Full Membership — $79 a month

The full video course, and me with it.

The Studio is free. This adds a members' call with me every week, the full video course, and me on the other end of the line — for when it breaks and you can't tell whose fault it is.

You send it to me, and your message goes to the front of my queue. I answer you myself, in your own thread, with your screenshots in front of me.

Your thread

Tuesday

The production build has failed twice now. Claude keeps changing the same file back and forth. I've attached the log — I don't know what I'm looking at.

That's not your code — it's the bundle identifier. It's set in two places and they disagree, so the build is signing against the wrong one. Fix the one in app.json and stop Claude touching it. Send me the next log if it argues.

Message John…

One thread, inside the Studio. Code, screenshots and half-finished thoughts all welcome.

01 · The course

Everything in the course, first

This plan opens the full video course, with its lessons — the path from an empty folder to a listing in both stores, built on the production templates rather than the cut-down free ones.

  • 01 The full video course: nineteen lessons to both stores, plus ten optional detours
  • 02 Production templates — a real app, a real backend, a real database
  • 03 Lessons that do the setup with you, on your own machine

02 · Messaging

And then there's me

The hard part of having someone to ask isn't the asking — it's deciding your question is worth their time. So here's what people actually bring me, in their own words. If yours looks like any of these, it's worth sending.

Every one of them lands in the same place: your thread with me. Nobody has ever sent me a dumb error.

When you're stuck

The unglamorous stuff that eats evenings.

  • I have an error I can't get past
  • Claude and I are going in circles
  • My environment won't behave

Judgement calls

The things an AI can't decide for you.

  • Sense-check your plan
  • Is what the AI built actually any good?
  • I have doubts about my architecture
  • Help me choose between two options

Momentum

For the weeks when the app goes quiet.

  • I've drifted and I want back in
  • My scope is getting away from me
  • I'm not sure what to build next

The business end

Where the app becomes a product.

  • Is my app ready for the stores?
  • Payments, pricing, making money

Anyone with a free account can message me. As a member, your messages come first in my queue.

03 · Live

Some of it is better out loud

Two things in this plan happen on a call rather than in writing, because they're faster that way.

Members only

A members' call with me, every week

Every week, straight after the live Q&A, there's a small group call that's just for members, where we go round what everyone's building, the questions that have come up and what to do next, and I'll point you in the right direction on yours. Please sign up for it in the Studio at least half an hour before it starts, and I'll email you the link to the call.

Free account

The weekly live Q&A

Every week there's also a live Q&A on Google Meet that anyone with a free account can join, where you can ask me anything about your app, the stores, the code or the business, or just listen to what everyone else is building. The same goes for it: please sign up at least half an hour before it starts.

04 · The honest bit

When this is the wrong plan

This is the right tier if you're occasionally stuck: building under your own steam, hitting a wall every week or so, and wanting someone who has been there to look at it.

If you're stuck most days and want someone keeping you moving every week until it's done, a message and a weekly call might not be enough on their own, and that's what the cohort is for: a structured six weeks in a small group, a goal every week, two live calls with me every week, and your app submitted to the App Store and Google Play by the end. It's $499, and you apply for it from inside the Studio.

And I'm not building it for you. I'll unstick you, review what the AI wrote, and tell you when you're about to waste a fortnight — but the app is yours to build. If you'd rather hand the whole thing over, that's Studio Builds.

05 · The price

USD $79 /month

A members' call with me every week, the full video course, and priority messaging.
