From Hungry to Shipped: Building Kivoon Solo with Claude

Event Details

Day 1 on the Isle of Man. Hungry. No clue how to get to McDonald's.

That problem turned into Kivoon — a public transit app for the Island, with timetables, live tracking, and an automated content engine. Built solo, across a few weekends, with Claude as the team.

In this Launchpad talk, Itamar walks through the whole story: spotting the problem (and why his wife kept asking about buses), wrangling the raw public transit data, getting it into an app that actually works, and setting up a marketing engine that posts Reels and blog content on its own.

What you'll see:

How a real, scrappy problem became a shipped product The actual prompts and decisions that moved Kivoon forward How to use Claude as your team — not just an autocomplete The self-improvement loop powering Kivoon, including the real-time vehicle matcher How marketing was automated end-to-end (Reels, blog, the lot) Who's this for? Anyone curious about building solo with AI — founders, developers, students, or anyone who's ever wondered whether they could actually ship the thing in their head.

Who is Itamar Bareket? Itamar is an Isle of Man–based builder and the creator of Kivoon, a public transit app with timetables, live tracking, and an automated content engine — built solo over a handful of weekends. Itamar is also the CTO of MobiMatter.
