One App a Week

I’ve been pushing myself to build one app a week to learn how to get the most out of Claude Code. I’m on the cheaper Max plan, and I’ve been absolutely hammering it on weekends.

Along the way I put together some semi-composable CLAUDE.md templates on GitHub. They make a solid foundation for getting Claude to produce maintainable code—though you do have to nudge it back to the rules now and then. For anything more complex, I switch to Plan Mode and treat Claude more like a sounding board than an auto-coder.

DriveLog

The first app in this series is DriveLog. In California, drivers under 18 must log 50 hours of supervised driving before taking the test. The DMV provides a printable PDF, which teens fill out by hand and parents sign. I wanted to see if I could “vibe-code” a simple mobile-friendly app to make this whole process painless. Turns out you can.
