Just built my first native macOS app (with zero dev experience)
Stack: Claude Code + Xcode + Figma (for the app icon design only)
The app is nothing special really - just another pomodoro/focus timer, but the fact that it's my first experiment with Xcode and it took just a few hours, makes me super excited.
I'm now setting up an apple developer account and brainstorming what to build next 😅
That’s awesome 👏 Going from zero dev experience to a native macOS app in a few hours is a huge milestone. Love seeing designers and builders experiment across disciplines excited to see what you create next!
First macOS app with zero dev experience is honestly wild. Claude Code + Xcode combo is lowkey unbeatable 🙌

I used Figma Make to quickly generate a website layout and then test two different color directions on top of it.
For early exploration, having a solid base to experiment on makes conversations much clearer and helps move decisions forward.
If you’ve been curious about Figma Make, this could be a simple way to bring it into your process. 🙌
Just started my Figma course early this year, and whenever I see exciting projects like this, it just keeps me motivated 🙌.
Good design isn’t decoration — it’s communication.
I focus on clear layouts, thoughtful UX, and subtle motion that makes products feel premium without trying too hard.

The "The Perfect Home" hero is stunning, that mountain backdrop combined with the interior mockup preview is a great way to sell the experience.
ArtisanLink started as a marketplace for local artisans in the January #BubbleBuildsRevenue challenge, connecting artists with customers through profiles, portfolios, custom orders, and secure payments. Since then, I’ve built on that prototype, validated the core marketplace UX, and evolved it into a production-ready platform for AI creators and digital innovators. The original ArtisanLink proved the value of discovery, secure transactions, and creator-to-customer engagement — and now that foundation powers a new ecosystem where AI creators can showcase tools, bots, models, services, and digital products, while businesses and creators can easily find, hire, or purchase directly on the platform.
