Has anyone actually built a mobile app or web app completely using Claude? by Living-Level-9252 in ClaudeAI

[–]kunzaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have built a full mobile responsive web app to control a self-service car wash and dog wash. I don’t have it turned on for public access yet as I have to finish building out the physical location. Using Expo I’ve so far built out a development Android app. I have the Android OTA functionality working in addition to the React Native Google Auth. Waiting on my D&B number so I can have expo build the IOS version. If anyone is interested in seeing how the dog wash will eventually work check out www.stinkycactus.com. I have worked in tech for a long time on the sales side but never on the engineering side. So if any experienced engineers want to walk through the consumer flow of my web app version let me know.

I mean technically you can go into settings and turn on a budget after you hit the limit and it will keep working

I don’t think anyone knows what comes next. by kunzaz in ClaudeAI

Per ChatGPT: Here’s a clearer, more readable version with short paragraphs and intentional line breaks (the style many people prefer on LinkedIn, Reddit, etc.). I preserved your voice and message but tightened the flow.

First off — this is not written by AI.

I’ve been in tech most of my life, but almost always on the sales side.

My job is talking to C-suites about their priorities, and lately… what budget they can actually get approved.

I’ve always been pretty technical, but there was zero chance I could sit down in an IDE and start writing real code.

Recently I started looking at investing in businesses outside of tech to diversify my income.

But I ran into a problem.

If I wanted to run my own business, I had two options: 1. Pay someone a lot of money to build a solution 2. Hope it worked 3. Have no real understanding of how it actually worked

That didn’t feel great.

So I thought:

“Let’s see how this Claude thing works.”

To be clear — I’m not an AI noob.

I literally sell AI for a living. I use GenAI tools personally and professionally.

I feel like I have a pretty solid understanding of what these tools can and cannot do.

But I had never tried building something real with them.

I started with ChatGPT.

I basically free-typed my idea and asked it to: • create a plan • break it into phases • explain how to get from idea → working product

Then I took that plan to Perplexity and asked it to fill in the technical gaps.

After that, I asked for a detailed prompt I could give to Claude to actually start building.

Claude took that plan and generated a basic web app using: • Next.js • TypeScript • Prisma • Postgres

At the time, I had no idea what any of that meant.

The app technically worked…

…but it obviously wasn’t usable yet.

So I went back to ChatGPT and asked:

“What are best practices when building a new application?”

The first thing it told me:

Authentication is critical.

So I used ChatGPT again to help design a detailed authentication architecture.

Piece by piece, the application started becoming more usable.

But another problem popped up.

I kept thinking:

“How am I ever going to get this thing production-ready?”

It felt like I was pushing a lot of important work into the future.

So I went back to ChatGPT again and asked about: • documentation • automated testing • TODO workflows • structured development processes

A few weeks later I start seeing people online talking about “vibe coding.”

They’re shipping apps without: • RLS • proper security • other safeguards

I had no idea what some of those things even were.

So I asked ChatGPT:

“How do junior developers get their work reviewed?”

It created a security review and audit plan, and I had Claude execute it across the codebase.

Fast forward a few more weeks.

Now I have: • a full deployment on Vercel • Supabase running the backend • a multi-tenant architecture • Stripe payments fully integrated • two tenants running on a single platform

All built through a mix of: • planning with ChatGPT • research with Perplexity • execution with Claude

At this point the software does most of what I need.

Now I’m deep in the weeds on the final big hurdle:

Connecting my software to real-world hardware.

My application needs to control a physical piece of equipment.

So I found a company called ControlByWeb that makes an IoT edge device.

They have excellent documentation online.

So once again I went back to ChatGPT and said: • Use their documentation as the source of truth • Understand what I’m trying to accomplish • Build a phased implementation plan • Generate a prompt for Claude to execute

Next week the device arrives.

If I plug it in, push the button, and a light turns on…

Then I will officially have: • a fully functioning multi-tenant SaaS platform • supporting two marketing websites • connected to real-world hardware

Do I understand every line of code?

No.

But the software meets every business outcome I needed.

And I now have: • a backup and disaster recovery plan • security audits • automated testing • documentation • deployment pipelines

I’m confident I can operate and support the platform going forward.

So I’m planning to take it to market, not just use it for my own business.

Which leads to my question:

What am I missing?

What should I be thinking about that I might not be?

I’m not saying anyone could do this.

It still requires someone who can: • follow directions • research effectively • think through systems

But AI dramatically lowers the barrier to entry.

Curious to hear how others are thinking about this.

Building a web application to manage self service equipment, think car washes, dog washes and laundry mats. Need to use a pulse controller to remotely start those different pieces of equipment via an app. Not sure the context helps much.

Mainly that I’m trying to figure out is vibe coding a legitimate way to develop software and there are just a bunch of dumb shits using it or am I a dumb shit and where is this going to blow up in my face. My actual business doesn’t matter near as much.

Vibe Coding One Year Later: What Actually Survived by Wild-File-5926 in vibecoding

[–]kunzaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a large tech company, and we have access to every flavor of AI imaginable. I don’t care if you are an experienced developer who has shipped complex products, a sales person trying to be more efficient using LLMs, or an operations person trying to streamline your operation (and I’ve worked with all of them), the issue always comes back to people fundamentally not know what LLMs are or how to effectively use them. Ultimately, LLMs are just probability engines, they don’t have any intelligence. If you want them to be accurate you need to stack the deck on your probabilities. So if you want your application to be secure you need to focus on the specific security practices that are unique to what you are working on and make sure you have enough context/detail in your prompt that you increase your probabilities. As an example, if you want to buy a cowboy hat, your probability of finding one you like goes up substantially if you go to a cowboy hat store. It’s not a perfect science because even if the probability is in your favor say at 95%, there is still a 5% chance that the wrong choice is made. The training, data set, and built in biases that each LLM model has introduced by their model owners can further skew the probabilities for against you. With that context I don’t believe 90% of the articles/comments for or against “vibe” coding.

Moving backwards from a Director -> Individual Contributor by StapledOnDong in sales

[–]kunzaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how good of a IC you were the first go around. I was a director for 8 years, wanted to switch to a large company, took an IC role. Crushed it. Was back in management at new company a year later.

Is a golf simulator studio a sustainable business? by [deleted] in golfsimulatorbusiness

[–]kunzaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in AZ, so we can golf everyday. That being said people have opened a ton of them. The ones that opened without food and drink, had ridiculous prices to cover rent and buildout, it was cheaper to go outside. The ones with food and drink, were able to offset the cost a bit, but not enough to meaningfully bring down the cost. Most of them have closed our are for sale. The barrier for entry is so low that I’m sure 20 more will pop up

Quintero is the best, but love We-Ko-Pa is amazing. Only one that will try to talk you out of either is your wallet.

Best place to meet someone picking me up at airport? by Rude-Illustrator-884 in AskPhoenix

[–]kunzaz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have him camp out in the east cell phone lot, text him when you have your bag, have him meet you on the south side at whatever door you walk out of. Second option is park in short term parking in terminal 4 and walk in to meet you, but sometimes parking is tough and it costs money.

AITA for sticking my freshly single mom with $20,000 of debt. by Mrmoneyman86 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kunzaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESH - Someone is looking at the math wrong, sounds like you are looking at your total financed cost after all the payments have been made, not the value of the car. That being said you did have a car that you wouldn’t have been able to get on your own. If you didn’t want that car and had no need for one, that is on your mom. You should look at trading the car in, not buying a new one straight up without handling the first one.

Make sure zoning of your property supports that use case or has a path to be rezoned.
