The Living Cockpit — I rebuilt mission control for the autonomous AI fleet I actually run, entirely in Wonder. One structured brief to Wonder's agent generated the whole cinematic dashboard: a breathing GODMODE core filled with a Wonder shader, the companion agents orbiting it, and an EKG heartbeat that reads as the system's pulse. Because Wonder is real code, this design ships straight to the dashboard that runs my machine.

Built a voice-first AI app in @usewonder.
The goal was simple: create something that makes people instantly think, "Damn, this feels like a real AI product."
I started with a few foundation screens, imported them into Wonder, then used Wonder Chat to expand the experience, refine the UX, and iterate much faster than I normally would.
My favorite feature has to be Shaders. It instantly made the interface feel more alive and premium. I also experimented with MCP + Codex to push the prototype further. Still learning that workflow, but it was fun to explore.
Here's a quick walkthrough of the project and how Wonder fit into my design process.
P.S. Ignore my grammar and occasional stuttering in the video. My brain renders thoughts faster than my mouth ships them. 😭
Built AUREN, a fully responsive e-commerce experience for a modular furniture brand, designed in Wonder and brought to life through Wonder MCP + Codex.
As someone who regularly designs e-commerce templates, I wanted to see how far I could take an idea inside one connected workflow. Wonder helped me move incredibly fast from visual direction and product imagery to responsive layouts, a complete design system, material assets, and then straight into a functional coded experience.
The final build includes product variants, modular configurations, cart interactions, responsive states, and a full mobile experience. What would normally require jumping between multiple tools became a much faster, more fluid process.
The video starts with the final showcase, followed by short clips showing how Wonder supported the project from first concept to live implementation.

I built an operating system for my marriage.
MARRIAGE.OS is a fictional OS that treats a relationship the way software treats a system. It has a boot sequence, a live dashboard (trust level, comms uptime, a resentment queue, partner battery at 31%), a screen of the conditionals we actually run on (IF thermostat.touched_by(partner_a) THEN war()), an error log of every fight we've ever had (all resolved, eventually), and a shutdown screen that dims the lights and says goodnight.
The whole thing is a CRT terminal aesthetic: amber phosphor on near-black, scanlines, JetBrains Mono, a design system I kept consistent across all six screens.
How Wonder made it possible: I designed every screen with Wonder Chat, generating layouts from prompts and refining them on the canvas. The living glow behind the boot and shutdown screens is a Wonder shader, tuned by hand. Then I used Wonder's MCP to pull the design straight into code and ship it to a live URL. Canvas to code to deployed, no rebuild.
