Lexicon — Advanced Vocabulary Quiz App
Built entirely using Claude as my AI development partner, without writing a single line of code manually.
I started by prompting Claude to act as both a full-stack developer and an English lexicographer. I described the data structure I needed — a JavaScript array of 50 vocabulary objects with definitions, multiple-choice options, use cases, and synonym replacements — and Claude generated the entire dataset in one shot, schema-compliant and ready to plug in.
From there, I asked Claude to wrap everything into a production-ready standalone HTML file. It designed the full UI from scratch — dark editorial theme, gold typography, animated progress bar, streak scoring, and a results screen with grade rankings — all in a single self-contained file I could open directly in any browser.
The entire project, from data to deployed app, was built through natural language conversation. No IDE, no Stack Overflow, no manual debugging. Just clear prompts and iteration.
