I built it because all the Todo apps seem bloated and mainly, when I am working on something, I don't want to ruin my focus, so I wanted some quick way to add/cross tasks off.

And also, currently building a "clone" of Apple Music app for macOS because Apple's native App is horribly slow and has many UX shortcomings.

It's a bookmarker tool.

The concept is intentionally simple: you open a photo, it gets covered by a layer of fog, and you use your finger to wipe the fog away and reveal the image underneath – a bit like drawing on a fogged-up window.

I’ve always wanted to publish something on the App Store, so I decided to use this as an experiment: how far can I get while letting AI write the entire app?

For full transparency, essentially all of the code was written by AI. I guided it, described what I wanted, tested the results, reported bugs, and made product/design decisions, but I didn’t really write the implementation myself.

For an app this small, I was surprised by how far this approach got me. It wasn’t completely hands-off – there was plenty of iteration, especially around making the fog and water droplets feel somewhat realistic – but it went from an idea to an actual app in the store.

I’m a software developer myself, which made the experiment particularly interesting. In many cases I understood what the AI was doing, but deliberately tried not to take over and write the code myself.

I installed Codex around three weeks ago. It’s hard to estimate exactly how much time I’ve spent on the app since then, but it’s probably been a couple dozen hours rather than hundreds.

Both have a fair bit of traction, but is often the case, keen to do something new this month.

It started when my ex and I were having trouble in our marriage (divorce will be finalised soon), probably after watching too many a YouTube DIY channels, and here I am a year and a half later :D

I moved in when it became livable 6 months ago (I had to shower at the gym for a month), and it should be finished sometime next year. I don't work that much on it though, as I am busy with my job and kids. Some rooms are nearly finished, others are barely started. I've got used to the concrete slab as a flooring and no doors.

Would I recommend it? Ummmm... probably not. But it's been an interesting experience, and I've learned a lot. I don't want to diminish professional contractors, as some of them are really skilled, but I feel you can get most of the way to "standard home finish" by watching a few YouTube videos on the topic. You will be slower of course and might need to repeat/fix your work, but then to push it to "luxury-ish finish" you mainly just need a good eye for detail.

An important lesson I learnt is the phrase "paint covers a multitude of sins" is wrong, as paint does not cover it, your mistakes will still be visible just in a different colour. Joint compound/plaster does though :D
