Built a production blog using agentic AI (Claude Opus 4.6)
When Claude Opus 4.6 was released, I decided to test it on a real problem instead of a demo.
Rather than asking questions, I treated it like a junior developer and asked it to build alongside me. The result is a real, production-ready blog with full structure, newsletter functionality, clean UX, and working logic — no templates or drag-and-drop tools.
What stood out wasn’t just that it generated code, but how it worked through the problem: breaking tasks down, reasoning about trade-offs, iterating with context, and fixing its own mistakes when guided correctly.
This didn’t feel like “AI writes code.” It felt like collaborating with a developer that never gets tired, while I stayed responsible for decisions and quality.
I’m sharing the project to show what’s possible with agentic AI workflows today, where AI handles structure and repetition, and humans focus on judgment, direction, and review. Building full-stack products doesn’t have to take months anymore — with the right workflow, it can take days.
Happy to share what worked, what didn’t, and where human oversight still matters.
Great start , this has potential. If the workflow feels smooth and the content holds up, it could be a big time saver.
Congratulations on your launch. It looks impressive! What channels are you exploring to attract early users?

Thanks! I’m still in early testing mode. Right now I’m focusing on sharing the build process on LinkedIn and Indie Hackers, and validating interest before scaling distribution. Still figuring out what channel resonates most.
That’s a smart approach; validating interest before investing effort into scaling can save you from a lot of wasted time.
One observation I’ve made with early-stage products is that the best channels for outreach aren’t just about how many people you can reach, but also about where the problem you’re addressing is already being actively discussed. While platforms like LinkedIn are excellent for documenting your journey, engaging in communities where users openly discuss their pain points can provide you with more valuable feedback early on.
Have you tried participating in existing conversations about the problem you’re solving instead of solely sharing your building process?
