Indie hacker Kyle Gawley observes that five years ago the biggest question in indie hacking was "which app do people want to use?" — while in 2026 it's "should you be building an app at all?" The implication: AI agents may be undermining the traditional app form factor itself, and indie devs must rethink what they ship.
