They wanted notes their way, so they built the app with Claude Code. Barely 10 hours in, it does almost everything they asked for, plus extras. The App Store rejected it, though.

Built a notes application for their specific requirements with Claude Code.
For barely 10 hours of work it does almost everything they wanted, plus some extras that mostly worked after one iteration. Auto-updates still need the app closed by hand, and an App Store submission was rejected because users bring their own Claude key.
Build me a desktop notes app with these requirements: [for example, markdown, tags, fast search, local storage]. Start with a short plan and the simplest stack that fits, then build it one feature at a time, running it after each one. Keep my notes as plain files I can open without the app.
