Also made something like this called Sun Path which tracks where the sun is through centuries and how the path deviates ever so slowly.

Plus there are all the equinoxes and solstices.

For some context, it seems like the Indian government wants Bitchat to be taken down.

New comment by momentmaker in "I Tried Building a Real App with AI. It Took a Year"

momentmaker — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:24:28 +0000

I have similar experience as the author where I don't know the first thing about Swift but I was able to make my first iOS app[0] from start to finish on the initial release in about 3 weeks.

I think the hardest part was actually automating the release pipeline to directly upload to the App Store for a release with Test Flight.

It wouldn't have been possible without Claude's help.

Then next hard and tedious part was do a complete conversion to Android with Kotlin, which I also didn't have any experience either. That one-to-one parity was rather painful but it was done in about a month or so.

Now I just develop create features on the iOS version first and then do a parity match with the Android version after with Claude.
