If you believe Death by Claude, Trello, Notion, and other tools are “already dead.” When I read that and realized that many people are declaring SaaS dead for reasons like these, I thought: Why should I prefer an ugly but functional solution that Claude Code or Claude Design can build for me in minutes to a tool that’s been developed over years and optimized in terms of UI and UX?
Whether we’ll still be using tools like Trello or Notion in 10 years depends heavily on how good AI becomes in the area that’s currently still in its infancy: user interface and user experience. Sure, Claude can already write clean code and generate real software within a few days. But would anyone actually want to use it? Frello is the best example: I’ve invested most of my time in precisely the areas where AI is practically useless. User interface and security.
Colors, typography, and the combination of both are the least of it, and simultaneously the first area where AI is naturally very weak. The heart of Frello, the task workflows, team communication, the detailed view of a task, AI could never have mastered. Never. Perhaps that will change someday, but currently: no chance. In this respect, Claude is like a friend or colleague whose opinion you ask, but on whose basis you would never make a fundamental decision.
There are certainly plenty of examples when it comes to security. Claude almost replaced my entire policy at Supabase once, making sensitive data available to all users — data that is normally restricted to certain groups. But that’s another story.
You surely understand the point I’m making. Will AI ever be able to write software that looks or functions really well? I’m not so sure. But we should probably ask ourselves: Do we want innovation in the future, or mass-produced products that all feel and function the same? Wouldn’t stagnation be something that just doesn’t suit us humans at all?
Hmmm.
