I shipped 45 features for my Bible study app without writing the code

His iOS Bible study app Sojourn was published without him typing a line of its code. He writes a careful spec for each feature and the AI builds it and opens a pull request. He closed 45 features in a few weeks.

How it works

Drafts the app design with AI
Writes each feature up as a GitHub issue with a spec skill
The AI reads the issue and builds the feature
It opens a pull request
He publishes batches to the App Store himself

Why it’s worth knowing

One feature took one prompt and produced 2,466 lines of code across 27 files, home screen widget included.
