Claude 4.6 Opus just refactored my entire codebase in one call.
25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files.
It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti.
None of it worked.
But boy was it beautiful.
@moshhamedani π I bet it always feels good to wake up!
I too have a similar type of dream, many times Iβve dreamed Iβm still in high school, and I only have a month to my finals exams, but every time, Iβm not ready for the physics exams, itβs always physics! π
THE ULTIMATE MOBILE APP STACK
Iβve tried 200+ software tools this year (not exaggerating).
This is everything Iβve landed on for making mobile apps.
Itβs made building faster and easier. Nearly all of these have generous free plans btw.

DEVELOPMENT
Cursor β I use the $200/mo plan. Totally worth it. I used to use Claude Code too but I've found Cursor alone suffices β https://t.co/ML0uFfL2o8
Figma β For branding + visuals (I build app UIs directly with AI, not in Figma btw) β https://t.co/EedZ3BMZZ2
Willow Voice β Mac speech-to-text app to prompt AI faster β https://t.co/MRzuuV3bTg

Singular β For ad attribution. Preferred over AppsFlyer + Adjust β https://t.co/PAicoxJDWM
AppTweak β For App Store Optimization (ASO). Basically SEO for App Store β https://t.co/2k74tTk8Gt
Sentry β Mentioning this reluctantly. Works for now, but switching once PostHog adds error tracking for React Native.

I think some underestimate how much the right tools matter. Theyβre not everything, but they make a difference.
Lmk if I missed anything.
(p.s. some of these include my referral link. I only share what I truly believe in. Thx for the support!)

Been hunting for a budget-friendly way to store images and after all the digging, @Cloudflare R2 is easily the best option.
Not a sponsored post, but Iβm seriously considering moving my backend to Cloudflare. I already host my domains with them and honestly, theyβve got it all.
