The next thing, I'm glad you actually brought up the mascots and the illustration because that is going to be the next thing we're going to talk about to make it really feel like a more premium and just a different app.
But two more examples on the animations interactions.
In the calorie tracking app that I'm building, another thing that I added was this streaks feature.
So this is where you can build a habit.
Gamification exists in Duolingo, even in Snapchat, in a lot of different apps.
Gamification is a very powerful way to build habits and increase retention.
I decided to actually add a streaks feature here.
And then for fun, a little...
badge that you can actually unlock as you start increasing your streak.
And these were hand-drawn by my fiance, so very fortunate.
But I'll also show you how to make mascots like this using AI, because that's what I was doing originally.
But something that I coded, which a lot of people were surprised that I didn't write a single line of code for this, was when you unlock the badge, you can actually click it, and they're based off of cat memes, but you can actually drag along, it's like a holographic sticker type thing,
It's kind of based off of Pokemon or just these holographic stickers that you can unlock there.
This was completely done by Cloud Code as well.
And all I did was tell it, can you recreate a kind of holographic sticker where I can move my finger around and I can drag along the sticker.
I was so surprised that it was able to get this in, I think, two prompts.
Again, because Claude is very well-trained on Apple's technology.
This was using something called Swift Metal, but it is very well-trained on this.
It can make these really cool interactions, but I just don't see a lot of people doing it, which surprises me.
I think people assume that it can't get it because this stuff does look very complex, but if you know how to say it, if you know how to break it down in plain English...
