This is where the build gets logged, with dates, the way the course was made: what was done, what went wrong, and the rule it left behind. 18 October. The second video on the YouTube channel went up: I Spent 1,400 Hours Building an App With Claude. The App Was the Easy Part. https://youtu.be/O64-ufrKneQ Also today: the channel got a Home tab with this video as its trailer, and links to the free course and the website. Here in the group, new videos now have their own category, YouTube Videos. The rule from today: nothing is done until it's been checked live. The title, description, tags and captions were read on the watch page against what was meant to go up. Post your own build log here as you go. Date first. Dave

One rule from the real build. On 6 June we found a fault that could drop paying people back to the free plan. They'd paid, and the app forgot. The fix was to check with the payment service every time, rather than trust a single message from it. If your app takes money, ask Claude this: "How does my app know someone has paid, and what happens if that message never arrives?" Share something valuable of your own here: a tool, a rule, or a mistake you won't make twice. Dave

Post your wins here, big or small. Your first plan said out loud in the app. A domain bought. A page that finally looks right. A first paying customer. Here's one from the record. On 8 October our daily email was reaching only about half the list, because the sending service was refusing some of them. It was fixed by sending in batches, and recording every answer the sending service gave. Not a glamorous win, but a real one. What's yours? Dave

Ask anything about building your app or the business around it. Nothing is too basic. I built VoiceFirstPlanner with Claude, and I don't write code. The questions that get the best answers say three things: • what you're trying to do • what you tried • what happened instead A screenshot helps more than a long description. I'll answer here, so everyone learns from it. Dave

This is the place for anything about building an app and the business around it that doesn't fit the other categories. To get it going, one easy question. If you have an app idea, even a half-formed one, what is it? One line is plenty. If you don't have one yet, tell us what brought you here. Dave
