I am developing a tool for creative writing. It is called "First Lines" and it's essentially a lottery of the first sentence that you could expand into a beginning of a short story.
Since the beginning, it was ment to spark creativity and it very much did that. I would love more people to try it. I am already planning a second phase, but I am very curious of your opinions.
If you don't feel like writing, you can check how others developed the First Lines and select the ones that hooked you!

The hero is the site's handshake, so it had to carry the whole idea in a few seconds.
Rather than a static image with a headline over it, the hero responds to cursor and scroll input with subtle parallax and depth. The freight reads as something in motion rather than a photograph of something that moved. Restraint mattered here: enough life to signal that this site behaves differently, not so much that it turns into a demo reel and gets in the way of the message.
The hero is the sites handshake—love that framing. Did you keep the full interactive 3D globe for mobile screens too or fall back to a lighter 2D version to save on performance?
We tested Figma's new AI agent on a real page for an actual Settings screen, not a demo. It reads as literally an assistant: clean file, clear prompt, and it helps with UX enhancements and autolayout.
We didn't accept the output as-is. Some of it broke. So we audited what worked, what didn't & why AI didn't replace the design process, it just moved where our attention needed to go!
Really like this take. AI is definitely becoming a great tool for speeding things up, but the design thinking and review part still matters a lot.
They came in with a logo that was already live — just not landing. Too soft, too rounded, closer to "wellness product" than the bold, premium café they were building.
We refined the wordmark into something sharper, then built the system around it: brand guidelines, packaging, menu, social templates, merch — all timed to a soft launch in Davao City, Philippines.
The name "Borne" is a quiet nod to the founder's mom, who brought the family somewhere better. That story shaped every cut in the typography.
Check it out if you want to see how it came together 😊
Love the thinking behind this. A strong brand always starts with the story.
