I am wrapping up development and preparing to release my new mobile app SubRadar. The time arrived to put a Web site together.
Now I could have gone two ways
Be the engineer in me and over work the problem with lots of good things that I'll never really need
Keep it simple as a product site and move on
Yep, I chose number 2 this time around. All it needs is a simple HTML + CSS site to show the app and provide a contact form.
This also gave me an opportunity to embrace AI for getting the mundane layout done and then tweak by hand. So that's what I did using Claude Code. Something I've come to appreciate for sanity checking my work when things go wrong.
The end result I think was pleasing and after a couple of days of refining the code and making it look the way I wanted, I now have a product site that just needs some videos worked.
The lesson here is that I needed this done, I have the skills to do it but recognize that my time is better spent focused on getting the app done rather than the tasks I've done a 1000 times before.
Something for us all to think about as we love/hate AI and those tasks we'd rather not repeat over and over.
Take a look, I'm happy with it SubRadar.app
