Cool! Did you just prompt -> copy -> paste or did you come up with some specific workflow?
In django i had it create a backend, set admin user, create requirements.txt and then do a whole frontend in vue as a test. It even can do screen testing and tested what happens if it puts a wrong login in.
Claude built me a simple react app AND rendered it in it's own UI - including using imports and stuff. I am looking forward to this type of real time app creation being added into our OSs, browsers, phones and glasses.
What do you see that being used for?
Surely, polished apps written for others are going to be best built in professional tools that live independently of whatever the OS might offer.
So I assume you're talking about quick little scratch apps for personal use? Like an AI-enriched version of Apple's Automator or Shortcuts, or of shell scripts, where you spend a while coahcing an AI to write the little one-off program you need instead of visually building a worrkflow or writing a simple script? Is that something you believe there's a high unmet need for?
This is an earnest question. I'm sincerely curious what you're envisioning and how it might supercede the rich variety of existing tools that seem to only see niche use today.

I used Claude AI project to attach requirement for the project. Then I just went with single conversation. I specified that I want to do it in small steps and then was just doing copy -> paste until I reached the limit. I think it was because I was doing one big convo instead attaching code to the project. So pretty simple flow, totally not scalable for bigger projects. I need to read and check Cursor AI which can al…
This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup that will inevitably enshittify isn’t compelling despite what the tech can do. We’re getting there with some of the smaller open source models, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m loo…

> and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable In many professions, $5000 for tools is almost nothing.
I wanted to develop a simple tool to compare maps. I thought about using this opportunity to try out Claude AI for coding a project from scratch. It worked surprisingly well! At least 95% of the code was generated by AI (I reached the limit so had to add final bits on my own).

Once a class was full, you could still get in if someone who was selected for the classes changed their mind, which (at an unpredictable time) would result in a seat becoming available in that class until another student noticed the availability and signed up.
So I wrote a simple PHP script that loaded the page every 60 seconds checking, and the script would send me a text message if any of the classes I wanted suddenly had an opening. I would then run to a computer and try to sign up.
These are the kind of bespoke, single-purpose things that I presume AI coding could help the average person with.
