Every app I love is getting an AI makeover. @raycast is the one that hurts. V1 was nearly perfect. Lightning fast, intuitive, polished, great DX, and one of the best onboarding experiences I've seen. V2 lags. A lot of community extensions broke because migrating from V1 was close to impossible. And with Chinese as my default input, Auto-switch Input Source stutters every time I open it. Adding AI makes sense in 2026. Adding AI for the sake of AI doesn't. If AI makes the app genuinely better, great. If it doesn't, it just makes it heavier. The catch: skip AI and people won't pay. So every founder is stuck on the same trade-off. The small, beautiful apps that get this balance right, and still get people to pay, are how small AI startups break through. @thomaspaulmann @peduarte
