I challenged myself to stop vibe-coding UI from scratch and actually research first.
Used Mobbin to study how the world’s best apps handle hierarchy and feel. Then I rebuilt Trace informed by those patterns.
The result?
Before: built from scratch, no references. Functional. Stiff. After: same app, real research behind every decision. Completely different energy.
The lesson: Study the best, then build something better. Every time.
Trace is a creative companion for those landing in a new city. It’s designed to turn the "to-do list" of moving into a series of meaningful quests, marked by tactile interactions and high-end visual storytelling.
