Last week, I had an idea. A simple one: a platform where anyone can create battles - silly debates like "100 ducks vs 1 horse" or serious ones like "iOS vs Android".
There's just one problem. I don't know how to code.
So I tried something different. I used Claude AI to build the entire thing.
2 days later, ClashMash was live - a voting battle platform with 25 battles, 13 users, and a lot of bugs.
It's raw. It's simple. And it's my first public project ever.
I'm launching it on Product Hunt tomorrow (July 3). If you're curious, here's the link:

I'd love to hear your honest feedback - what's broken, what's cool, what's missing.
Let's see where this goes. 🚀

Really cool to see this. A lot of people twice your age never get past the "I can't code" part, and you just went and built the thing. Keep going, you're clearly onto something.
Thank you! Today I'm launching ClashMash on Product Hunt. I hope it goes well!
May I ask for your advice?
I took a look at the site. It's fully client-rendered React, so I couldn't crawl the content itself, but even that surface-level check surfaced things worth fixing. fix the page title (it still says "frontend3") and grab a real domain, vercel.app subdomains hurt trust on Product Hunt. Also add share cards for battles, that's your growth loop right there. I would also ask the AI to check the readability of the completed project, particularly on mobile devices.
Thank you so much (sorry for repeating myself so often-I just can’t find the words to express my gratitude). As for “frontend3,” that’s just what the frontend folder is called. But I’ll change it. I was planning to buy the domain later because I want to make sure the idea works and that people will like it first (I don’t want to waste money), but I checked on GoDaddy and the .com domain for “Clashmash” is available. And I’m going to add a share button (that’ll make it easier to scale). I’ve also checked how it looks on mobile devices (my friends and family have visited the site on their phones, and so far there haven’t been any complaints about the size). For now, I plan to fix one bug (when you scroll through looking for new battles, the page automatically refreshes at the bottom, which sends you back to the top, and you have to start scrolling from scratch again to find the battle you want-it’s really annoying) and add images instead of just plain text (for example, if the debate is “Messi vs. Ronaldo,” there’ll be a photo of Ronaldo above his name and a photo of Messi above Messi’s-after all, people process images better than text) and then add a Share button. And thanks again for your feedback! It’s been a huge help!
