“but does it solve anyone’s problem?”
my husband asked me this yesterday while clicking through the Christmas movie advent calendar I’m building 🎄
It started as a template. Then I got carried away, and now I want to launch it, promote it, maybe submit it to Awwwards. Who’s going to stop me? I’m having fun with it 🫠
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Then I realised: yes, it does. Mine.
I wanted to make something of my own. Something I could design, build, get attached to, and actually put out into the world.
I’ve heard “a product should solve someone’s problem” so many times that I almost forgot my own reasons count too.
When was the last time you made something just because you wanted to? Before wondering whether anyone would like it, use it, or think it was worth making?
Keeping up with how fast technology moves can feel overwhelming. But these tools have also made it possible for me to finally bring an idea like this to life — and that means a lot to me, both as a designer and as a person.
Maybe it’s a small thing. I’m still really happy I’m making it 🤎
i need this in december
Everything will be 😍

Going with Purple Stones. It feels more distinctive and memorable for a showreel, Silver & Ropes is clean but a bit safer.
A bold, modern landing page for a creative agency, built around immersive visuals and strong typography. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
The fix for an agent that keeps getting your design system wrong isn't a better prompt.
It's putting the rules where the agent reads them.
In the repo. In skills. In checks it can run itself.
Writing a course about exactly this.
What sells it for me is the refusal telling the agent exactly where the token should go. A bare "no hex" error usually just sends it looping. Does guard.mjs run only as an agent hook, or in pre-commit too so it catches humans as well?
