Building Vault #4

Finally finished the item detail page.

Really happy with how this one turned out.

Thoughts?

@tobiadonadon_ I am

[Tobi @tobiadonadon_]

i built a skill to un-slop AI-looking apps

most AI-generated UIs still have the same problem:

they look polished, but they also look obviously AI-made

same cards
same gradients
same generic “modern app” layout
same zero-personality design

so this skill forces claude to actually think differently than it would normally do

→ starts from a real visual concept
→ explores 3 different directions
→ picks one coherent design language
→ renders the screens at iPhone size
→ scans the result for obvious AI-slop patterns
→ critiques and refines it before you ship

when everyone is shipping ai slop apps, yours has to be different to succeed

i’m giving the full skill away for free

rt + comment “stop slop” and i’ll send it over
(follow so i can dm)

@shariar_design cursor 100%

@itsonly_anoop looks amazing, nice animations!

[Darius @dardaf]

@codewithkhalil A definitely

[Darius @dardaf]

@Shubham_iosdev looks good but what if the user has reduce motion enabled?

[Darius @dardaf]

@JC_builds nice work, only thing missing is a more prominent liquid glass effect

[Darius @dardaf]

Every suggestion animates into the room with a single tap. I’ll share that interaction once my new Mac arrives and I can make better demo videos.

Building Vault #3

Starting with an empty room shouldn’t feel like starting from scratch.

Vault now suggests common items you can add with a single tap.

@theapplehub When would they release this? 2027?

[Darius @dardaf]

@TechnovityTech 2026 or 2027? Because if it’s coming this year I’m canceling my order for my M5 Max

[Darius @dardaf]

Here’s the light mode version too 👇

Building Vault #2

Completely redesigned the Add Room experience.

Before → After.

Would love some UI feedback.

[Darius @dardaf]

Building Vault #1

Printable item labels.

Print them, stick them on a box, then scan them later to jump straight back to the item.

[Darius @dardaf]

@iamvishal16_ios Hmm I see, any fix?

[Darius @dardaf]

been fighting this weird SwiftUI flicker when opening and closing an inline camera

has anyone run into this before? 👇

[Darius @dardaf]

@y_chiboub thanks! i'll do that. I'm pretty sure it's because of the .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.hard) which transitions from visible to invisible but i'll keep digging 🫡

@interfae Looks amazing ngl
