I built my first native iOS app this weekend. The client? My wife. The budget? $0 😅 She's a home pastry chef and needed a kitchen timer. Simple brief. Zero negotiation room. Spent most of the weekend designing it by hand in Figma - Dieter Rams vibes, minimalist with a touch of skeuomorphic texture that just feels right on a physical device. Then handed it off to Claude Code to implement in Xcode. Accuracy? Kind of wild. 99% pixel-perfect from my Figma file. A lot of prompting, but it delivered. App's live on TestFlight. Client tested it. Client approved it. Client is still not paying. Next up: multi-step timers - which was actually the feature she asked for in the first place.

Building a Dieter Rams-inspired kitchen timer for your wife over a weekend is the most wholesome dev story. Love this
