I've become an indie Apple vibe-coder - Samuel Pitonak (@sampittko)

I am a web dev. With the rise of generative AI, I've been exploring my interests a bit more and decided to solve some of my own problems via devices I already own and kinda like too.

I like Apple ecosystem. I also hate it. But I like it more than I hate it which is why I am not using Android. It helps me stay productive and I like it’s feel. I like the way devices work together. The biggest advantage I’ve experienced recently is having apps on my Watch that help me capture data on the go related to my self-awareness. This data includes: habits, daily mood, expenses, mindful minutes.

However, my personal workflow has become fragmented and I’ve decided to reduce that complexity. Instead of interacting with 3 separate apps from independent developers, I will be working with 2 that I made myself. One app automates habit tracking which reduces complexity even further. The features are going to be completementary. Stay tuned for updates. I am going to be covering them on my free with tech YouTube channel.

This is a short blog post. I just felt I wanted to post this. I also posted some random tweets (1, 2) about todays progress. It feels good to vibe-code an app from React Native to Swift in 2 days and solve problems in ones life. Tomorrow and onwards, I am going to bullet-proof the functions to consider more edge cases. The plan is to create a landing and promote fwt. axis by the end of the month. Let’s see how that goes.
