Sharing our latest landing page exploration for an art and culture platform inspired by editorial design and visual storytelling.

We explored a balance between classic aesthetics, bold typography, and smooth motion in Jitter to create a more expressive browsing experience.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the overall direction and animation.

Reinventing the wheel 🛞 for Google.

Designed with Google Stitch for all platforms Desktop, Mobile, and Tablets.

I’m a engineer and founder with tech experience but not design, and going into this challenge, my real question was simple: Can an AI-native interface builder actually handle deep-time narrative storytelling and high-fidelity, scroll-linked interactions without turning into a complete mess?

To stress test the absolute limits of the platform, I didn't feed it an established design, or any files right away. I wanted to see exactly how Stitch thinks, handles design drift, and iterates from scratch. I gave it a massive, conceptually complex prompt: Build a highly cinematic, ultra-polished, deep-time historical timeline mapping the evolution of the wheel, from primitive Mesopotamian stone discs to active, computational morphing hub systems in 2026.

How Stitch Fit into the Workflow

The streaming generation on the canvas is easily one of the most hypnotic interactions I've seen in a design tool. It genuinely feels like watching a remote design partner building on your screen through AnyDesk. Instead of staring at a loading spinner and waiting for a static layout, I was reacting to a living interface taking shape in real time.

Instead of keeping things static, I ended up executing three distinct modes across this project to see how Stitch adapts to different workflow mindsets:

I pushed a light but descriptive prompt system to build out a strict, zero-color, high-contrast monochrome design philosophy titled "Liquid Slate." Stitch completely conquered the blank page problem, mapping out an editorial-style landing page with absolute black layouts and deep-etched glass elements.

The Codebase Sync via Antigravity (The Engineering Bridge) is where it killed it, To see if this could handle a real-world production loop, I leveraged the new MCP skills. I imported stitch into Antigravity straight from Stitch's HTML native canvas, synced those changes, and published a React Website in Minutes to Netlify which was bug free and ready for a Run.

The motion authoring surprised me the most. I didn't have to jump out into a secondary motion app or wrestle with standard transition bugs, the native hover states, custom text blur modules (BlurInText), and smooth continuous wheel rotations were all handled seamlessly on the HTML canvas before exporting the build.

New Features I Leaned On

Streaming generations to canvas: Watched the entire layout materialize and iterated on components before they were even finished rendering.

In-place AI edits via prompts + point-and-click: Controlled fine-grain text styles and layout spacing directly on the artboard. Redesign : Got the same design in 3 colours, just wow.

Native motion, hover states, and shaders on HTML canvas: Authored complex scroll-linked component rotations and aesthetics.

Antigravity Code Integration via MCP: Ran a perfect, bi-directional round-trip sync between my code editor and the visual design canvas.

MCP Export: One-click, zero-friction final production deployment.

Feedback on the Platform

Google Stitch shifts the entire AI design paradigm because it collapses the classic "describe, wait, judge, re-prompt" delay loop into an interaction that feels like direct manipulation. In-place edits genuinely feel like real design work.

Two things I'd love to see in future updates: Option to upload/generate videos: it makes it easier for a designer to have their backdrop beautiful just by adding or generating a video which Stitch can definitely add beautifully.

A way to save a specific in-place edit style (like the exact blur, noise, and border-radius of my "Liquid Slate" glass cards) into a recipe that I can reapply to other sections instantly without describing it again.

Stitch doesn't feel like an AI platform you have to constantly fight against, it feels like a living, interactive canvas that intuitively understands structural design system logic.

Wow, Ashish, this is a masterpiece of a stress test! Mapping something as conceptually complex as a deep-time historical timeline for the wheel from scratch is brilliant, and the "Liquid Slate" monochrome aesthetic looks incredibly premium.

Stunning execution! I also just...
