Building an app using only AI


I do quite a lot of development work for a customer, and this particular customer uses Ryver (https://ryver.com) for the management of the different projects. This works rather well and it’s not very expensive. But a big problem is that it looks like development of Ryver is completely shutdown. At least the last couple of years nothing has happened, nothing at all.

As Marcel (my Boss Mann) was pushing me to use Claude as a development aid, I got curious if Claude could give me a hand. I even went a step further and decided to go the very lazy route. I don’t want to write a single line of code.

The only thing I have created was a Markdown file with the specs I wanted. And feeding that to Claude was rather a surprise. The app was build, some things I forgot, iterating started and within a day I have something rather similar to Ryver. Not as slick, some stuff still missing, but already very close.

I also asked Claude if it was possible to have a desktop app for Linux, Windows and Mac. No problem, but the best way would be Rust and Tauri. I don’t know either, but who cares, Claude knows. Just go ahead and see what happens.

Without writing a single line of code, I have created a complete server, client and whatever, all automatic. I’m rather impressed. AI came a long way, and I guess it’s not done, yet.

Enjoy!
