How it gets made
All of it was built with Claude Code around a day job and client work. I bring the problem and the taste; Claude does the typing.
- I describe it
In plain words, often half a sentence from my phone. No spec and no wireframes.
- Claude builds it
Claude Code writes the code, compiles it and installs it on my phone over USB.
- It proves it works
On the real device, with screenshots, logs or a real notification, before anything is called done.
- I live with it
Then I use it every day and push back, one complaint at a time.
