Built Trace App, a new way to capture memories as designed experiences.
Using Mobbin, I studied how top apps structure content, emotion, and interaction. Patterns like cards, modular flows, and lightweight creation tools shaped the foundation of this concept.
Trace turns moments into Polaroid-style cards.
You can add a photo, apply filters, write text, and even attach audio.
Each memory becomes a small, expressive story, saved as a video you can actually revisit.
This is my take on Inspo → Build.
Try the demo: tracecontest.replit.app
Open it via Expo Go to experience the app.
potential top 3 in my opinion
Appreciate the kind rating, means a lot

Daily Ritual is my entry for the Mobbin Challenge with Contra.
It’s a luxury self-care rituals app designed to help people slow down, reset, and reconnect with themselves.
Took inspiration from Mobbin, designed in Figma, and built with Anything AI.
The task was to take inspiration from Mobbin, but still design and build a product with originality—not a replicated design
So after much research, I decided to design a self-care ritual app, as there aren’t so many products like this in the wellness and well-being industry.
So I designed it in Figma, but not gonna lie, the challenge was building it in the AI builder, as I had to keep prompting for hours to get my results.
At some point I got frustrated, but yeah, it was all worth it.
Made for the Contra x Mobbin Challenge.
I challenged myself to stop vibe-coding UI from scratch and actually research first.
Used Mobbin to study how the world’s best apps handle hierarchy and feel. Then I rebuilt Trace informed by those patterns.
The result?
Before: built from scratch, no references. Functional. Stiff.
After: same app, real research behind every decision. Completely different energy.
The lesson: Study the best, then build something better. Every time.
Trace is a creative companion for those landing in a new city. It’s designed to turn the "to-do list" of moving into a series of meaningful quests, marked by tactile interactions and high-end visual storytelling.
Excited to join the Contra × Mobbin challenge and share a quick idea from my UI/UX practice.
Instead of browsing Mobbin manually, I explored how AI can structure and automate design research.
🧠 Mobbin Research Skill for Claude Code (Find Skill in comments)
I built a reusable workflow that:
🔍 Searches Mobbin by screen type and category
🖼 Collects 15–25 curated references
📊 Analyzes layout, typography, spacing, and components
Generates:
📄 Design brief
🎨 Design tokens
🗂 Screenshot index
🧩 Ready-to-use design context
Turns inspiration into a repeatable system, not a one-time exploration.
