58.5% Zero-Click: The rise of AI agents and "App-less" interfaces
We are witnessing the end of the "Link Economy."
According to the 2024 Zero-Click Search Study, 58.5% of Google searches in the US now end without a single click.
Why? Because browsers and search engines are shifting from "Discovery" (showing you where to go) to "Execution" (doing it for you).
The "App-less" Interface Look at Google’s 'Disco' or generic AI agents. If you open 10 tabs for travel planning, the browser now ingests them and generates a disposable "Trip Planner" interface. The original websites just become invisible backend databases.
The Paradox The better and more logical your content is, the easier it is for AI to summarize it. High quality = Zero clicks.
As a founder or marketer, if you are relying on being a "destination," you are in trouble. We need to shift from selling "information" to selling "inevitability"—something the AI cannot generate.
I wrote a deeper dive on this structural shift and how to survive the "App-less" era. Full analysis here: https://tmssmag.substack.com/p/the-death-of-the-link-the-culprit

Ask HN: Why are Gemini CLI and Claude Code TUIs so terrible?
I figured I'd jump into this great age of GenAI coding with Gemini CLI and Claude Code.
I created a small project to test things out and started asking questions (plus set up agents files). And frankly, I'm less than underwhelmed. Bugs galore, some making both these tools unusable (which is shocking, I'm fairly sure Claude Code was the first one and it's not Open Source, so Gemini CLI must be an independent reimplementation - but somehow they both seem to share the same bugs).
For example when I ask Claude Code a question on Ubuntu 24.04, if the answer is longer than about a full screen, I can't scroll up to see the entire answer. When I scroll up to see the answer, the Claude Code scrolls up ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION, and I can't scroll down gradually. So I either see the first question and whatever fits in one screen-full of text or I see the bottom screen-full of text for the last question. No in-between. This makes Claude Code unusable since most answers are longer than a page.
Gemini CLI also suffers from silly scrolling bugs.
These are known issues, I've asked Gemini about both and it provided workarounds that mostly don't work.
I'm trying to use the CLI modes instead of TUI (claude -p "question here"...) but it's a lot more cumbersome. Plus I lose the immediate context for series of questions.
Is this the GenAI revolution? Am I holding it wrong? Is everyone vibe coding on Macs?
I'm fairly sure I have the latest versions for both CLIs and I swear I've seen better implemented TUIs from the 90s, before the 10x vibe coding revolution.
Now, don't get me wrong, they're both nice for exploring and definitely unlock lots of possibilities, but how can the tools themselves be so abysmal with so many billions invested into them?
I'd think both companies can afford top notch CLI/TUI tool developers - and DX is a sink-or-swim type of test for both tools.

Research – Supplementation App (is it tarpit?)
Hi! I am working on building a mobile app to support and enable adherence to taking supplements. Think of those water-reminder apps (or even period-trackers)
I tried to look up on some user insights and I was unable to. I thought this would be a great place to ask. So here are some questions...
1/ How do you keep track of your supplements? Some app? Manual? Excel sheets?
2/ What feature do you want to see in an app made for this? Give me your biggest pain point. And the largest challenge.
3/ What would you want to pay for this app? If you already use an app, what do you pay for it.
4/ Will you be ok for a longer conversation? In exchange, when the app comes to life, i can offer you a free tier. PS: The app is in my head right now. Havent had the chance to even start.
5/ Is this a tarpit idea?
6/ What wedge can I drive that cal.ai / noom etc havent so far?
