Been experimenting building my own apps using Replit and Cursor. The recent Sonnet 3.7 launch has been wild! I could build my quite complex to do list app with only 1 prompt.
Thanks for reaching out—great to connect! The Sonnet 3.7 launch has been a game-changer for AI-powered building. Sounds like an awesome experiment with your to-do list app! I’ll be sharing more on what I’m working on soon—stay tuned :D
This really resonates with my experience. The "idea to prototype" gap has been my biggest frustration in product development for years. I've recently been exploring this exact approach - using AI as a prototyping partner to validate concepts before investing heavily.
What surprised me most was how showing developers actual working code (even if imperfect) changes the conversation entirely. The feedback becomes immediately actionable rather than theoretical.
You're absolutely right that it's about finding "good enough" to test ideas quickly. Looking forward to hearing how your experiments turn out!
Couldn’t agree more! That shift from abstract ideas to tangible prototypes completely changes the game—especially when working with developers. Having something real, even if scrappy, makes feedback so much more actionable.
Excited to hear how your approach evolves too! I’ll be sharing more on my experiments soon 😉
this has been my experience... my characters were stuck in my sketchbook for 5 years. Now I can create top quality comics. They're still a lot of work... anyone who has really tried to do a polished AI project knows you have to fix things, refine things and make them your own. As a graphic artist of 15 years I thought this would ruin me... but it has set me free. If you're lazy it will show.

If you don't take the AI and make it your own... you're work will just be average or worse.
If you take the best tools available and learn to use them proficiently... your work will lead the industry.
It’s incredible how AI prototyping is reshaping the game! Instead of rough sketches and leaving gaps to the imagination — for you and your stakeholders — you now get an interactive representation in no time.
One thing to remember though: just because it “works” doesn’t mean it’s ready for production. Sometimes it’s still just a prototype, and the real magic happens when you rebuild it from scratch, based on the validated idea.
Happy prototyping! I’m excited to hear more about your secret project soon! 👀

Curious to see what are you building!

I have tried Claude, Cursor, and Lovable. So far I am liking the last one the best. You?
AI has definitely changed the way we approach the conventional design and dev process. I wrote about that in a few posts.
