I wrote about how AI heavily shaped that development process on <a href="https://yuvalbloch.com/blog/mira/">my blog</a>, but the most important conclusion from the whole experience is this: small-to-medium app development has become genuinely easy, thanks both to AI and to the modern ecosystem of browser deployment tools and JavaScript libraries.</p>
