I posted on one subreddit, they start spamming that this is ai slob...

I get why some people called it AI slop. A basic gallery cleaner that lets you swipe through photos really isn't hard to build.

But I've been doing mobile development for 7 years, and what looks simple on the surface often hides a lot of work underneath. My app includes many small decisions, edge cases, and customization options that took much more than 10 minutes to build.

Yes, I used AI during development-but as a tool, not as a replacement for engineering. There's a big difference between generating a quick prototype and building a polished app that people can actually rely on.

So calling it "AI slop" feels a bit unfair.

If you're curious, here's the app:

What do you think, is this AI slop?
