Project Link: Fondly
So, I've always had this issue: I don't know what to give my friends that they'll genuinely like. I also never know what to say when people ask what to give me.
The problem isn't the gifts themselves: it's the loss of a nice surprise. Wishlists take the surprise away, and saving my own gift ideas in Excel sheets takes it away too. I didn't know how to keep track. So, I built Fondly.
It sends you random suggestions: it could be a friend asking, or the app just trying to get your vibe. You never know! You can also add gifts for yourself or a friend into Vaults. Vaults remain unseen, only when it's for someone else do you get to use it to find the perfect gift.
It's basically using a recommendation algorithm, but instead of downright selling things, it's about surprises! A surprise could be bought, made by hand, or just spending time together. It preserves that moment of giving someone exactly what they want, and that shared, happy surprise.
The workflow:
Brainstorm with ChatGPT and Claude > Despair > Design with Canva > First Draft > Iteration > Find out I could have edited manually instead of wasting my messages > Final Draft!
Enjoy (the surprise)! 😄
I like the app! Did you transfer the designs from Canva to Flowstep?
Built an Applicaition name as Drift - Let's you draw your mood, and it translates that visually texture in curated sonic environment + ambient sounds + captures whatever you write in that headspace as a "memory fragment" - 27 Main Screens + 7 Extra Screens.
Connected @Flowstep MCP with Claude Desktop generated every screens with prompts directly on Canvas. Not any Figma addition.
Here's the Design Claude used using MCP -
Color: Background #0A0A0F (near-black with a blue undertone). Accent: a single shifting color per session — start with #C8A97E (warm amber-gold) for calm moods, #7B68EE (electric violet) for restless states. Muted tone: #2A2A35. Text: #F0EDE6 (warm off-white, never pure white). The accent color is the only thing that changes across screens — it carries the emotional state through the entire flow.
Typography: Display headers in a humanist serif (Cormorant Garamond or similar) at 48-72px — these are emotional, poetic labels. UI elements and labels in Inter or DM Sans, ultra-light weight, all-caps, tracked out at 0.15em. Monospace (JetBrains Mono) only for timestamps and technical metadata.
What NOT to do: No glassmorphism. No gradient orbs. No floating cards with drop shadows. No rounded pill buttons. Hard-edged UI components only. The "softness" comes from the mood drawings themselves, not the chrome.
Interaction to wire: Drawing on canvas → emotion label updates in real time. Tapping a soundscape card → waveform animates. Scrolling the weekly map → nodes pulse gently. Each screen transition is a slow dissolve, never a slide.
Terra - one hidden place on Earth, every day.
I've always loved Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Whenever there was a question about a place I'd never heard of, I'd think, "How have I never heard of this?"
So I built Terra.
Every morning, it reveals one hidden place, its story, why it matters, and what makes it special. If you ever visit, you'll already know what you're looking at. And yes, there's a daily geography quiz—that's where the idea began.
Guess the place, earn XP, build your streak, and collect discoveries in a rarity-based Passport—a Pokédex for Earth's hidden places.
I designed the entire app in Flowstep, mostly through its MCP server from Claude Code. I'd prompt changes from the terminal and watch the canvas update live, making it easy to iterate before writing production code. The result: 14 screens with one dark, earthy, cinematic design system.
Love this!
