A 25-row table trapped inside a PDF.
One shortcut later, it’s clean Markdown in Obsidian, with the rows, columns, and labels intact.
Snapdown is now on Macapp Supply.

Today I launched Snapdown, a Mac app that turns anything on your screen into clean Markdown.
Unlike basic OCR, it keeps headings, lists, tables, formulas, and reading order.
One shortcut. Entirely local. Works offline.
10 captures free. $12 once.

AI isn't killing SaaS. It's killing the excuses SaaS was built on.
For 20 years, the moat was simple: building software was expensive, slow, and risky. SaaS absorbed all of that on your behalf.
That's gone. And most founders haven't felt it yet.
The dangerous part isn't the technology. It's the proximity.
Right now, 2-3 person teams are building focused vertical products for the exact customers you deprioritised in your pursuit of scale. They know those customers by name. They're in the group chat with them.
That relationship is the new moat.
The fix isn't adding AI features to your roadmap.
It's getting specific about who you actually serve, putting founder-level ownership around each segment, and building relationships that make leaving feel like a real loss.

Developers are not dead. Far from it.
They're at the core of agentic AI systems, directing them, augmenting them with human intuition, and owning the output in a way no AI can replicate.
The role didn't disappear. It levelled up.

Opus 4.5 was a game changer, when it released in Nov, I felt the change.. Opus 4.6 it feels more closely aligned with my thinking when solving a problem or implementing a feature.. if this is a taste of the future we are in for a treat!
Traditional e-commerce search is like playing a game of 'word match' - you either guess the exact product name or leave empty-handed. AI-powered search is like having a personal shopping assistant who gets your style. Whether you say 'comfy work shoes' or 'professional kicks that won't kill my feet' - it understands the vibe, not just the vocabulary. Welcome to the future of search. 🔍
Map the dependencies: AI agents need to understand endpoint connections. Which calls must occur in sequence? What are the hidden dependencies? Document the complete API graph.
Very interesting take and certainly thought-provoking. I think the future would perhaps look something like this:
AI agents will build the backend based on business needs (in real-time) and then actively monitor business changes to continue refining the business logic (in the backend).
This is more plausible than the AI agents are "the backend".
Business logic would need to be predictable 100% of the time; AI, as we have it today, is not!
That just happened! Github Copilot FREE 🤯
2025 is shaping up to be the year of builders.
What are you going to build? 🚀
Your SaaS product without AI is like a T-Rex with a keyboard—technically functional, historically interesting, and completely extinct 🦖⌨️☄️
