Then <a href="https://voidstar.org/posts/2025-12-16-another-home-cooked-app/">tillerBuddy</a>. Each one was fun to build and useful. But each one also took days of work — wrestling with CloudKit, vibe coding against Google Sheets, iterating on SwiftUI views.</p> <p>After the third or fourth app, I noticed I was doing the same dance every time. Stand up a database. Wire up realtime sync. Generate SwiftUI CRUD views. Build. Sign. Archive. Upload. Wait for TestFlight processing. Register an MCP server so Claude can manage the data too. Naturally, I used Claude to do much of the tedious work, but some was still click-ops that just isn&rsquo;t that fun for me. What if I could automate away that un-fun part?</p>
