1) Xcode + Cursor: The power combo for iOS app prototyping
• Xcode for iOS simulation
• Cursor for code generation
• Setup in minutes, not hours
• Deploy to your phone for real-world testing
Ideal for non-coders to bring ideas to life FAST.
2) iOS is easier than Web for early prototyping?
• More tangible & fun to use
• Easy to share via TestFlight
• Faster to set up than web apps
• Local storage = no need for complex backends
BUT: App Store approval can be a pain later on.
3) V0: The next-gen wireframing tool
• Create entire app flows quickly
• Fork pages to iterate on designs
• Share public links for feedback
• Use placeholders for dynamic content
Perfect for communicating your vision to developers.
4) Gamification in writing tools = 💎
• Track streaks & stats
• Connect writing to video content
• Map the creative process
• Reverse engineer successful content
Potential multi-billion dollar opportunity here!
