Testing out some new tools today and ended up with this project. The core idea is a mashup between the classic Pokedex—specifically its ability to scan and display item rarity—and a high-end rare sneaker marketplace. Instead of Pokémon, it’s all about tracking and auditing sneaker data.
I started with a simple prompt and kept iterating by feeding it reference images, refining the details until it hit the right vibe.
For the interface, I went for a 'slideshow' feel using D-pad controls to interact with the cards. Honestly, it took me hours to get that button logic locked in—it’s not 100% pixel-perfect yet, but it works, and that’s a win for today! HEHE
The design leans into Neo-Retro Brutalism, blending 90s hardware sensibilities with modern UI patterns. Through a Skeuomorphic-System approach, the interface mimics a proprietary firmware environment—using a terminal-first aesthetic and data-dense layout to create a physical sense of 'system presence' rather than just a flat web page.
Overall, this tool is an absolute beast for brainstorming and visualizing web concepts. It’s been a game-changer for getting ideas out of my head and into a playable prototype. It really bridges the gap between 'just a static image' and 'a fully interactive system.
Wow, Will, this is an absolute masterpiece! A mashup of a classic Pokédex with a high-end sneaker marketplace is such a brilliant, nostalgic concept.
The Neo-Retro Brutalism aesthetic is flawless, and you completely nailed that 90s firmware, skeuomorphic "system presence" vibe....

Thank you Thalia! 😊
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Welcome
You’re totally right about the Neo-Brutalist style! It’s such a cool look, and it’s awesome that you have a Pokédex with that same design. Thanks for pointing that out!😊
My jaw literally dropped when I saw this — so good.
HEHE Thanks Denis!! It means a lot for me!😊
Love the retro paper style feel

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!
Most AI projects today focus on speed, automation, or productivity.
I wanted to explore something different: What if AI could help organize emotional overwhelm instead of just optimizing workflows?
So for this design sprint, I built QuietSpace — an AI-powered emotional organization platform designed to help people untangle stress, burnout, mental overload, and emotional noise through reflective AI.
The idea wasn’t to create another therapy app or productivity dashboard.
I wanted the experience to feel: calm, humane, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely helpful.
The entire interface was built around a BentoGrid system with ambient interactions, soft motion, and emotionally-aware UI patterns. I also pushed Stitch to its limits by experimenting with exported design systems, custom structures, connected flows, and layered interaction logic to shape the final experience.
This project heavily utilized Stitch’s newer prototyping and system-based workflow features to rapidly build and refine the experience.
Some of the screens include: • Thought Dump • AI Categorization • Pattern Recognition • Micro Recovery • Emotional Dashboard Systems
One thing I’ve been trying to focus on lately is building concepts that don’t just look visually polished, but also solve real human problems or create awareness around experiences people quietly deal with every day.
This project became a blend of: AI × emotional UX × systems thinking × interface storytelling.
This project became an exploration of how AI interfaces can feel emotionally supportive instead of emotionally exhausting.
