Build 1.0
Deciding on the Tech Stack
I decide to build the project solo and spend the week testing various tools
This part took a while but after many conversations with my developer partner and various LLMs, I now have a tech stack.
The main decision is I will be building an iOS app with Swift. Since I already have experience building apps for Apple, this was the most logical choice.
I already created a PRD with Gemini and started building the architecture with Antigravity IDE. This will be my main vibe coding tool but I intend to switch to Codex and Cursor when needed. I also tested Bitrig, which is fantastic but I don't think I need it until after I ship the project.
I tested a few design tools but I quickly returned to Figma. I actually enjoy the design process more than any part of building so I will give myself the time to get nerdy about details and design core screens the old school way. I am however getting inspiration from x1 about the flow.
I will build the voice agents with Elevenlabs. I have been wanting to create something with their API since I attended Cansu Akarsu's talk at Even Founders Startup School. I think the realism and voice sentiment are amazing and I simply couldn't find another product that matches the quality.
For in app payments I will use Revenuecat and for the marketing, I don't have any plans but to build a landing page with Framer and create a waiting list using Brevo.
I am still discovering new tools and evaluating how they can fit in this product, but for know these are the foundations.
