Wow this has been by far the HARDEST video to make

Took almost 3 weeks, scrapped 3 times and took a team of 2 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

But we’ll be going live tomorrow 👀

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

47 mins 😮‍💨 this video on monday is gonna be a ride

sf vlog coming soon

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@imshreekumar flutter looked interesting and i spoke to someone on their team who is slowly convincing me 👀

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

5 hours later, this unfortunately did not work well 🥲

But I think it's because my prompt was weak

I should have used goal in parallel with it AND set up a good verification test by letting it compare android and ios simulator 1:1

Testing this next

let���s see how good Opus 4.8 + Claude Code workflows really are 😮‍💨

tldr: "port amy to android make no mistakes"

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

NEW VIDEO ALERT 🥳

This is a 5 month update on my app Amy (revenue, profit, etc...)

and im SUPER embarrassed to admit this but I calculated week 1 retention wrong last month and it is quite bad 🥲

SO for the next few months my only mission is to fix it 😤 heres how its going

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@TechWithMatteo 🙏🙏🙏

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@twobitjay this one was just for the love of the game 😤

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

not your average calorie tracking app 😮‍💨

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

hm not sure what to put on this screen so threw everything i could think of 🤔

I like this idea of people having profiles though

I might introduce this even if you don't use the friends/accountability feature tbh

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

what if we added some accountability into amy 👀

first time building a social feature into one of my apps, lets see how this goes 👇

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

nice we got basic notifications hooked up✌️

i can think of a LOT of fun things we can do with this 👀

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

nooo couldn't 1 shot native android :(

i think its close though but it makes sense, i have a feeling claude code is better trained on react native

will keep digging to see how can i improve this

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@bcherny since my 5 hour usage reset...

lets spin up another instance to make a native kotlin version now 😮‍💨

will leave this running overnight and compare it to the 1 shot react native version we just did!

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@valewnrt i was also worried about this

running another clean port right now to android native (kotlin) and going to see if it also eats 40% overnight^

will confirm

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@valewnrt 40% on the 5 hour limit before it reset! my weekly is glitched so i cant really see but i estimate 10%

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

@valewnrt @bcherny oh i definitely will haha
