It finally worked. I’m currently building Chu Prototyper—an AI-powered Figma plugin designed to let you prototype instantly using simple text prompts.
As a UI/UX designer with zero coding background, getting this to work has been a massive hurdle. It’s definitely not live yet, and there are still plenty of bugs and corrections to smooth out, but this demo is proof that the core logic is officially working.
In the video, you can see the plugin successfully connecting with Gemini AI to map out the smart_animate interaction flow automatically from a text command.
The goal is to eventually eliminate the tedious clicking of manual prototyping so we can focus entirely on designing.
It’s still a work in progress, but seeing this milestone happen makes all the troubleshooting worth it.
I'd love to know—if you could automate one repetitive task in your design workflow using AI, what would it be? 👇i

We're exploring two interaction patterns for a services section.
Option 1 - Direct Navigation. Users preview a service on hover and navigate directly on click.
Option 2 - Progressive Disclosure. Users expand the card first, explore additional details, and then decide whether to continue.
Both approaches aim to reduce uncertainty before navigation. The trade-off is simple: speed vs. exploration.
Which pattern would you choose, and in what situations would you use the other one?

Option 2 is not actually bad, but it may be difficult for users to navigate. From what I’m seeing, users would need to place their cursor over the section before they realize that a feature is hidden there.
I had this idea stuck in my head for a while...
What if scrolling through a website felt more like controlling the camera in a cinematic Ferrari commercial?
So I decided to build it.
The hero section starts inside the cockpit. As you scroll, the camera moves through the windshield, circles around the Ferrari, and finishes behind the car all controlled by your scroll.
Getting it to feel smooth was the biggest challenge. Scrubbing a video directly didn't deliver the experience I wanted, so I switched to a frame by frame approach instead. It took a bit more work, but the result feels much more natural and responsive.
This is the kind of experience I love building where motion isn't just there to look cool, it becomes part of the storytelling.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts. 👇

Okay this is such a fun concept, scrolling as camera movement instead of just scroll-triggered fades. Frame by frame instead of scrubbing video is a smart workaround. Did you run into any performance issues getting it smooth on lower-end devices?
Finally get to share this one — been sitting on it for a while and couldn't post until now 🎉
Designed the full landing page (and a bunch of product screens) for XRS, a prop trading platform. The idea: traders pass a funded-account challenge, trade the firm's capital, and keep up to 80% of the profits.
Prop trading is a pretty saturated space and most platforms look the same — dark UI, generic trading stock imagery, nothing that actually sticks. So instead of the usual playbook, I leaned into a black-and-gold identity — including custom, hand-crafted illustrations built specifically for this project (the glowing spheres, gradient icons, all of it) instead of stock assets or generic 3D packs.
Some of what's in there:
— Custom illustrated icons for the 3-rule system and "trader to fund manager" journey
— Floating reward/payout cards as social proof right in the hero
— A plan selector so people can pick account size, currency, challenge type
— Trustpilot ratings + a testimonial section for trust
— Support + FAQ blocks, because people are putting real money on the line
Genuinely proud of how this one came together — every visual element built from scratch for the brand, full case + more screens are up now, finally 👀
This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.
