I open-sourced an AI app platform where contributors’ features actually ship to the App Store

Overview

I’ve been working on a small side project and decided to open it up.

It’s an open‑source (Apache‑2.0) mobile app platform for AI features. Instead of everyone building standalone demos, the idea is that contributors focus on features, and I handle the boring stuff like the backend, builds, and App Store/Google Play reviews.

If you want to build an AI feature (image, voice, text, whatever) and test the market, you can:

  1. Fork the repository.
  2. Build the feature.
  3. Submit a pull request.

If the contribution makes sense, I will include it in the next monthly release and ship it to real users.

The platform already runs a live iOS/Android app (just as an example), so this isn’t theoretical.
