About ​

I'm Richard Osborne. I'm the main developer of NodeGX, and I build apps with Claude for a living. I wrote this guide so you can do it too.

Me ​

I came to software the long way round: spreadsheets, then no-code tools, then building with AI. That's why this guide assumes nothing and explains the words as it goes.

I build apps for clients, and I teach founders and teams to build and look after their own. Everything in this guide comes from real projects. When something stops working for me, the guide changes.

NodeGX ​

NodeGX is a free, open-source visual app builder. It is made by the Low Code Foundation, a French non-profit, and it grew out of Noodl, which closed in 2024.

I work on NodeGX because of what it gives you when Claude builds your app. You get an app you can open, read and change yourself, not a pile of code that only Claude understands. What NodeGX does for you explains how.

Help from me ​

If you'd rather not do this alone, I can help. That might mean looking at your idea before you start, getting your first app built properly, or getting you unstuck.

Start with a discovery call. We talk about your app and work out the right first step.

Talk to me about your app: where you are, where you're stuck, and what would help.

Digital Bricks ​

Digital Bricks is my company. It's where the client work and the training happen.

Where this guide came from ​

This guide started as a general guide to building apps with Claude, written with the Low Code Foundation and Visual Hive, where I was CTO. This version is rewritten for building with Claude and NodeGX. I wrote it with Claude, using the method it describes.
