Just shipped: VERT — Altimeter & Ski Tracker, live on the App Store. 🏔️
An honest altimeter and hike/ski tracker for iPhone, built around one idea: never lose your day, and never need a signal.
The craft decisions I'm proudest of:
→ Crash-safe by design. Every recording writes to disk continuously — no "press stop to save," no lost day, ever. I tested it against real SIGKILLs.
→ Offline-first, for real. Barometer for altitude, no account, no cloud. Nothing leaves the phone.
→ Honest numbers. The ± you see is the accuracy the OS actually reports — I refused to fake a comforting figure.
→ Real photographs, not stock. The backgrounds are my own shots from the Austrian Alps, keyed to the altitude in their EXIF.
→ Buy once, $1.99. No subscription. The paywall isn't a hostage situation — the app is fully useful free.
Ten languages. Made in Austria, on the trails it was built for. Version one — with plenty more, and Android, on the way.

Nice work! - I like the combination of MCP to canvas to code
Built an entire fintech UI in one session - 16 screens, zero Figma files.

Over the past couple of days, I designed and built Studio Étoile, a fictional Paris-based architecture and interior design studio that reimagines Parisian heritage through a contemporary lens.
The goal wasn't to create the flashiest website, but to craft an experience that felt premium, refined, and timeless.
Every decision - from the typography and copy to the textures and imagery - was made to support that vision.
It was my first time using Squarespace, and I built this project using -
- Fluid Engine
- New Finish Layer (Block animations, Transforms, Stacks and Custom Fonts)
- Custom code

This feels incredibly refined, especially for a first Squarespace build. I really like that you prioritized restraint, atmosphere, and consistency over adding motion everywhere. The typography, textures, and Parisian architectural direction feel very intentional. Beautiful work, Ashwini! Good luck
Introducing Decksmith, an AI-powered presentation platform that transforms rough sketches, prompts, documents, and existing slides into professional, on-brand presentation decks in minutes.
By combining AI generation with optional expert review, Decksmith delivers presentations that are visually polished, strategically structured, and tailored to the audience.
I designed and built the landing page using Finish Layer's advanced capabilities to achieve a polished, production-quality experience.
I leveraged the Layers Panel to precisely control element stacking, especially in the hero section, ensuring the correct elements appeared on top while background elements remained behind to create the desired depth and interaction.
I used Mobile Overrides to hide elements that exist on desktop but are not necessary for the mobile experience, allowing for a cleaner and more optimized mobile layout.
I applied Block Animations & Transforms to add interactive elements and visual polish across almost all sections of the landing page.
I used Custom Font Uploads to apply specific font styles for unique elements, such as the scrolling marquee text.
