Show HN: I can't write Python. It works anyway
Read an article about analyzing Garmin data with AI. Sounded great —
except I didn't want to send my health data to any cloud service.
So I asked Claude to write me 2-3 scripts and a dashboard.
This escalated a bit. 30 days and 20$ later I have this:
A local-first Garmin archive with interactive HTML dashboards, Excel
exports, weather and pollen context, AES-256 encrypted token storage,
and a self-healing data pipeline with 515 automated tests. Windows
desktop app, no terminal needed. Nothing leaves your machine.
I never wrote a line of Python. I understood the problems and made the
architectural decisions. Claude wrote everything else.

- haaz 6mo agoNice. I’m looking for something like this for android connect as I have a few different wearables. Might have to build it myself like you did
- Wewoc 6mo agoThe architecture is moving in that direction — v2.0 is the idea of a multi-source system. Not there yet and my take a while, but the concept is documented if you want to look at the approach.

- vrighter 5mo agoAre the tests testing?
- Wewoc 5mo agoMostly yes — they were written by Claude/Gemini/ChatGPT, but they've already caught several regressions introduced by the models during later refactors; there’s a fascinating loop in letting one iteration of an LLM audit the next via a static test suite.
