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...

GenDesigner Play is an interactive web app equipping the next generation of designers. The app aims to transform the principles of visual design into cause-and-effect puzzles that children from 3 yrs+ can engage with. Instead of reading about theory, kids can learn by doing—feeling the weight, structure, and balance of digital elements in real-time. Google Stitch has been used in the initial exploration of the dashboard and landing page. We started off with the design.md import as well as a brief react prototype code base. This was then used to come up with the dashboard exploration as well as a Contrast game and journey map. A background animation was explored using building blocks as animated design elements. Then a landing page was explored and iterated on, finally being exported to Netlify through the new preview feature to see what it would look like on different devices. Generally Google Stitch use was great for the exploration and initial development, still looking to refine a lot more and continue iterating before live testing. The ease of deployment via netlify intergration was particularly lovely. The current design is https://stitch.withgoogle.com/projects/8129524678062519122 With the exported landing page on https://9c12dd6c-gendesigner-design-system.netlify.app/

I love the idea of a design education app for children!
