Using Claude Code, I’m exploring what it even means for an app to be “an app” anymore. I mean, Claude Code + a sqlite db can get you really far. And it can create and re-create new UI on-demand. So, again, what is an app? I’m 30+ projects deep on this question.

- I made an iOS app just for my family. See Building River
- I made another iOS app to edit my Tiller transactions in Google Sheets. See Another Home-Cooked Meal App
- One step further, I made a “dark factory” to create more family apps. See The App Factory
