Built and shipped an iOS app from my phone while traveling Japan

The real stunt here isn't the phrasebook — it's the developer workflow: a never-sleeping Mac + SSH + persistent shells to trigger remote TestFlight builds while living out of a backpack. The app is practical (offline, pre-generated ElevenLabs audio, dynamic-number phrases, JLPT kanji and one‑time IAP), so the demo isn't vaporware — it's a neat example of shipping under extreme constraints rather than a novel product idea.
