I had never written Swift. The AI and I shipped my wife's dance app.

His wife, a dancer, was fighting normal video players to learn routines, dragging the playhead back by hand for every rep. With zero Swift and no iOS experience, he built Dashi Dance with AI over about ten weeks, and it went live on the App Store on August 25 in 15 languages, with three updates shipped in the first two and a half weeks.

How it works

  1. Each feature starts as a spec, becomes a plan, then tasks
  2. The AI writes the code and he reviews it against the plan
  3. Tests and measurements check claims before anything ships
  4. The app launches on the App Store in 15 languages
  5. Three updates ship in the first two and a half weeks

Why it’s worth knowing

He started with zero Swift and shipped a real App Store app in 15 languages, with an accessibility check and a localization run that caught mistakes no test had flagged.
