Building An App Live with AI - You Can Build With Me!

Описание: We are taking the open-source YourPods application and engineering a critical privacy feature: a local-only account system that removes the dependency on G-Podder sync servers. This requires a fundamental refactoring of the app’s authentication flow, a task that would normally take a senior engineer days to map out. We attempt to do it live, relying almost entirely on AI agents.

You will see the process exactly as it happens—the successful code generation, the inevitable logic traps, and the "human in the loop" troubleshooting required to get across the finish line. We explore how to write outcomes-based prompts, how to debug when the AI says "it's done" but the simulator says otherwise, and why understanding the architecture matters more than memorizing the syntax.

Whether you are a designer looking to code or a developer looking to speed up your workflow, this is your blueprint for navigating the messy, high-stakes intersection of human creativity and machine logic. Download the source code, open your simulator, and start building the future.

I'll be building a new feature for YourPods podcast player, an app you can download today. It's opensource, which means the code is freely available, so you can follow along or add your own features: https://github.com/asecretcompany/you... (Apple Test Flight beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jF1...)

This isn't a tutorial or a manual, but I'll give you the context and the why behind YourPods, cover the tools I use, and provide some examples along the way. When you get stuck, use search and AI to get unstuck, following along you'll know what state you're trying to get to :-) .
