Build Our First App
Everyone is going to individually create the same flashcard quiz app that does the basic functionality below.
- Hardcoded set of flashcards (subject of their choice — vocab, math facts, anything)
- Show one question at a time, click/tap to flip and reveal the answer
- “Next card” button to cycle through the deck
- Optional: a flip animation — cheap for Claude Code to add, makes it feel more polished than an hour of prompting “should”
- No score, no categories, no saving progress yet.
Here’s the prompt to type into Terminal or Powershell:
“Build me a flashcard quiz web app. It should show one flashcard at a time with a question, let me click to flip and see the answer, and have a button to go to the next card. Use these cards: [your own list of 8-10 Q&A pairs].”
So, come up with at least 8 cards to do flashcards with – maybe more if you are feeling spicy.
