Has anyone noticed that we haven’t really heard of a new app in awhile? I feel like the last time I heard about an app on the news or on Reddit(in the past) in a long time. The last big one I heard of was the Threads app.
Where are the apps? I haven’t downloaded a new app since I got Boost for Lemmy.

Probably because the market is saturated. There can only be so many ways to make a todo app.
Most software made today is the same recycled ideas with a different coat of paint.
So, there are very few new apps that would generate enough value to a majority to be newsworthy
Yeah. It’s saturated, so it’s much harder to succeed now than it was 10 years ago. Gone are the days when large numbers of people were impulse-buying everything just because it was there and it was only $0.99.
I guess that’s why there’s not much middle ground between free/libre apps and heavily monetized subscriptions and microtransactions.
All the lemmy clients were my last app adventure. :)
I still download new stuff, but it’s usually one of
- game
- little FOSS project that’s replacing an existing app
- app that belongs to some service that I am using
