It came about as I was really struggling to find any commercial software to
do what we needed. I’m sure we could have done it simply from a spreadsheet
but I wanted something a little more interactive and graphical.

It started off just getting Claude to generate these directly from the csv,
but by the time I’d done a couple of them it made sense to get it into a
simple program. All told it’s about half a day of work. Claude did all the
program architecture, wrote all the code, wrote the docs, managed the repo
and pushed to my GitHub.

Force….multiplier
