My first month
building with Claude Code.
One person. No dev team. About four weeks. Here's everything that got shipped, zipped, and backed up — the actual receipts. This is a living build-in-public scorecard: I update it at the end of every month as the build continues.

A catalogue that will feed eight months of weekly launches — built in one month on Claude Code. At one launch a week, this would normally take the better part of a year. Each is a full funnel (front-end + OTOs) at the same low-cost price points, every funnel built to grow the buyers list. The weekly launches are rolling out live on the blog as a build-in-public case study.

anthonyhayes.io — new TLD, new stack. Hosting + WP-CLI automation, a content-depth framework, the build-in-public blog, and the whole free-tools embed system.
None of this needed a development team.
One operator, a set of ideas, and Claude Code — turning "I wish there was a tool that…" into shipped products in days, not months. The bottleneck stopped being can I build it and became what should I build next.
That shift is the whole point — and it's what the Evergreen workshop is about.
