I built an iOS app in 7 days with no team, no funding, from a café in Morocco. Here's exactly how.
6 months ago I knew nothing about building iOS apps.
Last week I shipped one.
Here's the exact stack I used and why:
→ Expo React Native — one codebase, real iOS app
→ Claude AI — the brain that learns your writing voice
→ Supabase — free database, zero config
→ Vercel — free backend hosting
→ Claude Code — wrote 80% of the code for me
The app: GhostWriter X
It reads 5 of your X posts, learns exactly how
you write, then generates posts that sound like
you — not like AI.
Total cost to build: $5 (Anthropic API credits)
Time: 7 days
Team: just me
What surprised me most: the hardest part wasn't
the code. It was figuring out what to build.
Submitting to App Store tomorrow.
AMA — happy to share anything about the build.
