card&board

A working native macOS planning app—and proof of product design authority before, during, and after AI-assisted implementation.

card&board

card&board is a finished, working macOS app I use every day. It is not publicly released yet, but it has already replaced the subscription task manager I used to pay for.

A native planning application I conceived, specified, designed, tested, and now use every day—implemented in SwiftUI with Claude Code.

AI wrote the production code. I defined the product logic, interaction model, constraints, and acceptance standard before implementation began—and remained the design authority throughout the build.

The result is hard proof of the distinction between vibe coding and augmented product design: the product was thought through and designed before AI entered the process, then reviewed against that specification until it became a persistent native application.
