“I went through every single existing app looked through all the reviews of the things like what do people like what do they not like what do they wish they had... take all that and give it to Claude or Chat GBT and have them come up with your app idea so that you have at least a foundation of what you want to build”

Mine every competitor App Store review through Claude as your v1 spec

Before you write code, scrape every review from the 3-5 closest competitor apps and dump it into Claude with three explicit prompts: what users praise, what they complain about, and what features they wish existed. The wish-list bucket is your differentiated v1 spec — the market has already told you in writing what to build. Pat references another founder who applied the same loop (reviews + Stripe cancellation reasons + support tickets) and grew 350% after the rebuild.
