Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Rise of Micro Apps: With the help of large language models like ChatGPT and Claude, individuals can create functional micro apps, such as Rebecca Yu's ‘Where2Eat’ in just seven days, indicating a significant reduction in barriers to software development and a rapid growth in personalized applications.
- Mobile App Challenges: Initially focused on web applications, the development of mobile micro apps faces platform restrictions, with developers using TestFlight and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) to overcome obstacles, highlighting the urgent market demand for flexible development tools.
- Economic Impact Forecast: Christina Melas-Kyriazi from Bain Capital Ventures predicts that the rise of micro apps will bridge the gap between traditional software and personalized needs, potentially leading users to cancel generic SaaS subscriptions in favor of building their own tailored versions, thereby pressuring traditional software markets.
- Quality and Security Challenges: While micro app development has become easier, novice developers may encounter quality and security issues, as apps could contain bugs and insecure code, necessitating a certain level of logical thinking and effective prompt engineering skills to ensure app reliability.
