embero · reddit · 2026-08-23
An indie developer shipped TrackBridge, a free iOS head-tracking app for gaming using Swift, ARKit, and UDP. Motivated by expensive existing solutions (200 EUR), the prototype was built with AI assistance. The author found Claude Code superior to ChatGPT for handling the OpenTrack protocol and fixing bugs. Initial stats (1 week): 60 downloads, 2k impressions, and 1 EUR in ad revenue.
