I'm an apprentice electrician. I built this iOS app using only Claude
14 hours ago
Hey HN,
I’m currently working as an apprentice electrician in Vancouver. I spend my days pulling wire and bending conduit, so I have zero background in CS or software engineering.
Why I built this: I love going to concerts and local festivals, but I hated having to check Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, and random local blogs just to plan a weekend. It felt like work. I just wanted one clean feed showing "what's happening near me tonight."
How I built it: Since I don't know Swift, I used Claude for 99% of the code. My workflow was basically: ask Claude for a feature -> paste into Xcode -> get an error -> paste error back to Claude -> repeat until it runs.
I don't have a GitHub repo to share because, honestly, the code is probably a mess and I’m still figuring out how git works.
The App (Discovr): It aggregates events from multiple platforms. It’s free and I tried to keep the UI as clean as possible since I hate ad-cluttered apps.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the usability. If you find any bugs (I'm sure there are plenty), let me know!

If you would like some help with productionizing this, or help with Git or whatever, feel free to drop me an email! my user at gmail works :)
Love seeing cool, useful apps like this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the offer! I'd actually love some advice on the productionizing side of things. I'll definitely drop you an email!
