Day 6: Exploring the UI design with Google Stitch
A design session using Google Stitch to explore visual directions for the SessionClick main screen — plus a first proper look at project time and costs.
Day 5: UI design, a foreground service, and a hard sync problem
Today had three acts: sketching the full UI concept, building a foreground service, and solving an audio/visual sync problem that turned out to require a C++ fix.
Day 4: First audio prototype running on a real device
The metronome clicks on a real Android device. Here’s how Claude handled the architecture, Gemini wrote the code, and I directed traffic between them.
Day 3: Setting up a knowledge base and organising the project
No app code written today, but the project infrastructure got a lot more solid — a knowledge base is live, four technical articles are written, and the project notes are finally tidy.
Day 2: Picking a name, choosing an architecture, and making the first commit
SessionClick has a name, a GitHub repo, and a KMP project skeleton. Here’s how the decisions fell.
Day 1: Why I'm building a metronome app (and why it probably won't make money)
Starting a solo app project with AI assistance, a small budget, and realistic expectations.
