True that Claude can generate a simple working prototype in a single prompt. But there's still the friction of deploying the app, making it accessible across devices, and easily managing updates. Which something like Glide streamlines for non-technical users.

- franga2000 2y agoEven just "make it a PWA" can take an experienced frontend developer a day or more. The manifest needs to be just right, the server might need to be reconfigured to serve the right MIME type, you need to generate a few mandatory icon sizes, you need a service worker even if you're not using it... If you're using a big framework like Vite, this is somewhat easier, but then it's not a "simple html file" anymore and you spend just as much time fiddling with framework stuff.
- reustle 2y agoFor those curious, you can also do some pretty fast prototyping (including deploy) with https://bolt.new https://bolt.new and https://v0.dev https://v0.dev (vercel). Sometimes even a single prompt.
