Over the years I've designed many mobile apps for clients.
This one is different. It's mine.
- Two weekends.
- Figma for the design (it's hand-made)
- Claude for the code, App Store research and strategy and everything related to the app submission.
- 1 rejection from Apple, sorted out in a few minutes this morning, resubmitted for review and we're now live.
It's nothing world changing - just a kitchen timer. But it's on the App Store and I built it as a designer with zero coding skills. Gotta wrap up a case study for this soon.
P.S. Feels a bit odd to have "Developer" label above my name 🤣
great job👌
Congrats Ivo!
Cool stuff Ivo, congrats on the lunch 😃 . You probably got this request before haha, do you mind sharing more behind the scenes of this project? For example, did you start first in Claude then doing visual refinements in Figma or the other way around?
Thanks 🫡
Thanks! I start every project in Claude for research, brainstorm, refine ideas, etc. After that I move to figma for the initial design and once I'm happy with it I'm bringing it Claude Code for the final implementation.
That's the short version, but I'm gonna create a detailed case study for this one ;)
Cool, thanks for sharing these 😃 .
Sounds interesting, Could you break down what could have caused the Apple, Rejection?
Claude Code has used some technique for the timer alert, that's only allowed in audio apps for playing sound in background
Makes Sense 💯

Most sneaker apps make you work to find what you want. This one puts the shoe on screen and gets out of the way.

gave framer agent a shot today
typed "build a luxury website" & in about 2 mins it put together this homepage section for a fashion house.
deep charcoal background, ivory editorial type. it even broke the collection into three named chapters with individual cards.
the agent made its own decisions at each step, chose the color story, picked the imagery direction, decided on section depth. i just watched.
not saying it replaces the craft but the speed-to-vibe ratio is genuinely surprising.
responsive across desktop, tablet & mobile too (had to fix a few things)
