Built Sprig over the weekend because drawing while explaining an idea is harder than it should be.
You talk, it draws. Built on Excalidraw + OpenAI.
Started as “can this even work?” Learned a lot along the way
Available for new design or full vibe-coded projects!

i’ve spent years designing websites with whatever tools were available
now i’m slowly getting used to the fact that i can also make the tool
for this project i wanted to explore more directions for the brand
collecting references or creating each direction from scratch would already become a project of its own
so i built a small generator and started playing with it
each output gives me something to react to
keep this
change that
try one more
and then one combination suddenly feels like a direction worth following
it’s still rough and i keep finding small things to fix
but honestly this is the part i’m enjoying most
doing the design and building the tool that helps me explore different visual languages at the same time
Making the tool instead of just using it is such an underrated superpower for designers. Once you can generate directions to react to, exploration stops feeling precious and starts being fun. This is the good kind of lazy.

Your Shopify store may NOT need more traffic.
It might need a better reason for visitors to buy.
I see this all the time:
A store is getting visitors.
People are viewing products.
Some are even adding to cart.
But sales? Still low.
So the first thought is:
“We need more ads.”
Not always.
Before spending more money on traffic, check these 6 things:
→ Is your offer clear within 5 seconds?
→ Does your product page answer the buyer’s biggest questions?
→ Are reviews and trust signals easy to find?
→ Is the Add to Cart button obvious on mobile?
→ Are shipping and returns explained clearly?
→ Is there a strong reason to buy NOW instead of “maybe later”?
More traffic sent to a weak buying experience can simply mean paying for more people to leave.
Fix the leaks first. Then scale the traffic.
I’m curious:
What’s the biggest challenge with your Shopify store right now?
A) Traffic
B) Add to carts
C) Checkout abandonment
D) Low conversion rate
E) Not sure yet

First attempt at working with Framer. 🚀
