2026 the year of micro apps
Probably. AI is very good at small scope, low risk papercut type issues.
For example, I used AI to create an activity tracker web page as editing the provided PDF was hard and needed saving/finding each time (3 times a day) I needed to fill it in for my health care specialist.
I’m calling it now: if 2025 was the year of “vibe coding,” 2026 is going to be the year of “micro apps.” It’s the year a meaningful number of people begin to solve their own problems by building custom software tailored specifically to their needs. These apps might not be ready for the mass market, but that’s okay because they’ll be perfect for the individual who created them.
