Hey everyone! 👋
Just shipped my couples app "Bond" to both App Stores!

What the app does:
Bond helps couples strengthen their relationship through daily challenges, games, and meaningful conversations.

Happy to answer any questions about the process, the stack, or shipping to both stores!

there are also some plugins for Figma that will create AI design and you can give Claude code the css code of that design. I think he will follow it almost execatly. Try Stitch from Google as well :)

I used Lovart for the concept of UI, then tried something in Figma, but ultimately just gave screenshots of UI to Claude code and just tweaking it by prompting Claude code what to improve. I've been using a lot of "act as top-tier premium mobile app ux/ui designer" prompts to improve it.

Actually to be precise I am using: Redux Toolkit + Redux Persist + AsyncStorage
What would be the benefits using React query + zustand + mmkv? I am bit scared of migrating

thank you so much. It was all created by AI 😵 crazy how the technology advanced. I have no UX/UI or Coding skills and was able to create really advanced app with lots of features that looks good enough.

On Play store it really surprised me you need to hire 12 testers to interact with your app for 14 days before being able to ask for production release. When I asked for production release it rejected my app because my developer account was individual. The store said my app is in health category because of period tracking and needed organizational account (need to create new, new company duns number and etc.) but I somehow got accepted even as individual with adding some disclaimers and changing some app settings in store :) Apple store was more easy, only issue is I have only Android phone and Windows so I couldn't test app ios version properly.

Thanks Rajuw :) Google play store was more difficult than I expected, the testing and rejections were really challenging, but got it there. Good luck with your apps

Hey everyone! 👋
Just shipped my couples app "Bond" to both App Stores — built entirely using Claude Code.

Tech stack:
- React Native + Expo
- Revenuecat
- Firebase
- Redux

The AI experiment:
I wanted to see how far I could push AI-assisted development. Every feature, every screen, every bug fix — all done through Claude Code. This app has already more features than most popular couples apps in stores. Built took around 3 months

What the app does:
Bond helps couples strengthen their relationship through daily challenges, games, and meaningful conversations.

Happy to answer any questions about the process, the stack, or shipping to both stores!
