How I made all the textures for my app:
1. Ask GPT 4o for a grayscale image of whatever texture
2. Downsize it to minimum dimensions
3. Compress it with a free online image optimizer
4. Apply the texture to the component and play around with the opacity

Finally submitted my iOS app for beta approval, took longer than expected since I rewrote some parts and went unnecessary hard on providing deck customization styles. But I’m really happy with how it’s come out looking!

Wanted to refactor a vibe coded file today but realized I disagreed with so many of its decision I needed to start it fresh.
Personally have decided I will only let the AI code after I have first approved the approach it will take.

2 weeks ago I asked myself if I could build a full mobile app with zero mobile dev experience in 2 weeks…
I did not finish but I got about 2/3rds the way.
I’m setting a new goal to have a beta out within 5 days and full launch in 10

Today I worked on adding the custom deck editor page for my conversation starter app.
Next step is setting up the backend + UI polish to make the app more cohesive.
