Cover image for As creative freelancers, our best
As creative freelancers, our best work often finds itself buried in a desktop portfolio folder because we are simply too busy - or too tired - to do outreach and pitch ourselves (please tell me I'm not alone in this!) The Momentum Machine changes that. Built entirely on Melius, this interactive, multi-agent workspace takes your raw, messy project assets (images, videos, text, or analytics screenshots) and instantly transforms them into a compounding business development ecosystem. Instead of tackling projects individually, it builds a "snowball effect" where one client effortlessly generates the next. 🔗 Melius Project Link: https://app.melius.com/projects/8d06081b-be00-4f6d-9bb9-dff7d2fe9120/canvas/68c66aba-2fa1-48b9-a594-44bfd48c9c58 You can watch the video to see how it works in the backend and the thought process behind it, but essentially it goes like this: ⭐ The freelancer drops their project files (e.g., product photos, a text testimonial, or a cropped screenshot of analytics). ⭐ Node A uses advanced data extraction and OCR to scan the uploads, extracting any key metrics or features of your work. ⭐ Node B infers the creative style and outputs 5 to 10 complementary, non-competing industries that could be a good fit for you. ⭐ Node C weaves the raw data into a high-conversion marketing narrative structure: Hook ➔ Struggle ➔ Aha! Moment ➔ Hero Stat ➔ Closed Loop. ⭐ And then the final outputs: a case study, cold email pitch draft (to pitch those complementary industries we identified in node B), a Contra portfolio entry, and a video script to promote your work. PLUS a bonus Contra portfolio cover and a b-roll video in case you don't feel like being on camera for any reason. PS: building this on Melius was incredibly intuitive - my favorite feature by far being how the agents interact with you in chat during the creative build - instead of just giving a generic output, they prompted me with intelligent follow-up questions with multiple choice answers to fill in the strategic blanks. It genuinely feels like collaborating with a sharp creative partner rather than just using a tool.

Cover image for Most travel apps feel like
Most travel apps feel like impersonal search directories that you can clearly tell were made for your typical traveler - you know, the one that's going on vacation and leaving all worries behind? But that's not us. We are freelancers, which means we get the freedom to travel, but also means client work also gets the freedom to travel alongside us. What a lucky bastard!! Well, this app reimagines the digital nomad journey in the city I know best, Lisbon, through the lens of a local friend. It blends a work mode with vetted co-working spaces with a gamified travel scrapbook, ensuring you experience the authentic culture of the city while building a physical visual log of your stay - no matter the budget you're on! 🛠️ The Tech & Design Workflow To get to this final working prototype, I utilized a connected pipeline across Figma’s advanced tool ecosystem: ⭐️ Figma Design: used as the initial creative sandbox to establish the visual identity, typography, and layout foundations. ⭐️ Figma Make: transformed my static design inspiration into a living, interactive, code-backed prototype with several back-and-forth iterations. ⭐️ Figma Weave: used to create a custom filter to add to user's photos, using its node asset pipeline. 📊 Architecture & Scalability Instead of hardcoding a long database, all the co-working spaces and travel quests are stored in an external Google Sheet exported as a live, public CSV. This allows for instant, real-time data updates without redeploying code, making the app entirely scalable at any time. Also, every recommendation and description for the co-working spaces was written by me from personal, first-hand visits. The travel quests are a blend of personal recommendations and some of my bucket-list items - maybe you'll cross them off sooner than me! 💰 Monetization & The Organic Growth Loop To keep the platform 100% free for users, the plan is to develop affiliate agreements with co-working spaces and paid local experience hosts, earning small commissions per booking. On the other hand, completing quests rewards users with points. And while currently displayed as a "coming soon" placeholder, the road map plans to allow users to redeem these points for real-life gift cards to drive long-term user retention. Lastly, there's some built-in word of mouth, since the scrapbook features a prominent share button on your custom-filtered photos. This turns users into organic brand ambassadors when they share their custom-doodled memories with family back home or on social media.
