Could Claude Design replace your first design sprint?
I tested Claude Design to build a Personal Financial dashboard interactive prototype — starting with nothing but plain language and rough Figma screenshots. Here's my honest take:
✨ What wowed me
The depth of product logic genuinely surprised me. It didn't just lay out components — it thought like a product designer. It generated an insight like "If you increase your monthly contributions by £100, you'd end up with £112K" in the relevant section. Something I hadn't even thought to include.
🟡 The icons and layout felt warm and considered from the very first generation.
🟡 It even brought a lightweight design system: edit/set your fonts and background, and it updates across the entire prototype.
🟡 And before building anything, Claude Design asks thoughtful questions about your colour choices, fonts, and intent, which genuinely helps you spend your tokens wisely.
🚧 What it can't replace yet
The interaction layer. Some interactions worked, some were just layout — and for a mid-fidelity prototype, I get it. But crucial interactions need to function. That said, I think Claude Code will eventually sort this out.
The verdict? Claude Design isn't replacing Figma or a senior product designer anytime soon — but the thoughtfulness it brings to the first draft is genuinely impressive.
Have you tried building a prototype with AI yet? What was your experience? 👇
♥️ Btw, if anyone's interested in the product, I'm actually close to the final version! Follow @clearday.financial.dashboard for updates, stay tuned! 👀
good job
ooh! can you share your link with us so we can try it out?
S·PEN "Silent Predictive Enforcement Network", an Impossible UI with Rive
An experimental UI system built for the Impossible UI with the Rive challenge.
🔗 Contra submission lets goat it:
https://on.contra.com/rBfmLR
This project explores a clandestine intelligence interface where agents operate through real-time data — drone feeds, human asset tracking, and live biometric extraction.
In this scenario:
A subject is located in the field → scanned via drone → neural, skeletal, and cardiovascular data is captured instantly → and linked to a central intelligence system.
Everything happens live.
Everything is connected.
But the real focus of this project is motion and complexity.
*Built entirely in Rive
*Background system driven by 80,000+ vector elements
*Each element runs on its own timing logic
*Continuous scanning, glitching, and data noise layered together
*Frame-by-frame animated “3D” anatomy simulations
This is not meant to be easy to build.
It’s meant to explore the edge of what feels possible.
I intentionally pushed toward:
*dense, reactive, slightly overwhelming systems
*controlled chaos
*visual tension between clarity and noise

Let’s see how far this can go.
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
