I Built a Website at the Playground: The Reality of AI-Native Development
Building a functional website used to take days. Now it can be done from a playground while pushing the swings. Here is how I built a gift wishlist app with Claude in minutes.

It sounds like fiction, but I'm building functional websites while taking a walk. Last Sunday, I was at the playground with my son. While he was playing, I started thinking about a problem: relatives never know what gifts to give kids, and we end up with duplicate books or toys. I wanted a curated, live wishlist where we could mark what we already have and what we recommend. I casually told Claude what I needed. I named a few authors and book titles. Claude built a beautiful website, found reference cover images, added a "have it" marker, and deployed the whole thing to Netlify. All of this happened while I was pushing the swings. It wasn't just a mock-up or a document—it was a fully functional, live website. The barrier between "idea" and "production" is officially gone.
