The Mall Build

I'm a serial founder. I built, or co-built, BIP (one of Sweden's first ISPs), Viewserve (acquired by Hexagon), and TipTapp. But Vibe Walk might be the strangest build of my career—because I built most of it without sitting at my desk.

Sweden has become a hotbed for AI coding tools—Lovable, Cursor, and now Vibe Walk. There's something in the Nordic water about efficiency, apparently.

It started as a necessity. I wanted to code with Claude Code but couldn't always be at my computer. So I built a Telegram bot that connects to Claude Code running on my Mac. The irony? I ended up building the tool itself using the tool.

85% of Vibe Walk was built from my phone. Honestly, it would have been closer to 100% if I hadn't needed to build the core functionality first—before the tool existed to build itself with. Once the basics were in place, I rarely touched my desk. Real features, real deployments. I've shipped code from the mall while walking with my daughter. From the grocery store. The tennis court. The cinema. Walking the dogs. In bed. The bathroom. While cooking. Out at bars. Traffic.

Today I was at the mall with my daughter when I decided to add build notifications—so I'd get a Telegram message whenever a release succeeds or fails. I wrote the API endpoint, updated the build script, tested it, and deployed—all while she was looking at clothes. Using Claude Code from my phone has become second nature.

The meta part still amuses me: a tool for coding from your phone, built almost entirely from a phone. That's not a gimmick—it's proof that Claude Code mobile access actually works. My Mac at home runs Claude Code, and Telegram is my interface to it. The location doesn't matter anymore.

If you'd told me ten years ago I'd ship production code from a bathroom, I'd have laughed. Now it's just Tuesday.
