Most people use Claude Code at 20% of its potential. I wrote a guide on the other 80% — the workflows, configs, and guardrails I use to ship production apps with it. link: https://contra.com/products/SpZmG4hB-claude-code-guide-for-saas-and-product-development

I joined the Google Stitch Challenge on Contra and built a comprehensive Driver Service MVP concept. 🚀

The idea started simple: What if an app didn’t just list tasks, but felt like an intuitive, real-time control center for a driver's entire shift?

Using Google Stitch as a design partner, I mapped out a complete visual system and built-out a structured flow including:

Kinetic Utility System: Setting up the core typography, component library, and color palette.

Driver Portal & Authentication: A seamless login and onboarding interface.

Live Job Dashboards: Interactive screens tracking available jobs, estimated earnings, and immediate "Accept Job" actions.

Active Mission Tracking: Real-time route mapping, turn-by-turn navigation, and customer details.

Earnings & Driver Profiles: Clear breakdowns of weekly metrics, historic data, and vehicle documentation management.

Getting the exact hierarchy, grid spacing, and multi-screen visual flow right took some iterating, but that’s where the tool shined. It allowed me to explore layouts quickly without losing my personal design taste.

If I get more time, I'd love to scale this further with micro-interactions, custom map elements, and dark-mode states.
