i'm an apprentice electrician based in bc, canada. i know how to pull wire but i knew absolutely zero swift before starting this project. i just wanted a simple way to find local events without checking a dozen different sites, so i decided to try building it with claude. my workflow was pretty simple: * i used 3.5 sonnet for most of the swiftui views since it's fast for visual stuff. * i switched to opus and eventually the new 4.5 model for the heavier logic, like writing node scripts to scrape event data and fixing app store rejection issues. the app is called Discovr. it's free to download. i did have to put some ads in there just to help cover the server costs (gotta keep the lights on lol). honestly it feels crazy that i can build software while working a trade job just by chatting with an ai. if you're on the fence about starting a project, just go for it.
