AI Analysis
●MidBold BetShip It
Revives Usenet for modern Apple devices, but audience is vanishingly small.
Strengths
- •Multi-platform native support (iOS/macOS/visionOS) shows serious platform coverage
- •95% agentic AI build demonstrates feasible LLM-assisted app development pipeline
Weaknesses
- •Usenet communities are dying; niche within a niche with uncertain retention
- •Still in TestFlight with unclear App Store timeline and feature completeness unclear
Category
Target Audience
Usenet enthusiasts, retro protocol users, indie developers

Post Description
I still read/post in small communities over NNTP and always wanted usenet client that is modern and easy to use on macOS/iOS, so here it is.
95% agentic (not vibed) coded, just because I can and wanted to see if I'm able to drive AIs to build something that is usable :)
Coming soonish to AppStore, ofc.

CrossX – iOS/macOS App to Convert web/X articles to ePub for e-reader
Sends cleaned EPUBs straight to an Xteink over its Wi‑Fi hotspot using on‑device parsing, a Safari share extension, and automatic mDNS detection for stock and CrossPoint firmware. Nice local-first stance — no cloud or accounts — and it even bundles a file manager and activity history. Parsing images and batch conversion are called out as next steps; those would make this useful beyond its already-specific audience.

Create a clean tree graph of your projects with my App on iOS
The app turns projects into draggable node graphs with color tagging, visible dependency links, and progress indicators — exactly the kind of direct-manipulation UI people who think visually will enjoy. The developer highlights a local-first stance (no data collected) and the screenshots show fast node creation and on-canvas editing, but the idea is familiar territory (mind-mappers and visual planners already cover this space) so it needs a unique workflow or integrations to stand out.
