Today I streamed [my first video on Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2246733442?ref=ashryan.io), showing how to use Anthropic’s Claude.ai and Val Town to ship a small frontend web app.

The video walks through the process of coaching an LLM-based chat app to write frontend React code, including how to nudge the AI over time to improve the app, and how to have the AI nudge you in return.

I also talk about when to consider threading your chats based on subject matter. In this example, I started a new chat to specifically work on using the Web Audio API for sound synthesis.

After that, I use Val Town (including its own AI bot “Townie”) to deploy the generated web component via a serverless function.

Hope someone finds this useful!
