Lilliac — A Tinder-style hiring marketplace built with Stitch
I spent the last few days building Lilliac from scratch using Google Stitch — a two-sided freelance hiring platform where companies swipe through talent and freelancers swipe through projects. When both sides say yes, it's a match.
Here's what's inside:
— Full swipe deck with hero images and expandable portfolio cards
— Two completely separate user modes, hiring and freelancer, with no crossover
— Match celebration screen with both sides connected
— Team builder to manage hired freelancers per project
— 30+ screens including onboarding, chat, notifications, settings, billing and more
— Animated splash screen, consistent design system throughout
How I used Stitch
Everything was designed and prototyped in Stitch. I used Gemini Pro to generate screens iteratively — starting with the core swipe flow, then building out both user journeys, then layering in auxiliary screens. The back-and-forth with the model to fix navigation, wire interactions, and maintain design consistency across 30+ screens was the real workflow.
What worked:
The speed of going from concept to prototype is genuinely impressive. Describing a screen in plain language and seeing it rendered in seconds changed how I think about early-stage product design. The design quality out of the box is higher than I expected.
What I'd improve:
Cross-screen state management is something I had to work around carefully, especially keeping two user modes completely separate. More control over component-level wiring would make complex prototypes significantly more reliable.

Wow, Michał, mapping out 30+ screens to keep two completely separate user modes distinct is an incredible structural feat for a short challenge! The Tinder-style swipe mechanics look flawless, and that match celebration screen is a fantastic touch.
Fantastic execution! I also...

Tiny launch day ✨
Prism is live on Product Hunt
It's a free browser-based tool that adds prismatic refractions and chromatic aberration to photos.
Upload an image → play with the settings → export your result.
I made it while building aftrglo — a bigger project to make sharing creative work online feel lighter. Prism is one small creative wander from that process. And today it gets its own little launch 🐣
Built for creatives who want to add that strange little something to a visual without opening heavy software.
It came from the same place as all my experiments:
I made something for myself,
kept playing with it,
then realized it might be useful for someone else too.
So I cleaned it up and decided to share it before the bigger project is ready.
Come play with it and let me know what you think 🪩
Curious to see what you make with it too, as the results can go from extra cool to wonderfully weird
Amazing design!
