Started a week ago, not knowing how to write a single line of code

I wanted to read the Bhagavad Gita daily, but couldn't find an app that felt right. So I built one.

Ended with a full iOS app live @10minutegita on the App Store:
→ 239 daily readings of the Bhagavad Gita
→ Original Sanskrit shlokas + transliteration
→ Verse-by-verse translations & commentary
→ Personal daily reflections
→ Streak tracking with calendar heatmap
→ Shareable verse cards with 8 gradient themes
→ Hindi & English bilingual support
→ Light/dark mode, adjustable fonts
→ Completely offline after download

Total cost: $200 Claude Max Subscription + $20 ChatGPT Pro Subscription + $99 Apple Developer fee
Lines of code I wrote: 0

Claude Code wrote everything. I just described what I wanted in plain English (non-technical background). Codex reviewed it. Now it's live on the App Store.

The barrier to building isn't coding anymore. It's just knowing what problem you want solved.

Built with @AnthropicAI's Claude Code
