Build in Public [S02E01]

I just shared a new update on Talanoa after 3 months of building.

No YC.

A lot of shipping.

A new calendar feature that started as "I don't really get why people want this" and ended as "ok, I can't go back now."

A new website, built 100% with Claude, but not in one magical prompt.

The real trick was to stop asking AI to build the whole thing at once.

I built it like I would in Figma:

hero first, then before/after, then each section one by one.

The more context the AI had, the better it got.

That’s probably the biggest lesson from the last few months.

AI is not a replacement for taste.

But it is a crazy accelerator when you already know what you want.
