I got into building apps, and promoting one takes a website.

Being used to Nuxt, I set my sights on the competition, Next.js, to learn a bit more. The least I can say is that I didn't feel lost. Apart from a different syntax, the philosophy is the same. I'd give Nuxt the edge on file organization, with a cleaner separation between site and API.

I learned more about marketing and how to structure a landing page to target the right personas. My experience at Air360 taught me that keeping things as simple as possible is best, to avoid confusion and support requests. With Claude's help, I found the right words to speak to users and answer their questions upfront.

Claude doesn't really shine at design: it's good for suggesting ideas, but the result isn't convincing. So I took over. I chose the colors and fonts, refined the logo, and set the art direction for the structure and design of the pages. Claude handled the execution.

The site also serves as the API for the app, to download tiles and manage logins.

Everything is self-hosted on a VPS. Merging a PR builds Docker images, and Coolify takes care of the rest. Several Ansible scripts were written to maintain the server.

Everything was built in collaboration with Claude, step by step and with a lot of guidance. Not a single line of code was written by hand.
