40 days ago, I decided to start growing on Contra from zero and document the whole journey publicly π«Άβ€οΈπ. And now weβre here:
πππ² ππ π π¨π π¦π² ππ‘ππ₯π₯ππ§π π ππ¨ π«ππππ‘ π,πππ ππ¨π₯π₯π¨π°ππ«π¬
So much has already happened. In these 40 days, Iβve already managed to:
β
reach 156 / 1,000 followers
β
get my first contract
β
get featured on the Contra homepage
β
get into Community Favorites
β
participate in 2 Contra challenges #CapCutDesignStudio Challenge & #stitchchallenge
β
make it into the Top 10% of creatives on Contra
Not bad for the first 40 days, right? π
Iβm still far from the final goal, but this already feels like proof that showing up consistently works.

Wild how much skill went into this.

Imagine having a conversation with Buddha, Marcus Aurelius, Frida Kahlo.. πEven as a fun thought experiment.. how cool is that?
Here's how I brought this idea to life with Stitch:
1. Drafted a rough screen structure in Figma;
2. Fed the .fig file to Stitch and asked it to design the app;
3. Tried different colour themes directly in the Design System;
4. One click generated multiple Welcome screen variations to choose from;
5. One click animated the screens;
6. Tweaked the design through direct prompts;
7. Dropped all screens into Prototype and Stitch connected the screens automatically.
What used to take days or even weeks, Stitch now does in minutes.
It's truly up to our imagination now.. β¨
nice work~
For this challenge I built a mobile app calledΒ Field Signal, a field intelligence prototype for commercial real estate site visits.
It helps an investor or broker capture signals like visibility, access, tenant condition, and risk, then turns those observations into a live deal pulse and structured field memo.
How I used Stitch: I started in Google Stitch with streaming generation, used in place edits to refine the product flow and motion, and used a DESIGN.md file I prepared to keep the visual system tight across screens before pushing it into a live prototype through Google AI Studio.
Feedback: Stitch felt strongest as an iterative design partner. Streaming and in-place edits made it fast to move from concept to something that actually felt alive and interactive. Super useful & excited to see how this tool integrates with the creative process going forward!
Wow, this is so nice!
