I built a desktop image editor in five weeks with Claude Code

Описание и применение

Scumble – это открытый редактор изображений, созданный за пять недель с помощью Claude Code. Автор описывает процесс планирования, генерации кода, тестирования и выпуска, а также решения, связанные с браузерными ошибками и публикацией в Microsoft Store.

Задача

Developing a feature‑rich desktop AI image editor quickly while managing code generation, testing, and release logistics.

Результат

Scumble achieved production‑ready performance and stability in five weeks, with a robust testing strategy, clear decision tracking, and a streamlined release process.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Define project scope and decisions in CLAUDE.md
• 2. Use Claude Code to generate code for ComfyUI node and desktop app
• 3. Iterate with short, numbered plan steps and commit notes
• 4. Write tests against the real app using gate runner
• 5. Run sub‑agents for building, testing, and skepticism
• 6. Fix browser‑related bugs identified in traps list
• 7. Prepare releases with changelog and CI builds
• 8. Publish via Microsoft Store, GitHub installer, AppImage, and .deb

Доказательства

I didn't type most of that code. Claude Code did.

Tests against the real app, by risk. Unit tests weren't enough for an editor whose bugs live in the GPU and the compositor.
