Then, in Claude Code

Your idea, three designs

Claude asks you about your idea, then opens three clickable designs of your first screen. You pick one.

Design 1, a list of dishes neighbors cook tonight
Design 2, a drawn street with the cooking kitchens lit
Design 3, one dish and one button

Real output from a sample run: Two Doors Down, dinner from neighbors who cook.

Make it

Your app runs on your computer, and you answer yes to three questions about it: is it useful, does it look as good as the best app like it, is it easy to use.

Lessons: Spec, your app written down, Build, Prove, seeing it work yourself, then the Bar review of those three questions. Planned for one evening. Badge: It runs. Opens after the Free lesson.

Ship it

It lives at its own address, and your friends open the link.

Lessons: GitHub, where your code is kept, Your domain, Sign-in, Deploy, putting your app on the internet. Planned for about a week. Badge: It's live. Opens after Level 1.

Test it

Strangers see it, and you get a Verdict: what they did, as a number, such as "3 in 10 visitors signed up". That number is an example, not a result.

Lessons: A pitch, one sentence on who it's for, A landing page, Reading the number. Planned for about a week. Badge: The verdict. Opens after Level 2.
