ANECDOTE

Built $7M App Clone in 1 Hour

  • Riley Brown and Muhammad built a full clone of a viral iPhone app that made $7 million last month using AI in under an hour.
  • They recreated a photo storage cleaner app with Tinder-style swipe-to-delete functionality on iPhone and iPad with no code.
ADVICE

Make AI Prompts Focused and Sequential

  • When requesting AI changes, avoid batching many unrelated requests in one prompt; focus on one change at a time for better results.
  • Fix core functionality first, then apply design improvements to maintain stable app behavior.
INSIGHT

Preload Images for Seamless Swiping

  • Loading multiple photos ahead (e.g., 10) to enable smooth swiping mimics TikTok and Instagram's content buffering.
  • This approach improves user experience by letting users swipe through photos seamlessly even offline for a short time.
