What I built: Mitti is a cultural commerce platform that reconnects people across India with authentic regional food products from their home states. Built across 9 screens, starting with a "Where are you from?" onboarding moment where users tap their home region on an animated India map, through regional pages for Uttarakhand, Kerala, Assam and Rajasthan, to a cart that shows a living map of where every product in your box comes from.

This isn't an e-commerce app. It's a way to taste home.

I'm from Dehradun. Mandwa ka atta, Pahadi ghee, Buransh juice, I grew up with these. Small farmers in Chamoli and Almora have been producing them for generations. They just had no digital home. Mitti is built for that gap.

How I used Stitch: Every screen was generated using Stitch's streaming generation, I watched each interface materialize in real time and steered it mid-stream before it was done. Used in-place AI edits extensively to refine details without regenerating entire screens. The homepage India map and Find Your Roots onboarding screen use HTML canvas animations, floating spice particles, regional glow pulses, a breathing radial gradient, all generated and iterated through Stitch. Built all 9 screens, connected them into a working prototype, first time on the platform, solo, under 36 hours.

Stitch features used: Streaming generation, in-place AI edits, HTML canvas motion, CSS keyframe animations, prototype linking across 9 screens, SVG particle systems.

Feedback on Stitch: The streaming generation changes how iteration feels, you stop treating AI as a vending machine and start having a conversation with the canvas. Steering mid-generation saved enormous time. In-place edits meant I never had to throw away a screen and start over. The HTML canvas motion capability is genuinely new territory for a design tool, I built animations I'd normally need a developer for.

One improvement: a shared design system defined at project start would help maintain cross-screen consistency when building multi-screen apps. DESIGN.md is powerful but discovering it mid-build means retrofitting.

Key numbers: 9 screens built. 4 regions. 36 hours. Solo build. First time using Stitch. Real startup idea, not just a competition entry.
