Built Placeprint for the @flowstep_ai #FlowstepChallenge a journaling app for remembering places by how they felt, not just where they were.
Log a place, tag the mood, who you were with, what you had and Placeprint builds your personal "taste map" over time, surfacing the pattern in what actually makes a place feel right to you.
7 screens, fully wired: home → memory capture → memory detail → taste map → dark reveal → recommendations tailored to your pattern.
Built entirely in Flowstep, with Cursor + Flowstep MCP wiring the screens and navigation directly from the editor.

The taste map gives the journal a reason to get better over time. I'd make the first few entries useful on their own, before there is enough history to recommend anything.
Meet Tally — a calm cashflow app for freelancers who juggle overdue invoices across multiple clients. Built the Home screen and Invoice Detail flow entirely in Flowstep: warm off-white palette, terracotta accents only on key actions, and real client data instead of placeholder content.
Prompted it screen-by-screen, wired the client cards to link straight into invoice details, and refined the color rules until it felt calm instead of "spreadsheet-y."

Title: Podium — a season library tool for orchestra librarians
Tagline: The internal tool orchestras don't have: tracking parts, bowings, and distribution for an entire season, in one place.
Description:
Every orchestra has a librarian quietly keeping the whole operation running — tracking which parts are rented vs. owned, whether the bowings are marked before rehearsal, and who currently has which stand's music sitting on their stand. Right now that job runs on spreadsheets, paper checklists, and institutional memory. I wanted to see what a purpose-built tool for that role could look like.
Podium is a 4-screen prototype covering the full workflow: a season library view showing every work in rotation with its parts-prep status at a glance, a score detail view breaking that down section by section, a prep checklist for marking up bowings stand by stand with a live progress counter, and a distribution screen for tracking which musician has which part and when it's due back.
I built it in Flowstep, aiming for something closer to a rare-book catalog than a typical SaaS dashboard — warm paper background, a single brass accent, serif for the repertoire, monospace for every number. It's a niche profession nobody else was likely to design for, which is exactly why I wanted to build it.
