Developer Redirects His AI-Built App to Original Creator After Discovering It Copied a Bug

Mea Culpa – Dark Hours

Terry Godier launched a web utility called Dark Hours, only to discover it was strikingly similar to an existing open-source project, DarkHours.app, even reproducing a bug the original developer had fixed. After a public exchange on Bluesky, Godier redirected his domain to the original creator, abandoned plans for an iOS app, and apologized for his irresponsible use of AI in building the project without checking for similarities.
