  "account": "Two weeks ago, the app KODA appeared cluttered, with 17 interactive buttons cluttering its 6.7-inch screen. Users struggled to locate features amidst the chaos. The author decided to simplify the interface, removing buttons and consolidating them into a single drawer. This \"Zen Dojo Pivot\" (v15.2) resulted in a cleaner, more focused user experience.\n\nThe author added new features, including a \"+ New Chat\" button, a \"Code Vault\" for saving AI-generated content, and a \"My Growth\" section with streaks and ranks. The app also introduced a geometry lab tool with real formulas for constructing shapes.\n\nThe author challenged frontier AI systems with the most difficult tasks in their respective specialties. Each AI system achieved a perfect score (6/6) on the tests, which included constitutional self-checks, prompt injection defense, and real-time telemetry. The author designed these tests with the AIs themselves, ensuring the scores were genuine.\n\nThe author also welcomed feedback from senior developers across four continents, who helped identify and fix issues. The app now has 15 live users, with the author and four friends/family members contributing to the growth dashboard. Looking ahead, the author plans to implement fallback models for users in China, open-source the app on GitHub, and crown the Code Jam winner on September 4th.",
