Coding Is Dead? I Built 5 Apps Today Without Writing Code

You know that app idea you never start because setting up navigation and push notifications feels like a whole weekend? I put Vive Code to the test on exactly that: describe an app, let AI plan and build it, run it on your phone. In the video I build several apps this way, including a map-based reminder app with working push notifications, and take one to TestFlight.

Whether you code or not, it's worth seeing how far a prompt gets you now.

What's inside

  • From idea to a running app on your phone with just a prompt
  • A dishwashing turn tracker built with AI planning and live progress
  • Location reminders with push notifications, configured automatically
  • Restyle an entire app by pasting a screenshot of a design you like
  • Roll back to earlier versions when an experiment goes wrong
  • Publish to TestFlight with an Expo and Apple Developer account
