What they did

Connor Burd screenshots onboarding flows from about 20 apps, defines his data structures in a text doc, then has Claude Code build the screens. Stack: Figma, Mixpanel, Claude Code, Next.js, Vercel, Expo and RevenueCat.

How it went

He reports $20,000 a month in revenue about 50 days after launch, 12,000+ downloads, and first place in a RevenueCat hackathon growth award.

Worth knowing

Starter Story interviews the founder and shows dashboards on camera; we have not verified the numbers. Influencer and UGC campaigns did the growth.
