A practical system for busy dads with an app idea and little time. Test the idea, build safely with AI, and ship a useful first version. Five video modules and three starter templates are live in the member hub.

You have an app idea and maybe 45 minutes after the kids are asleep. You open an AI coding tool, hit something confusing, and the idea goes back on the shelf. I have two kids. I know what that window feels like.
This system gives you a small next step instead of a four-hour tutorial. You do not need to become a software engineer. You do need to make decisions, check the AI’s work, and keep moving in small pieces.
Your first 45-minute session starts with the App Idea Filter. The goal is one idea worth testing and a clear next action—not a finished app by tomorrow.

Start with three templates. All five course modules are now live in the hub.
Module 1 — Is this idea worth it?
Find one person with a real problem and test for a real yes before you build.
Module 2 — The smallest useful version
Cut your app idea down to one useful first version.
Module 3 — Set up without the panic
Set up Codex and GitHub so your project is private, backed up, and ready to build.
Module 4 — Build in the margins
Build one small thing at a time, review the AI's work, and save a version that works.

I am a dad of two who learned to build with AI after bedtime and during nap times. Early on I made bad commits, broke features, and started over. The calmer workflow came from those mistakes: test the idea first, give the AI clear context, make small changes, and keep a working version you can return to.
Followrs—the storefront you are on—is what I built with that approach. It is currently at $114 in monthly recurring revenue, as of September 2026. My tool stack costs about $180 a month. Those are my real numbers, not a promise about what your app will earn.
This course walks you through the same decisions and habits so you can make progress in the time you actually have.

Followrs at $114 MRR in July 2026. Current MRR: $114 as of September 2026.
All five video modules and three starter templates are live in the Founding Member Hub. The larger prompt vault is coming later; it is not available yet.
You do not need to be a professional engineer. You will need to make decisions, follow the steps, and check the AI’s work.
The lessons are made for short sessions. Start with one clear action, then pick up where you left off.
No. Work through the videos and templates on your own schedule.
My current tool stack is about $180 a month. Your cost depends on the tools, plans, and usage you choose.
Go through the course and use the templates. If you do not feel like you have a clearer path to shipping your app, email me within 14 days and I will refund you. No forms, no explanation required, no hard feelings.
$57 once. Five modules and three starter templates available now.
