18:10 – 18:25 | Opening: Why We're Here

A quick intro to set the vibe for Australia's growing Claude community!

18:25 – 18:45 | I'm a designer who can't code, and I'm shipping apps anyway — Alex Sviryda

I've spent 10 years as a product designer and never learned how to code. But I've always been around products, working out what to solve and why. What I couldn't do was code and build the thing myself.

Now I can, so I'm building Grocero, a grocery price comparison app for Australian supermarkets. There's a frontend for iOS and Android, a backend with scrapers, an API, and a landing page to make the marketing side work. Claude Code wrote all of it while I was orchestrating.

I'll walk you through the workflow that got it there. It starts with the early idea in my head and a lot of chats with Claude the sceptic, and it ends with the specific setup I use to make sure nothing gets exposed that shouldn't be. Marketing is in there too, since I'm going after organic traffic instead of paying for ads.

Spoiler alert: building turned out to be the easy part. Judgement is the hard part, and I'll show you how I make it work.

Staff Product Designer at Propeller, working on geospatial software for construction industry. Outside of work I build and ship real apps with Claude Code, without writing the code myself. Nudget, a job application tracker, is live on the App Store. Grocero, a grocery price comparison app for Australian supermarkets, is what I'm building now.
