I did it all without owning a Mac. No Xcode, no $2k laptop — just the cloud and a stack of AI tools.
My toolkit:
🤖 Claude Code (Opus 4.8 max) — the driver
⚡ Codex — parallel coding
📱 Despia — packaged & shipped straight to the App Store (no Mac required!)
🎭 Playwright — automated the App Store Connect submission
⚙️ Next.js + Supabase — the app itself
Idea → built → submitted → approved → live worldwide (survived one rejection, fixed it fast 😅).
And we're just getting started — already building Tennis Buddy Plus, our paid plan with AI camera analysis: stroke breakdowns, in/out calls, auto-scoring & shareable highlights. 🎥
Not affiliated with any apps, have nothing to sell.
I will be more that happy to answer any question 😀
