All three started as spreadsheets I'd been using for months or years. Now they have proper UIs and additional features. Why the upgrade? AI made it possible 🥰 But here's what I learned:

I approached each project with different levels of "vibe coding." For Fintrack, I wrote most code myself or carefully reviewed every line. I wanted to understand exactly where data is stored and how it flows through the system (for obvious reasons 😅).

For Pumpel, I ran a pure conversation experiment: How far could I get without even looking at the code? And yes, it works. But I don't like it. Worse, adding new features through prompting gets progressively harder.
