Inspiration
I wanted to try Claude to create an app from scratch and document it all in X. The idea came from a list of ideas that Claude made, and after some research in Astro (ASO tool), I found good keywords for this app. That was the reason why I choose this idea.
What it does
Is a list of bedtime stories for kids. All the stories are audio, so the parents can just leave the iOS device reproducing the stories for their kids. I started with 20 books, but plan to add more books in monthly basis.
How we built it
I used SwiftUI to build the app. With the help of Claude to make the UI and the Audio logic, I managed to finished it really quick. For the audios I used a TTS model in Python, generating them all locally in my machine. For the Books covers, I used Microsoft Copilot, that uses DALL E to generate images.
Challenges we ran into
The challenge that I run into was generating the audios, I evaluate three alternatives, ElevenLabs (High pricing), OpenAI API (easy but I had to pay to generate the audios) and the TTS model in Python (Free). The challenge was to investigate and learn how to use the TTS model in Python, as Python is not my main language.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Start writing my progress in X, meeting really nice people on the road.
What we learned
I learn how to ship fast using AI to help me in the road.
What's next for Bedtime Stories - TinyTales
My plan is to add more books to the library, and in a future release, make the books interactive with more images so the kids can have more fun.
