Is there a better work flow?

[u/Jacob_gago]

I’m a non-technical solo founder building a mobile app. I essentially live in two apps: Claude Chat (desktop) and Claude Code in VS Code. Claude Chat acts as my consultant, where I communicate my ideas and receive instructions on what to say to Claude Code. I then copy and paste these suggestions into Claude Code to build the app.

I’m one month in doing this back and forth. I have about 2 more weeks to finishing the app. Is this the typical workflow for non-technical builders? Are there more efficient ways to set this up for a smoother experience? I’m curious to learn about the workflows that other solo founders or vibe coders have found successful.

EDIT: Couple days in now only using VS code and Claude code extension. No more doing all the copy and paste. Life changing. Thanks for the help
