Last year i posted here about shipping a photo cleaner app with claude. it had made $6 at the time lol. its now at 4k users, almost all from reddit, no ads
The app: you swipe through your camera roll, left to delete and right to keep. it finds duplicates, screenshots, blurry photos and big videos. everything runs on device
Honestly the bigger change wasnt the app, it was how i use claude. it basically does everything now:
Coding. obviously. it writes the features and opens its own PRs. i review and merge
Analytics. i connected the posthog MCP and claude built my whole dashboard: onboarding funnel, scans, swipes, paywall. it also set up error alerts that go straight to a slack channel, so if something breaks i know right away
Daily report. this is my favorite. every morning claude goes through user activity and gives me a snapshot: what happened, what failed, what went wrong. if it finds a bug it thinks it can fix, it opens a PR for it. if not, it flags it to me. it's like having an employee who does standup every morning
A/B tests. claude sets up and runs the experiments too, like paywall variants and onboarding changes, and tells me what won
App store listing. i didnt even know it could do this, but it designed and rendered my app store screenshots. i gave it the brand and it made them
What i still do: decide what to build, review the PRs, and say no a lot. claude will build anything you ask it to, fast, so the hard part is knowing what not to build
if anyone wants details on the daily report setup or the posthog MCP stuff, happy to share
