Introducing . A video editor I built from scratch using Claude AI. This took 3 months and over 50k lines of code. I totally skipped design and went straight to code. Currently in early access. You can test out the AI tools with a free account.

I made a design tool. 95% of it was coded by Claude AI. You can design, animate SVG patterns and export to vectors, png, video or GIF. Use presets, save designs and share urls. Works great on mobile and web. 10k lines of code. The future is insanely fun.

I made a plugin that turns figma designs to code using Claude AI. Works with HTML, CSS, Tailwind, SwiftUI, Flutter, etc. This is production level code and you can enter custom prompts like "make it functional" or "add hover states". Oh and it's free. You can use your api keys.

My 8yo son built a Three.js site with zero coding experience. He used Claude AI and let Cursor apply all the code for him. He actually made several projects including 2 platformer games, a drawing app, an animation app and an AI chat app. ~2 hours spent on each. I only helped him

Last year, I didn’t know if we’d make it. I was wrong. - Hired 8 early designers and devs.- 50% designers.- 14 people.- 100% self-funded. We made 1M CAD in revenue. We don’t fight about code or design, we only execute and learn. We focus on making our customers happy.

The best way to teach someone is to give them the necessary tools, a real project and a deadline. Without a real project, the lessons won’t stick, and without a deadline, they won’t feel the urgency to learn.

You can build iOS apps with Cursor and Claude AI even as a beginner. You got SwiftUI for UI/animations, GitHub Copilot for code completion, ChatGPT for reading files in Xcode and Cursor Composer for writing code for you. I'm teaching all that in my new course
