PROCESS  

This is my first time coding. From a napkin doodle to the first on-device demo in a single Sunday afternoon—what a time to be creating, tinkering, and making. Throughout the entire process, I was constantly amazed by the power and quality of these tools.





Napkin doodle: Pencil 




Refining mother prompt: Docs, GPT 4.0




Building React MVP: Claude Artifacts, Gemini




Translating to High-Fidelity Swift Mock: Xcode, Cursor, Claude Sonnet 




Delivering to App Store: Xcode, App Store Connect

REFLECTIONS  

These tools are most effective when you know exactly what you want. Taking a Swift course helped me quickly get the basics of the jargon and structure, making my prompting much more precise. A reminder to myself: always start with pen and paper—blinking cursor syndrome is very real with these tools.
