I'm an experienced project manager and have been teaching myself to code over the past few years. In January I finally took the leap to make something I could distribute to others, with the goal of seeing what AI can do for a regular person. I really want to know what to look out for in dev projects, so treated Claude like my own little staff of interns. So from start to finish, I used Claude to research the concept, branding, caching strategies, potential features, store policies, trademarks, all of it. Took about 3 months to get to v4, which has 200+ users across iOS and Android with zero advertising and nothing really beyond just a few posts to get beta testers. Initially I wanted everything to be free, but a couple of almost expensive mistakes ended up proving I have to charge for some usage, because Google API access isn't as cheap as I thought.
I wanted to just share the case studies for anyone who might be interested and would love to talk about the process and get any feedback anyone else in the community might have.
