The Platform That Lets Users Discover and Remix Apps Made by Other Users

One of the defining features of the internet's most generative platforms is that users create for each other, not just for themselves. YouTube is not just a place to watch videos, it is a place where creators build audiences and audiences inspire more creators. GitHub is not just a place to store code, it is a place where one project becomes the starting point for thousands of others.

What these platforms share is a discovery and remix dynamic: you can find what others have made, build on it, and share what you built in turn. The value compounds because each contribution becomes a potential input to the next.

This dynamic has existed for developers on GitHub. It has not existed for the people who build and share apps. Until Wabi.

Wabi, the first personal software platform, is the platform where everyday users discover apps made by other users, remix them into something new, and publish their versions for the community to discover and build on in turn.

Key Takeaways

Wabi has a discovery feed where users can browse apps by category and find starting points for their own builds
Every app is remixable by default, no permission required, no coding needed to adapt it
Apps you create are published to the discovery feed and visible to the whole Wabi community
Remixed apps show their lineage, like a GitHub fork shows its parent repository
The community of apps compounds over time as each version becomes a starting point for the next

Why Discovery and Remixing Have Not Existed Together Before

Most platforms that let users create and share things support discovery, a feed, a gallery, a marketplace. But discovery without remixability is just browsing. You find what others made, use it or do not, and move on. Nothing you discover becomes an input to something new.

Platforms that support remixability, GitHub, Figma's community, CodePen, tend to require technical knowledge to participate meaningfully. The barrier to contribution keeps the community smaller and more homogeneous than it could be.

Wabi is the first platform where discovery and remixing combine without a technical barrier. You browse the discovery feed, find an app that is close to something you want, describe the changes that would make it yours, and publish your version. The whole cycle requires nothing except knowing what you want.

How Discovery Works on Wabi

The Wabi discovery feed is organized by category: Tracking, Health, Fitness, Lifestyle, Learning, Games, Tools, and more. You can browse by category or search for specific types of apps. Each app in the feed shows what it does and who built it.

When you find an app that interests you, you can use it directly, no account required for many apps. If you want to adapt it, you remix it: the app's structure becomes your starting point, and you describe the changes you want. Wabi updates the app according to your description, and your version is published as its own entry in the discovery feed.

Other users find your version, use it, remix it further. The community's library of tools grows not just in quantity but in diversity, each remix brings a different perspective on what the app could be.

Try the discover-and-remix cycle right now:

Browse the Wabi discovery feed for a habit tracker. Find one that is close to what you want. Then remix it with:

"Add a weekly reflection prompt. Every Sunday, ask me what habit felt hardest this week and what I want to focus on next week. Show my reflection history alongside my streak calendar."

Apps Built Around Discovery and Remixing on Wabi

These three apps from the Wabi community are explicitly built around the discovery and remix dynamic, tools for exploring what the platform contains and building on it:

Wabi App Explorer, A community directory for discovering and sharing Wabi mini-apps, similar to Product Hunt. Browse apps by category, sort by trending or top-voted, upvote favorites, submit new ones, and read community feedback. A meta-tool for navigating the ecosystem. Try it now →

Prompt-Based App Builder, Create apps from prompts, share them, and remix others' creations. Browse apps that others have generated, take one as a starting point, and build your own version. The tool that makes the remix cycle explicit and easy to start. Try it now →

App Whiteboard, Visualize app ideas on a whiteboard with AI expanding them into detailed concepts. Type a topic, get sticky notes with app ideas, tap any note to open it as a full concept, and build from there. A brainstorming tool that bridges ideation and creation. Try it now →

What Compounding Software Looks Like in Practice

The compounding dynamic of the Wabi community works like this: one person builds a flashcard app for learning Japanese vocabulary. Someone else remixes it for Spanish, adding a streak mechanic. A third person remixes that version for medical terminology, adding spaced repetition logic. A fourth person remixes the medical version for a specific specialty exam, with curated term sets.

Each version is useful. Each version is a starting point for the next. The community's library of flashcard apps, and habit trackers, and recipe tools, and challenge apps, grows through contribution, not just through individual creation.

This is what GitHub did for code. Wabi is doing it for apps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to ask permission to remix an app I find in the discovery feed? No. Every app on Wabi is remixable by default.

Does my remixed app show up separately in the discovery feed? Yes. Your version is published as its own app, discoverable by the whole community.

Can I see which apps were remixed from which originals? Yes. Wabi tracks the lineage of remixed apps, similar to how GitHub shows fork relationships.

Do I need technical knowledge to remix? No. You describe the changes in plain language and Wabi updates the app.

Can I build from a blank prompt instead of remixing? Yes. You can start from a blank description or from an existing app. Many people use both approaches.

Conclusion

The most generative platforms on the internet are the ones where discovery and contribution reinforce each other. Wabi is building this for apps, a community where every published app is a potential starting point for the next one, and where participating requires nothing more than describing what you want to build.
