A new app in the making
- A tiny app to see how much of the grind work I could get done using something like Claude that came out of giving a talk about using Claude to my CocoaHeads group.
- I found some public APIs, and chose one. Official Joke API
- If it passes final review, I'll publish it. For now I wanted it to have a dedicated privacy policy page.
What did I have Claude do?
- Generate an app by giving the link to the actual published API
- Clean up and document the code.
- Make sure all the views had proper Previews
- Made sure all model code had proper tests.
What did I do?
- I spent most of my time refining a skill file so that the code generated or modified met my style and readability guidelines.
- Changed the view it generated slightly so it supported dynamic text, so that it has the minimum accessibility that I at least expect.
- Pushed it through TestFlight to my CocoaHeads group and a few other people and saw an appreciation for the truly bad jokes coming out. Especially the programming ones.
- Realized I hadn't done anything to this website in years. So had to update it.
