About
Cong Le, the developer behind Pocket Grove
I build and maintain Pocket Grove's portfolio of 60 small apps and games for iPhone, iPad and Android, working day to day with AI coding agents such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
What I write about
The developer blog covers how a one-person studio ships many apps with AI: instruction files, verification, recovery when an agent goes wrong, and plain-English explainers of official guidance from Anthropic and OpenAI. Every guide links to its primary sources and labels what is our own practice versus what a vendor documents.
How the studio works
Apps share one native design system and factory of scripts. Agents do much of the implementation and testing; a human still approves every store release. The app catalogue lists everything currently published.
