I'm excited to announce that we're joining OpenAI’s Codex team! When we started out, Xcode had no AI. Building a "Cursor for Xcode" sounded crazy, but we managed to do it anyway. And, over time, we built the best coding agent for iOS & MacOS apps. I'm extremely proud of what we accomplished with Alex. Seeing people build software with our work was surreal. It is an honor to continue that work at a much bigger scale at OpenAI, along with the incredibly talented Codex team. Our mission is to hel

OSMAnd vs. Organic Maps

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-26 11:14:53

There's a new offline mapping program for smartphones, so I thought I'd see how it stacks up against the one I'm already using. For clarity: I'm using the F-Droid releases of both OsmAnd and Organic Maps. I believe that OsmAnd charges for map downloads if you get it from other places. Both programs work most readily with maps loaded onto the device in advance (which is why I feel I should choose—I don't want to have maps for both taking up space). Both of them run off OpenStreetMap data, adapt

Back in May, Builder.ai, once a high-flying startup touted as a path-clearing AI-powered app builder, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S., culminating a spectacular fall that has become a cautionary tale in today’s AI frenzy. The filing followed a flurry of activity that saw creditors seize its accounts, the revelation that it may have been using engineers in India instead of AI, and a probe into how Builder.ai’s founder spent money leading up to its collapse.
