Hey everyone,
New video just dropped. I rebuilt my PRYMO app from scratch in about 2 hours.
PRYMO is this text-enhancement tool I built a few months ago. It worked, but the UI was kind of a mess. Multiple screens, floating modals, just not as efficient as it could be.
So I wanted to test out Claude Code and see if I could rebuild it properly. And I feel like it turned out really well.
In the video, you'll see:
The exact workflow I used. I started with Manus to analyze my GitHub repo and generate a kickstart prompt. Then I fed that into Claude Code and let it plan out the rebuild.
The iterations. It wasn't perfect immediately. I had to refine the layout multiple times to get to a single-screen flow that actually made sense. You'll see all of that.
The theme struggle. Claude Code kept giving me these purple gradient designs, which I hate. So I had to apply my own theme using TweakCN. The final result has this tomato-y light mode that I'm honestly very happy with.
The technical stuff. How I integrated OpenRouter for dynamic model selection, how I handled API key management inline, all of that.
This is a real example of the "App Showcase" and "Design Workflows" stuff we talk about here. It's not a polished tutorial. It's just me building something I actually use.
I'm curious what you guys think. Have you tried rebuilding old projects with new AI tools? What was your experience?
Let me know below.
