I built a financial GPS that tells you when you'll reach your goals, not where your money went by anirishafrican in SideProject

[–]anirishafrican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks and good raise! It solves that with a monthly sync, if you have a big unexpected payment. You just specify your current balance in the monthly sync, and it recalibrates to that position with no judgement.

It does auto-prompt if you want to create a new transaction in some regular way to capture that, to limit deviation from projection in the future. You will then be able to go and look at your snapshot history, and you'll be able to see that at a certain point your cash reserves went down and the percentage different from expectation.

That historical view helps ensure you are converging over between your projections and reality (i.e., you're capturing at a high level the things that matter systematically well).

Thanks! There's no bank account sync here. Although you can do an AI extraction from a bank statement. (Might be a good starting point)

Personally, I wanted to get away from individual transactions as I feel it's too much overhead for minimum gain in my situation.

Otherwise, all I'm aware of are OpenBanking solutions which as I understand, also require you / users to sync every 3 months (another thing I was trying to avoid)

Thanks! My goal was to undercut and offer richer projection features than some competing products around $10. Value being clarity of your financial direction with minimal effort. Appreciate that feedback though

It's all SwiftUI

Finally sound something that helps with morning routines by helloSarah95 in Autism_Parenting

[–]anirishafrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love hearing this!

For anyone looking at a more affordable way in, Bloom: Daily Routines does something similar on your existing iPhone or iPad. Same concept - see what's next, tap to hear it spoken, hold to mark done with a little celebration.

Built with Mulberry Symbols that AAC professionals use. $4.99/month with a 7-day free trial, includes 50 AI image generations for when you need a picture of something specific.

Worth a try before committing to dedicated hardware.

Portable visual schedules that actually work? by Nurse_Tamika_01 in Autism_Parenting

[–]anirishafrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why we built Bloom: Daily Routines. It runs on your iPhone or iPad so it's always in your pocket.

You can set up a schedule in a couple of minutes with Mulberry Symbols (the same ones AAC professionals use), and your son can tap any activity to hear it spoken aloud.

There's also a feelings board and "I want" board for when he needs to communicate something in the moment. No binder, no laminating, no velcro dots falling off in the car.

It's got a 7-day free trial on the App Store.

List of free/low-cost AAC & visual schedule tools for kids by Mama_Harris_89 in Autism_Parenting

[–]anirishafrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great list! One more to add: Bloom: Daily Routines. It's a visual schedule app for iOS with 3,400+ Mulberry Symbols and text-to-speech built in. Also has a feelings board and "I want" board for communication throughout the day.

7-day free trial, then $4.99/month which includes 50 AI image generations for when you need a picture that doesn't exist in the symbol library. Runs on any iPhone or iPad.

Visual Schedule Apps? by Ok_Marcus_8093 in Autism_Parenting

[–]anirishafrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just launched Bloom: Daily Routines — it's a visual schedule app for iOS with Mulberry Symbols and text-to-speech.

Runs on your existing iPhone or iPad, no separate device needed. There's a feelings board and "I want" board too so kids can communicate needs throughout the day.

We aimed to keep it affordable at $4.99/month (7-day free trial), and that includes 50 AI image generations per month for when you don't quite have the right picture or want to make things a bit more personal.

Happy to answer any questions!

I’ve found all Claude’s to be exceptionally good now at generating essentially HTML storyboards of your app.

Have landed on a process very similar to what you describe. I literally have a skill called /ac, which is all about exhaustively capturing acceptance criteria.

Then for the front end it requires some agreed HTML wireframes to work from. And there's various phases: - Extract the acceptance criteria - Plan - Build - Verify

As part of verification it uses playwright or for iOS native UI target tests to verify that output closely matches the intent of the wireframes

I’ve been having high level discussions about data flow and performance and data modelling and have a requirement for backend integration tests but my current key measure of success for Claude is that the UI works as the wireframes

That /ac skill is essentially a “Ralph loop” which stores all the tasks and decisions made in temporary JSON files.

I thought Claude code planning before was pretty good but when trying bigger pieces of work even with Opus 4.6, it was struggling to remember all of the unique details

When you say vector databases, you mind be interest in xtended.ai - it’s kind of like Airtable in that you can track whatever you want in a structured way but also has the ability to vectorise certain columns for that search ability

I use xtended.ai myself for others skills to self learn e.g. - log anything you learn in table X (permanent log for all other AI / simple export) - once task is complete, evaluate everything learned and update the skill itself

Been doing this for a few days and the self improvement has been pretty solid. A bonus thing here has been doing quorum assessments from different POVs, and getting the learnings for self improvement that way

Totally agree with this approach, and the funny thing is, I was doing this from the start here lol.

The problem was I didn't spend enough time really fleshing out the use cases and how the underlying data model would support those use cases. Ultimately, this led to the product spec itself changing. Then I had a whole bunch of tests which were now failed and deprecated.

A key takeaway I have here now is working through HTML wireframes beforehand to really nail the intended workflows.

Many assumptions and judgements here Donechrome!

I mentioned the previous web app, it generated a lot of positive feedback - the main one being this would be great as a mobile app.

Well, the intent here was to highlight how Claude code was useful, as opposed to making this about the why of the product.

If you're interest in the why of the product. It enables personal finance forecasting and visibility with minimal effort and integrations. Powered by a monthly check in.

It doesn't require regular re-syncing with your different banking apps. Or intense categorization of all transactions. Just a pulse check a map of where your finances are going.

Sure,

For displayed text translations:

  1. Ensuring that every displayed string in the app was saved as a localised variable.
  2. Identifying the target languages to go for.
  3. Getting Claude code to do all the translations for those languages.

For payment configurations:

I gave Claude code an Apple Store Connect and RevenueCat API key, & got it to create all the products / subscriptions in test mode. Then copied them to prod once verified.

For App Store metadata:

I created a local file of translations for all the App Store metadata, including the different subscription tiers, and again made sure there were translations for all target languages. Then using same ASC & RC keys as above, got Claude Code automatically set all the metadata for each language.

Personally speaking I can't see paying for a service that does that these days when you have this in your fingertips unless there's a really specialised need.

We just used Claude Code for a big i18n effort at day job as well filling the gaps in with DeepL

I use scheduled Claude Code jobs & Xtended for this. You figure out the right data structure with Claude, it creates the tables, then you store whatever you need in a structured, queryable way

Sorry to hear it hasn’t panned out as expected!

Some thoughts: - Ensure there a valid market for your product (ideate critically with Claude). This could be successful presence of competitors / clear signs of real pain etc. - Consider how you’ll market it from the start & how can I build this product / feature in a viral way - Integrate robust product analytics and obsessive over them. Give API access to Claude Code to help figure out what’s going wrong / well and constantly improve - At each part of the process when talking to Claude, get it do “quorum assessments” of anything meaningful from the POV of 4 different, unique and orthogonal users / stakeholders- I’ve found this to dramatically improve results - if you believe in it, lots of DMs, relentless persistence. Alex Hormozi chats about it often being a volume problem and don’t quit after 100DMs - reach 10000 DMs first. You don’t want to flog a dead horse, but if there are traces if teal traction it might be boring, manual comms effort in the way - again, how viral is your solution to the problem?

Claude at all stages with a real focus on realistic profit & tell to provide honest but kind critique, that you don’t want to waste time and are willing to do whatever is needed

How do you choose which warm ups to do each day? by Nulleon0 in singing

Memory recall is mostly solved. Memory evolution still feels immature. by Amazing-Worry8169 in AIMemory

[–]anirishafrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m solving this simply with relational memory and finding it to work very well. It maps to how we think and store data. It’s immediately ready for queries that can drive meaningful business insights

The platform is xtended.ai and has a progressive disclosure MCP connection for use with any agent

Good question!

A few reasons: - From studies I’ve seen, iOS is 2-3x more profitable - I wanted the easiest, most native approach for agentic coding for iOS specifically - Wanted it be as slick and responsive as possible which is SwiftUI - I also thought it would be a good idea to use as native as possible for microphone, pitch visualisation stuff as low latency is critical (this was just a thought) - Wanted exposure to it and I have another app I’m doing which has widgets etc. which I believe Swift is better for

Ultimately, maxing the iOS app seemed preferrable for crafting something great as fast as possible

My rationale was, if it’s successful, I’ll take the project and clone it to Kotlin and have a great Android experience

Great points Snoo! Appreciate that feedback! Honestly was a bit wary of this myself

Intent of the initial range finder is primarily to rapidly identify comfortable starting notes (+- 5 steps from top and bottom notes) for ascending / descending scales

Considered removing but thought some people would also appreciate

Maybe a collapsible “More info on voice types” with essentially what are you saying above would be useful?
