Neglecting design and user experience is how companies start to decline.

Got curious how close AI can get, so… challenge accepted 😏 5 versions in 15 min, light + dark mode. 1 prompt, no edits, using ISO-GLOW skill~

this section alone took us over 8 hours of design and animation work. AI will never reach this level of quality 😏

Working on a new skill built on Colorfigures: describe any building, get a house you can take apart, look inside, inspect the activities, and play through the seasons This one’s a Fujian tulou. A whole clan in one round building: gongfu tea, mahjong, incense for the ancestors... Learning would have been so much easier if I’d had this as a kid.

Made a pop-up book of houses around the world with Colorfigures 🏠 Open it and the house rises off the page. Take it apart to see how it’s built, or look inside at daily life 🇸🇬 shophouse · 🇯🇵 machiya · 🇮🇳 nalukettu The 3D book idea came from @techartist_ 🙏 Which house should I build next?

Love this! If I had kids, I’d love to teach them this way. I’ve been exploring learning through play too! A Claude skill for making hand-drawn, interactive everyday objects. Here’s my little washing machine :) colorfigures.vercel.app

Here’s a prototype of the Kids version: “How does a pump fill a tyre?” I’m experimenting with different iterations to find the simplest way to help kids understand how things work, while still keeping enough detail to make the experience engaging, interactive, and educational

Many asked me how to make these, so I turned it into a skill~ Colorfigures: Describe an everyday object, and Claude draws it hand-inked and isometric, with buttons that actually work. You can also ask how something works and the skill will label the parts to explain how each part does its job. Free and open source 👇
