cloud, no lies.

$40 dollar one time purchase, some people will be offended that it is not $400.

What they are paying for, is not a well written AI program, not just the feature anybody can prompt for.

But your patience, and personal interest, in whatever the application represents.

AI is the programmer, but that is not as precious, as you the composer, that adds extras that make sense to humans.

For example in my visual programming language, think boxes and wires.

You can click on a box to show the code it generates. and you can click on the code to scroll to the box.

You can click on labels to see the matching code attributes, and create your own nodes, commands, attributes, library and plugins.

AI can’t think like this, it takes your vision and soul, what the customer pays for is the human with a vision.

When things get out of control it takes a couple of days, for a leading company to set you in Delaware for $500.

Which when things do get out of control, is actually pretty fair.

You have a million application ideas, the block you are experiencing, is lack of comfort.

That is because the first thing you should program, is your own platform, delicate, powerful, inspired.

You can start with something you like XML based react, or from scratch by asking AI how to build a custom platform for electron apps.

I selected visual programming as my platform, as I think all people will appreciate reprogramming my apps to make them theirs.

And I think the first thing you will start noticing, is the artistic design part of applications, and many are beautiful.

And then, it is all down hill, AI asks, you answer, you have a feature idea relative to what you have created, you ask AI.

And that is exactly why I ask, did we just enter the golden era of amazing desktop software?

This is not just a question, it is a call, and you, the generation growing up in all this, is the answer.
