I am very excited about the mobile app that I'm building.
It's going to be my first iOS mobile app.
And this is what it does. Have a look below. I made this video with Claude Code.
What does it look like?

Half my best build ideas show up in weird places and moments, not at the desk.
Today's came on the walk to school. Wrote it in my phone notes with one hand.
The margins aren't the leftover time. Sometimes they're the good time.

Cheap insurance against any tool disappearing:
Keep your prompts in plain text files, not locked in one app.
Keep your workflow written down, not in your head.
When the tool vanishes, you reload the whole thing somewhere else in 10 minutes.

Do you feel the same?

Question for builders who've been at this a while:
What's the one part of your workflow that survived every tool you've switched?
Mine's a daily plain-text log. It's outlived 4 apps.
Curious what's outlasted yours.

1/ This week the AI model I planned everything around (Fable 5) got pulled for every builder outside the US.
Access gone in 3 days.
Here's the framework that meant I lost a tool, not a week. 🧵

Rule I'm relearning the hard way this week:
Don't marry the tool.
I bet a whole week on one AI model. Gone in 3 days. The builders who panicked are stuck. The ones with a process just swapped the engine and kept driving.

By the way, do you know a good App Store submission review skill? I built my own and I would like to compare outcomes between mine and others.
Nine months ago I couldn’t code.
This morning I built a skill that checks my iOS app against App Store rules before I hit submit.
Could’ve grabbed an off-the-shelf one. But building the tool is how rules go from abstract to obvious.
PairHabit goes in soon. In bocca al lupo.

6/ The meta-lesson for builders 35-55:
We didn't grow up expecting our tools to vanish in 3 days. This space does that now.
The skill isn't mastering any one tool. It's staying loosely attached to all of them.

7/ So don't marry the tool.
Date it. Use it hard while it's good. Be ready to move on Monday.
The hands stay. The habit stays. The tools are just passing through.
What's one tool you'd be in trouble without right now? That's your next thing to de-risk.

New daily habit I actually look forward to: 5 thoughtful @ProductHunt comments before lunch.
Not "great launch!" Real ones. What I'd change, what I'd steal.
Helping other makers is the least draining marketing there is.
