How To Build An App With Replit: You're the Product Manager. The AI Is Your Engineer.

Jocelyn Greenlee was gifted three chickens and had nowhere to put them. Raccoons in the neighbourhood, no coop for sale anywhere, and every DIY plan she found was more complicated than she could pull off. So she pulled her car over on the side of the road and decided to build an app instead.Two days later she had something that worked. A few weeks after that, Bildara was live on the App Store — snap a photo, get the materials, measurements, shopping list and safety notes.She has no coding background. She works in SEO by day. In this episode she walks through how she thinks about it: you're the product manager, the AI is your engineer. You describe what you want, it builds, you tell it what's broken.We get into the parts that broke, the App Store rejection she fixed in fifteen minutes, why she stopped waiting for the logo to be perfect, and the thing she says surprised her most — not the app, but what shipping it did to her confidence.The chickens are fine. They love the coop.You can find Buildara on the App Store.
