Designed and prototyped Casa Jakab Toffler website concept with Stitch. The website aims to be an archive and digital storage of the initiatives and insights created by a local community. As it stood out as a more experimental project, I wanted to try new tools to explore more creative approaches to a simple presentation website. So, I gave Stitch a try and managed to visualise one of the ideas I had for the layout and structure. Described my high level process in the loom video. Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/41e3fc7ae23e4dfaa14345c3e7d9600c Prototype: https://stitch.withgoogle.com/preview/16300917667391821243?node-id=753c0bb3d1fd4bcc8d56a94b1464d198&raw=1 **Feedback on the platform** Pros: - visual canvas leverages the existing mental model of designing - the ethos that help keep consistency across variations - being able to use PRDs before creating - easy to use prototype mode - nice to have: export to other tools - switching between viewports to adjust layout (desktop, tablet, mobile) Cons: - visual canvas is limited in what edits can be done directly, pretty frustrating that i need to prompt in order to change a size, add a border, or delete a line on the page - hard to click through and target the exact element i need to edit - hard to create a mental model of how to use the different features for better output - sometimes annotate worked for changes (small and considerable), sometimes for the smallest change I needed to use edit with AI - not predictable when changes requested to a screen would trigger the generation of a new one. also unsure if the behaviour and all the elements would be kept in place - because all edits are done by prompting, it also changes elements that I don't want to - direct edits to text were rarely saving - even with the ethos, hard to keep consistency of the elements, very cumbersome to prompt to reuse an element from a different frame - hard to figure out what to prototype by prompting and what to connect in prototype mode Even if the list of cons is long, the experience exceeded my expectations. The output was good enough that I eventually decided to enter the challenge. ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐ŸŽ‰

Genuinely canโ€™t pick a single thing that isnโ€™t perfect here.

Really appreciate how detailed and balanced your feedback is. I found myself agreeing with a lot of the points around consistency and targeted edits. Still pretty impressive how far you were able to push an experimental concept with it.
I explored a different direction in my...
