Neat. I just tried it out and one thing I was pleasantly surprised about was the styling it came up with. It was sleek, and it did not have the purply gradienty tailwindy styling that I always get from Claude. Did you do much to adjust the prompt for custom styles?

Styling apps is an area we're excited to spend time exploring. Today in our system prompt we say "ALWAYS make the design Apple-like. Use clean typography and consistent padding/spacing." However, tbh it's not something we carefully tested.

For the most part, I think the look and feel of the apps benefits from SwiftUI baking Apple's design system into the defaults so heavily.

This is really cool of you to openly share the prompt - props for that.

Really cool product, as someone currently attempting to build a somewhat similar internal tool I have an understanding of some of the pain points involved.

Please don't allow yourselves to be bought out by Apple in the way Buddy Build were back in 2018 though! (and then shut down)
