A developer shared their journey of building and launching a web app and Chrome extension solo in 2025, utilizing AI tools for various tasks.
The developer, with a background in Java backend engineering, used AI tools like ChatGPT to assist with frontend, UI, DevOps, and Chrome APIs.
The product was built entirely solo, with backend developed in Spring Boot, frontend using Vue.js, and a Chrome extension created from scratch with AI assistance.
By leveraging AI, the developer was able to streamline DevOps processes, deploy on AWS, Dockerize components, and complete tasks in a shorter time frame than before.
