🔶Choosing an idea Before we start building, we need to choose an idea to build Pop open Grok or your favorite LLM and list all of your interests Then ask for the top 10 challenges of those interests Then ask for 10 ways you can solve those challenges with an app Choose one

🔶Installing Claude Code Claude Code runs in your terminal. But it's even more powerful when you run it inside Cursor Download and install Cursor Then open a terminal in Cursor and use this command: npm install -g @anthropic -ai/claude-code Then type 'claude' and you're

🔶Building your app Describe to Claude in plain english what you want to build (ask to have it built in NextJS) Ask to build it out step by step using the smallest steps possible That's the key to using AI to code, have it break everything down into small simple tasks

🔶Testing and debugging Open up another terminal in Cursor. Type npm run dev This will run your app After every step Claude builds, test it out. If you run into any bugs, copy and paste the entire error back into Claude Code. Claude is great at taking errors and fixing them

🔶Have great CLAUDE rules The CLAUDE .md file in your project has the rules for Claude Having a great ruleset will make Claude perform even better Create a CLAUDE .md file in the root of your project and paste in these rules: 1. First think through the problem, read the

🔶Pro tips You have the basics down of using Claude Code Here are some other key things you should know: • Commit to github every step of the way • Don't doomscroll while Claude works. It will slow you down • Use nextJS for front end, Supabase for database, Clerk for auth

Claude Code is the most powerful AI tool in the world right now If you use it properly, you can build and launch money making apps without ANY experience 99% of people will bookmark this post and do nothing with it Be the 1% that takes action

@AlexFinnX Addiing one pro tip: screenshots are your friend, especially on mobile. Workflow: if on a Mac, take screenshots from your llcal host ip address. Claide can tell you the IP to your dev server to see your app as you build. Take screenshots of bugs and text them to yourself.

@NidoesAi good tip man!

@AlexFinnX Awesome guide. I need to get you on http://ideabrowser.com to find validated startup ideas to build!

@gregisenberg that would be sick man! I could probably make tutorial videos on building out ideas from idea browser too to show people it's possible

@AlexFinnX Claude Code vs Cursor?

@thejustinfagan Yes

@AlexFinnX What are some sub agents you would create when using Claude code, and some good practices for content engineering?

@AlexFinnX Question... Don't you need to have Computer Science over all skills to fix bugz and whatnot?

@AlexFinnX Need to play around with Claude Code more. I've been a Cursor guy through and through, and it's helped me build 3 profitable projects already.

@AlexFinnX How do you find Claude Code compared to Codex

@AlexFinnX Love this. Curious though..... what’s the biggest mistake you see beginners make when trying to ship with Claude?

@AlexFinnX Mix it with GPT5-high if you're serious, if you pit them against each other on more complex planning and bug fixes works like magic

@AlexFinnX i’ve been building with codex and VS Code but might swap VSC for Cursor just hearing too many good things

@AlexFinnX crazy how fast no code is getting replaced by better code tools

@AlexFinnX Thanks for the guide alex, can it do complex logic and algorithms?

@AlexFinnX Also, don't forget keywords... "Think" + "hard"/"really hard"/"ultra hard". This makes a significant difference. 🤙🏼

@AlexFinnX A great guide and a well intentioned PSA in the middle of it all - "Don't doomscroll while Claude works. It will slow you down" 💯

@AlexFinnX Need to dive in here. My kind goes to How can we get students using this responsibility ?

@AlexFinnX Thanks Alex

@AlexFinnX claude-code is dope, unmatched DX mate

@AlexFinnX Time to lock in and build 💪

@AlexFinnX Built 1 so far!

@AlexFinnX Have you tried Replit yet and if so, what are your comparisons?

@AlexFinnX Great Guide! Thanks for sharing Alex!

@AlexFinnX Don't fade this man.

@AlexFinnX This innovation is vital for the #CreatorEconomy. Empowering creators to monetize effectively is crucial. Excited to see how this game-changer unfolds. Claude Code is truly transforming creators' game.
