- What they did
- The author pays for Claude Pro and uses it every day to build new apps and websites, relying on the default harnesses rather than custom setups. For the German learning app, they built it for their girlfriend, who had just moved to Germany and wanted a fun way to learn. They also use Claude Code and its IDE for most work.
- How it went
- The author calls the app their latest creation and Claude Pro the best choice of their life. The comment gives no details on features, build time, or how well the app works for learning.
- Worth knowing
- The author splits tasks: Gemini for basic questions and research, ChatGPT or Canva's AI for image generation, and Claude for building the apps.
Try it yourself with Claude
Help me build a simple language learning app for [target language] aimed at a [beginner/intermediate] learner like [who it's for]. Include [features, e.g. vocabulary flashcards, short quizzes, phrases for daily life such as shopping and appointments] and make it work in a browser. Start by proposing the file structure and a basic working version I can open locally, then stop and tell me how to run it.
