He built his own baby tracker with Claude Code after Nara Baby went paid
braincrowd · reddit · 2026-10-09
When Nara Baby introduced paid plans, a developer with no Swift experience used Claude Code to build Bober, a free family baby tracker shipped to the App Store in about two weeks. Key details: CloudKit shared iCloud zones for two-parent sync with no backend, fixing the 'AI look' by precisely describing each screen and using Paul Hudson's SwiftUI/SwiftData agent skills plus Apple system-app screenshots, and a family-join crash only solved via the TestFlight crash log. He also had Claude rebuild four of his decade-old apps in SwiftUI.
