July 1st, I opened X (formerly Twitter, always chaos) and thought, “Alright, let’s see what the hype is.” By July 2nd, I had already posted something dumb. By July 3rd, I realized: people here ship.
And somehow, this app turned me from a lurker into a builder on steroids. Here's what went down during my first month of being chronically online productively.
I always wanted to build something that felt like an "AI interface layer" for design systems. So I built an MCP server for Aceternity UI that lets LLMs discover components like it's an IKEA catalog but smarter.
I wanted a portfolio that felt like I was hacking inside Chrome DevTools. So I made this template perfect for devs who hate minimalism and love windows... inside windows.
Everyone loves buttons, but no one loves writing Tailwind from scratch. So I made JustButton: a tiny platform to design, preview, and export Tailwind CSS buttons because copy-pasting from StackOverflow is sooo 2022.
Somewhere in the middle of building, I went on a design bender. I posted a bunch of Figma stuff, but this one hit different. Minimal, clean, and (kinda) viral.
If you're a fan of Need for Speed Most Wanted, you're my kind of person. I built a Three.js tribute site because the nostalgia hit me harder than the final boss race with Razor.
Fortune cookies, but make it 3D. That’s it. Cookie Crack is my way of letting people “open” fortune cookies in Three.js, complete with little fortunes that may or may not change your life.
I won’t lie. Sometimes the X algo needs a little chaos to notice you. So yes, I did some shitposting. Negative aura was weaponized, engagement happened, and the followers followed. Win-win.
So yeah shoutout to July, shoutout to X, and shoutout to the part of me that wakes up at 3AM with another “wait what if I built this” idea. Let's see what August brings.
