We have seen a gradual decline in activity possibly caused by the rise of AI as an alternative source of information/answers, and/or the rise of vibe coding sites that generate apps for users.
@J_Curve If you have no apps on Google Play (i.e. no earnings from apps) then depending only on AI2 projects won't help for long. There is some websites where you can develop android apps for clients, you can get clients there. You can also start a youtube channel where you can teach app development from scratch. AND Yes there are very few clients for AI2 projects.
So, is the takeaway that MIT is still useful for creating your own apps, but freelance projects are increasingly shifting toward AI/vibe-coding platforms?
The decay starts in april.
I wonder if the same decay was in april 2025 cause the chart does not go back this far.
Maybe the decay is caused by summer/weather holliday.
Oops I just realise.
These charts are about the forum not about app inventor itself.
I for one have been checking the forum daily for a few years. I just
never log in as that is not needed to read the posts.
Just lately I have been loggin in to participate on the google verification posts.
So daily users, posts etc doesn’t say a thing about app inventors use.
It even does not say a thing on how many users are reading the forum.
