Matt is ready for their next project!
I wanted my own Raycast-like design tool that I could pop open with a hotkey combo while working on any project. So I vibed it into existence on my mac in a single day. Opus 4.5 is no joke.
Some minor flaws but loving it so far.
For anyone wondering I made this with Claude Code using this workflow:
1. Discuss the project idea and initialized the Xcode project (Swift + Swift UI based) - Opus did this without issue.
2. Brainstormed the workflow pattern in plan mode with Claude for the best path to get all features working as expected
3. Build one feature at a time, frequently unit & integration test them, then commit to a proper branched git repo.
4. Also, if i thought Opus wasn't fully seeing the vision, I'd have Gemini 3 run double checks or give its own ideas.
Highly recommend trying this out, build your own tools!

Today's design experiment in Figma: AI interactions.
I love Claude's 'quick' widget on Mac that sticks to the top tool bar/icon bar. I imagine those will start to become the norm in AI tools. No need to go to the website or even fully open the software, just open a quick widget and interact with them right away.
Bonus points for every additional feature added to boost the UX - things like speech detection, connectors to your favourite apps and other AI tools.
Hope you like it. Happy Sunday.
