This is a such a wild (and very cool) workflow!
how to channel your ai psychosis and creativity into arr featuring @Figma and @ElevenLabs
It's 20, 50, 100 takes, and also resetting your demo environment back to 0 every time. And dealing with any caching, or other edge cases that stem from doing the same thing over and over in an unnatural way to how users normally use the product. Mix in the new variable of venue wifi/internet... this is just real life. Holly is cool AF and handled it so well.

Shout to to @dannyjpwilliams and the @Wealthsimple for being so responsive and looking into this ♥️
Not sure what is going on with @Wealthsimple but the account transfer flows are glitching big time. Haven’t experience this before.
Well I made it. And the baggage carousel vultures were in full effect today. They tell me, the closer you get to the little chute where the bags drop, the quicker your bag comes.
SF friends. Is the 101 from the airport to the city really bumpy, or do all of the ride shares just have unbalanced wheels. I get car sick every time.
One of the nice things about personal software is how much simpler you can make the interface by being more opinionated on how things work behind the scenes.
That is a luxury that software for widespread use doesn’t always have. But it highlights the value of being opinionated when possible; not always trying to cater to flexibility or customization.
From here I started building out my initial default state components. Agent was again handy to build out additional component variations.
Even if they weren't perfect, I could start with one variant and get it to take a first pass on the rest while I worked on other things. Then upon completion I could tweak the styling.
Lastly, annotations are really handy to add development and interaction notes about the desired behaviour. This context is included in the payload sent via the Figma MCP server back to your coding agent.
I found it helpful to not try to implement too much at once. Work on specific parts of the app with more specificity, linking to specific frames or components on the canvas.
Was great to see animated micro-interactions made with Figma Motion get implemented first try 👌 too.
In case this project is interesting to anyone, source code is here: github.com/thomas-lowry/mp3-…
