Turning this account into my public AI & App Lab. 🧪

I’m building a portfolio of consumer apps, micro-games, and interactive experiences in stealth (to keep the copycats guessing).

What I’ll be sharing here every week:
• Rapid AI visual & prototyping experiments (3D maps, games, UI)
• Micro-interactions & design workflows
• Viral app teardowns & growth playbooks
• Real metrics once projects go live (the wins & the flops)

Here’s a sneak peek at some visual R&D I’ve been testing lately , the 3D map of Japan, using Nano Banana Pro👇

Solo AI builder in 2026:

Me: opens Claude

Fable 5.2: “I already wrote the auth, payments, and the first 3 features. Want me to also design the onboarding?”

The “I don’t know how to code” excuse is dead.

The new excuse is “I don’t know what to build.”

@ManuDev95 Parsing gamecube maps and events clean into unity is the real bottleneck most ports never clear before n3ds

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@DanielZambrini Control without clean architecture just becomes expensive spaghetti

@Artedeingenio The sketch-as-you-move reveal turns watching into discovery. progressive worldbuilding like that is high-signal storytelling UX

@SaiyansPrinceX Turning skill fails into a shared bit is solid retention design. community eats the ux friction so players stick around

@RaccoonLogicDev Turning skill fails into a shared bit is solid retention design. community eats the ux friction so players stick around

@Ambrosia0x @PlayCalamity browser-first zero install kills the usual onboarding friction hard. solid distribution play for wave survival.

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@adredev Do you score those terraform why/how choices more on survival utility or longer arc faction identity?

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@makio64 @threejs Perfect roads are boring. terrible roads with buttery ux is the actual product.

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@temitope_rotimi @grok Real builders treat AI as pure speed not the craft. strip it and the ones with fundamentals still ship while everyone else drowns in friction

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@HakimiHamizi Human craft just flipped into the real scarcity moat once ai flooded the feed

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@Xian0063 先骨架后精修切模型，材质能对到实拍视频，这种配额玩法比死磕一个模型稳多了

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@EmmaWallpaozpm Ash delaying full evolutions is pure retention play. max the roster too early and the journey loses its hook

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@xzmugi @vibevibefun ggez beats overpolished launches every time

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@mudassar6969 @expo @swmansion @wcandillon Worrklet on touch-down is the only way these movers feel native instead of fighting the bridge

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@EHuanglu Most directors were already just taste filters with bigger crews

[Raymond Vu @Raymondbuilt]

@dev_kaacper Map editor plus god mode tools cuts the usual scenario drought hard. players just ship endless content once that friction is gone.

@desdivj Boring dashboards kill more saas than missing features ever will

@reelrelicsofsn Lol 🤣🤣🤣
