Day 1: The Idea
Started with a question on Reddit: what places do you still think about that are gone?
Over 200 people replied across London, Liverpool and New York in under an hour.
"The city lost a piece of its soul when it closed."
"I still think about it when I get back from the gym."
"I wonder if I imagined it sometimes."
That was the brief.
Last Seen is an archive of lost places and the ones still worth finding. Three cities. Real memories from real people. A map that shows what we've lost and what's still here.
Built tonight: Supabase schema, 49 seeded places with real memories, live on lastseen.city with a working Mapbox explore page.
Stack: Next.js App Router, Tailwind, Supabase, Mapbox, Vercel. Figma for design system and workflow.

Tiny launch day ✨
Prism is live on Product Hunt
It's a free browser-based tool that adds prismatic refractions and chromatic aberration to photos.
Upload an image → play with the settings → export your result.
I made it while building aftrglo — a bigger project to make sharing creative work online feel lighter. Prism is one small creative wander from that process. And today it gets its own little launch 🐣
Built for creatives who want to add that strange little something to a visual without opening heavy software.
It came from the same place as all my experiments:
I made something for myself,
kept playing with it,
then realized it might be useful for someone else too.
So I cleaned it up and decided to share it before the bigger project is ready.
Come play with it and let me know what you think 🪩
Curious to see what you make with it too, as the results can go from extra cool to wonderfully weird
Amazing design!
Clean work man! Bigups
We’re used to service sections on websites looking “correct”: clean grids, standard cards, an icon on top, text underneath. It works – but it’s not always memorable.
Sometimes, even serious, professional websites stand out precisely because they present their services in a more unexpected way. Here, the services are designed almost like individual scenes: oversized rounded shapes, soft lines, plenty of negative space, asymmetrical composition, a calm color palette, and bright CTA buttons used as accents. Because of this, the section feels less like a list and more like a visual rhythm.
This kind of approach isn’t just about aesthetics. It helps communicate the personality of the project before the user even starts reading. And it’s a good reminder that service sections don’t have to be purely functional – they can feel atmospheric, expressive, and a little unexpected too.
What a design!
