Build real apps
without writing code.

The honest version of no-code: AI writes real production code, and you learn to direct it. In 12 weeks you’ll take an idea to a working, launched app, and own every line of it.

Can you build an app
without coding?

Yes, but the way you do it changed completely in the last two years. The old no-code answer was drag-and-drop builders: quick to start, painful to scale, and your product lives inside someone else's platform forever.

The new answer is AI-assisted development. Tools like Cursor, Claude, and v0 write real production code: React Native apps, Next.js sites, Supabase backends, all from plain-English direction. You don't write the code, but you own it: standard, portable, hireable-developer-readable code, with no platform lock-in and no per-user pricing traps.

The catch: directing AI well is a skill. You need to know what to ask for, how to evaluate what comes back, and how to debug when it breaks. That skill, plus the design and product thinking that makes an app worth building, is what this course teaches. It's the "build" phase of our 12-week program, wrapped in the full journey from idea to launch.

The no-code stack
that produces real code.

⌨️
Cursor

An AI-first code editor: describe what you want, review what it builds, iterate. This is where your app takes shape.

🧠
Claude & ChatGPT

Planning features, generating code, explaining errors in plain English, and getting unstuck at 11pm.

⚡️
v0 by Vercel

Generates polished, working UI components from prompts and designs: your interface, production-ready.

🗄️
Supabase

Database, authentication, and storage with a friendly dashboard. Your app's backend, no server admin required.

📱
Expo / Next.js

The frameworks your AI-written code runs on: native iOS/Android apps or full web apps, your choice.

🐙
GitHub

Version control for your project, so nothing is ever lost, and so future collaborators can join cleanly.

What students build
in 12 weeks.

Every cohort ships real products: marketplace apps, habit trackers, community tools, booking systems, niche social apps, about 65% native mobile, 35% web. Each one goes through the same arc: validated in weeks 1–2, designed in Figma in weeks 3–6, built in weeks 7–10, and launched in weeks 11–12. See the complete list of artifacts on what you build.

The launch process,
handled properly.

🧪
TestFlight beta

Real testers on real devices before launch, and your first bug reports, handled with AI at your side.

🏪
App Store submission

Listings, screenshots, review guidelines: the bureaucratic maze, guided step by step.

📣
Public launch

A landing page, a Product Hunt-style launch plan, and analytics with PostHog to see what real users do.

By the end of the program, you'll have a working application in users' hands, and the durable skill underneath it: the ability to keep building products without writing traditional code.

Questions,
answered straight.

Is this really no-code if AI is writing code?
+
You won't hand-write code, but real code gets written by AI, under your direction. We think that's strictly better than classic no-code: you get the accessibility of drag-and-drop with none of the platform lock-in. You'll finish able to read code well enough to direct and debug it, which is the actually valuable skill.
How is this different from Bubble, Glide, or other no-code builders?
+
Those platforms host your app inside their ecosystem: their pricing, their limits, their export restrictions. Here your app is standard React Native or Next.js code in your own GitHub repo, on infrastructure (Supabase, Vercel, App Store) that scales with you. If you later hire a developer, they can work on it immediately.
What if my app breaks and I can't fix it?
+
This is exactly what the live format is for. You'll learn a debugging workflow (reproduce, ask AI to explain, fix, verify), you have weekly 1-on-1 check-ins, and the cohort plus instructors are there when you're stuck. Getting unstuck is a taught skill in this program, not an afterthought.
Can I build my specific idea in this course?
+
Most app ideas fit: marketplaces, social tools, trackers, booking systems, content apps, internal tools. Ideas needing heavy custom hardware, real-time games, or regulated integrations may need scoping down to an MVP, which we help you do in Week 1.
What does it cost, and what's included?
+
$2,400 in full or 3 × $900 monthly, including all 12 weeks, live sessions, recordings, weekly 1-on-1s, lifetime community, and Demo Day. No upsells, no locked 'pro tier' content.
