I use Claude Code + Cursor to build working React Native prototypes in 3-7 days instead of 3 months.
AI didn't replace engineering judgment - it replaced the boring 60%: boilerplate, CRUD, repetitive UI states.
The other 40% still needs someone who's shipped 500+ apps.

I will probably continue with the minimalist version of the design, but you can check the full case study of the cosmic-style design here:
That is such a great idea for an app! And I love the space-themed design!
I've been sending a lot of outreach messages lately as part of my job search, and pretty quickly ran into the same wall every time.
Writing a good, personalized message was never the problem. The problem was everything before it: finding the right contact, pulling context on the role or company, checking if I'd already reached out, then logging it somewhere so I wouldn't lose track.
There was a lot of repetitive work standing between me and writing the message itself.
So I started building a small dashboard (React, Vite, deployed on Vercel) to handle the deterministic stuff. It looks up contacts, pulls the context I need, and tracks everything in Notion automatically. I pretty much just do the writing.
Still early and still just for me, but it's already saved a chunk of time I used to burn on busywork instead of actually reaching out to people.

Building your own dashboard to kill the repetitive lookup work instead of just grinding through it manually says a lot. Did you set out planning to build something, or did the busywork hit a point where vibe-coding a fix felt faster than doing the research by hand one more time?
nunu — Botanical Skincare Art Direction
🌿 Art direction for nunu, a quiet botanical skincare brand built around natural oils, skin texture, soft rituals, and calm visual storytelling.
As part of the visual exploration, I created a series of campaign-style compositions combining product imagery, botanical details, minimal typography, skin close-ups, and soft green tones to shape a tactile, premium skincare world.
Love thissss!
