Cover image for What if your everyday texts
What if your everyday texts were actually a love story? I built Between Us (https://love-between-us.replit.app/), where you upload your WhatsApp chat export and it transforms your raw message history into a beautiful, shareable one-pager celebrating your relationship. The result is a unique URL you can send to your person. A love letter written by your own conversations. Huge shoutout to Wispr Flow - It just works out of the box, super intuitive, strips out all the ums and ahs, and reformats everything cleanly. It lets you think out loud without friction. This is staying in my daily workflow well beyond this hackathon. The stack: Replit, Figma, OpenAI's API and Gemini for image gen.

Every year we buy gifts we know are bad. We smile. They lie. The cycle continues. I built The Anti-Gift Guide (https://anti-gift-guide.replit.app/) to end this. You answer a few uncomfortable questions about the person you’re shopping for, get assigned a toxic persona, and receive a list of things you absolutely should not buy them...if you want to remain friends. Built with: - @Replit for the app - @Suno for mildly annoying festive audio - @Tolstoy for the product image template Use at your own risk 👉 https://anti-gift-guide.replit.app/ (Speakers on for extra magic) Side note: Replit handled the entire build without complaint, which is more than I can say for most tools. And Suno’s v5 model is alarmingly good for the speed it produces results.

Most AI tools are sycophants. They tell you everything looks great, even when it doesn't. So I built Red Flag Resume - a tool that gives you the brutally honest feedback recruiters won't. No sugarcoating. Just the red flags and real fixes. First time using YouWare and as a UX designer, I was impressed. The designs came out polished and thoughtful, not the usual AI output. Try it out here 👉 https://ds8gc1537n.youware.app Social post on X link here (https://x.com/michellesjames/status/2003351667891458200) and proof of X account follow here (https://i.imgur.com/jSiGLrG.png).

Cover image for I have ADHD and struggle to cook without getting overwhelmed...
I have ADHD and struggle to cook without getting overwhelmed… so I created Simmer. Simmer turns chaotic online recipes into calm, step-by-step instructions you can actually follow. One clear action at a time - no rushing, no stress. This was also my first time using Anything, and wow. It handled multiple tasks in one go, tracked its own to-do list, let me revert versions instantly, and even rendered a real app from my first prompt. And building anywhere, anytime is a game changer (bonus photo attached of me starting the build on my phone while cooking) Try it here: https://www.createanything.com/mobile-preview/b1d0ce41-5d7b-4881-a936-5bdd4edc980f Let me know what you think! 😊 Build view (for judges): https://www.createanything.com/build/b1d0ce41-5d7b-4881-a936-5bdd4edc980f?view=2e0b2535-f3be-4d8f-b28c-9dad833b5824

Made an 8-bit holiday card maker today and I'm still smiling! 😊🎮 Nostalgic pixel art filters + lo-fi chiptune music + festive vibes = pure glee Built on @replit (https://contra.com/replit) with design mode, 4 pieces of music made in @suno (https://contra.com/company/suno_98037b) all inspired by the 8-bit greeting card designs and this greeting card app, designs made in part in figma and starring Alfie, my clueless mini poodle as my greeting card model. You can check it out on https://8-bit-holiday-card.replit.app 🎄✨ Mobile version let's you take a selfie!

Cover image for Innovative AI Chat App: Communicate Thoughtfully, Send Insta...
Reimagining AI chat. Like a telegraph operator composing a transmission, FULL STOP (https://fullstop.figma.site/) lets you send your thoughts in bursts, one tap at a time. One tap queues a fragment, keeping the wire open while you think. Double tap closes the wire and sends your complete thought. Designed for the way humans actually think. Thanks @Contra HQ (https://contra.com/contra) and @Figma (https://contra.com/company/figma) for this awesome challenge!

Jotson is an energy management app ⚡️ that I've been pretty excited to help build. I led the creation of their first design system and introduced a new illustration system. I also contributed to designing the product features, one of it in the video below. The intro animated video is one I'm most proud of. We didn't really have a motion design capacity in-house but I had some experience in my prior work. Using the design system, I storyboarded, animated, and edited the final video. It's not the most polished and the sound could definitely better but for the scope and the budget it performed pretty well! 😊 See the case study overview here (https://contra.com/p/UWZ2AMYe-design-and-illustration-system-for-reducing-tech-and-design-debt?referralExperimentNid=DEFAULT_REFERRAL_PROGRAM&referrerUsername=traceorozco)
