LocalTV+ now has apps for Android and AndroidTV. We are close to feature parity with iOS. We hope to release it to a wider beta after the internal beta testers have used it for a little bit longer and ironed out the most glaring issues. Three days ago there was no Android app. I am not an Android developer and we also have not brought onboard any Android developers. So what happened? We used AI. In particular we are using Cursor. We started with screenshots from the iOS app. That is how the UI in the video from the other day was generated. Over the last couple of days I have given cursor further prompts on what the UI should look like and what the buttons should do. After about 4 hours total of prompts and code review, we had a functional Android application. The TV app was another cursor prompt that said ‘based on the android application generate an android tv application’. If you are wondering what can be produced when you effectively pair program an AI agent with a human developer, it’s this. This was likely weeks of work condensed into a few hours.
