Building Pigeon Secure Notes in under 15 minutes of coding
...alternatively titled: how AI assistance is giving me a coding exoskeleton!
Hello fellow datanistas!
Have you ever wondered how fast you can build a full stack web application with the help of AI-assisted coding? This past week, I set myself a challenge to replicate core functionalities of an encrypted note app in record time, and I'm excited to share the journey and the outcomes with you.
In this blog post, I detail how I managed to bring the concept of Pigeon Secure Notes to life in just 15 minutes of coding. Yes, you read that right—15 minutes! From using AI tools like Cursor and Claude Sonnet 3.5 to handle the heavy lifting of coding to deploying the app with confidence, this experience was both exhilarating and enlightening. I've covered everything from the initial setup to the deployment quirks and even a last-minute security enhancement inspired by the act of writing itself.
If you're curious about the potential of AI in speeding up development processes or if you're looking for insights on managing and deploying applications efficiently, this post is for you. Check out the full story here: Building Pigeon Secure Notes in Under 15 Minutes of Coding.
I hope my experiences inspire you to experiment with new tools and approaches in your projects. If you find the post enlightening or think it might help others, please feel free to forward it to your peers. Let's spread the knowledge and help each other grow in this fast-evolving field of technology.
Happy coding and learning!
Best,
Eric
