StackGarden is live on the App Store

By Chris

StackGarden is approved and live on the App Store. The whole experiment was: can I co-build an app with Codex and actually ship it?

The answer is yes.

Here’s what I used:

  • Xcode (with smoke and UI testing)
  • GitHub
  • OpenAI Codex
  • A lot of research
  • Weekends and nights

My process was pretty straightforward. Every night I’d build a plan with Codex for what I wanted to get done. Confirm the plan, set it to build overnight, then check results the next night. Spot check the code, commit to GitHub.

Rinse and repeat.
