Just about every line of code for this was written by Claude 3.7 via Claude Code. I never gave the other AI development tools like Cursor and Aider a fair shake so I may have just been behind the times on what's possible with agentic editors, but I found Claude Code to be extremely impressive. The API costs did end up being something around $15 though and this is a really small project, so I imagine cost goes up quite a bit to do any non-trivial work on a project of a decent size
This was great for me though because this is something I've had in mind for a while but never considered quite useful enough to be worth the time it'd take to learn about IntelliJ plugin development + the Java AWT knowledge required to create a canvas app like this
