how I design/create apps these days: 1. Figma: start with one screen - arguably most important screen, visual summary of the app - I reference screenshots. I don't find AI design tools good enough yet 2. Claude code/Xcode: feed that one screen into an app - install it on my phone - doesn't need any other screens. just that one screen - no backend. just simulate what it feels like 3. Beta test: only me - see if I'm sold within a week or two - do I keep using it? do more things ahead flow into me naturally? 4. Polish/Validate: Calude code/Xcode + Gemini for assets + Pinterest - as I polish, run experiments talking about the app on tiktok/ig depending on what the app is about 5. Prep to go live: Amplitude + Revenue Cat - minimum measure to be able to observe how people use it - monetization in place then I shoot. a lot for 1 person, but 10x simpler than how it was 10 years ago
