I think I sent that to you on WhatsApp... or was it an email?" If you’ve said that this week, you’re not alone. But that’s usually where growth stalls. When files are in one place, deadlines are in another, and your "status updates" are buried in a group chat, chaos wins.
We built The Portal because we were tired of playing detective. 🔍
It’s one home for your projects where:
✅ A deadline is a real deadline.
✅ The files you need are right where the work happens.
✅ You finally know exactly what’s happening, without the "check-in" fatigue.
Less time hunting for info, more time actually building things. 🚀

I started messing around with a concept for a crossfit app as I've recently switched from strength training to crossfit style workouts.
Concept images from the onboarding using @adamlyttleapps Onboarding Questionnaire skill.
The artwork will be animated and looping on each page.
Experimented a bit today with Krea and image generation for a case study I’m putting together around AI EarPods connected to OpenAI.
The focus has been on creating fashion-forward product imagery and art directing a world that feels specific to the identity, rather than just generating nice-looking AI images.
The trickiest part has been product consistency. Especially getting the EarPods to actually sit snug in the ear. If you’ve worked through this process, you probably know the struggle 😅
Simply telling AI to “make it fit more snug or in the ear” doesn’t always work. It loves to reinterpret the product every time.
Still experimenting, but getting closer. If anyone has found a good workflow for keeping products consistent across AI-generated shoots, I’d love to hear it!

lients don't want to chase updates. They want to see them.
This is Client Process Tracker, part of the system we've been building.
What it does:
Every project moves through clear phases: Planning, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, Completed. Client sees exactly where things stand, always.
Daily/weekly updates get posted right on the portal, no digging through emails.
Design approvals show up as a clear status: pending or approved.
If the client has a question, they comment directly on the project. No separate thread, no lost messages.
We track client activity too: views, last seen, so we know if an update actually got noticed.
Built around how we already work: agile, phase by phase, nothing hidden.
Still building, and this is where you come in. What would make a client portal like this actually useful for you? Would love your ideas
