How you design a landing page that feels like one cohesive system:
Typography does the heavy lifting: a bold, compact hero; clear section headings; and body copy that’s easy to scan. Each size has a job.
The first screen answers three questions fast: What is this? Who is it for? Why should I care?
One accent color marks the actions that matter. Supporting colors stay quiet so the CTA never has to compete for attention.
Sections follow a rhythm: promise, proof, product, then action. Each scroll gives visitors a reason to keep going.
Cards, screenshots, and testimonials share the same spacing, corner radii, and visual language - even when the content changes.
Mobile isn’t a squeezed desktop layout. Headlines reflow, images are recropped, and the CTA stays easy to reach.
Once those rules are set, the page stops feeling like a stack of sections and starts feeling like the product itself.

This guy used Claude to build a compass that points toward the nearest public toilet - and called it “Compiss.” 😂
It sounds like a joke, but it’s a genuinely useful product.
The creator felt that finding public toilets through existing map apps was unreliable, so he used Claude CLI to generate the code, visual assets and end-to-end tests for a dedicated toilet-finding app.
Compiss works like a combination of Waze and a compass.
Open the app, and it points you toward the nearest public toilet. You can filter locations by accessibility and whether they’re free, check cleanliness ratings, and add comments or photos for other users.
Claude also helped build an Apple Watch version, making it possible to find the nearest toilet without taking out your phone.
The app is now available on both iOS and Android - with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases.
This is one of my favourite examples of AI-assisted development.
It isn’t another generic chatbot or productivity wrapper. It takes a simple, slightly funny problem and turns it into a real product that could be genuinely valuable for travellers, families, pregnant people and people with disabilities.
The barrier between “I wish this existed” and “I shipped it” keeps getting smaller.
Sometimes the best startup ideas begin with a very urgent problem.

This guy built an operating system from scratch using Claude - and got it running on a real laptop.
Not a Linux distribution.
Not a themed desktop.
An actual DOS-like operating system that boots from a USB.
He started with an old Lenovo Yoga and a simple workflow:
Describe the goal → let Claude implement it → compile → boot it on real hardware → report what broke → repeat.
The first versions were a mess: scrambled graphics, no keyboard or mouse support, no sound, and constant crashes.
But after days of testing and iteration, the project evolved into an OS called EMBER.
It now has its own boot process and graphical interface, support for keyboards, USB mice, touchpads and touchscreens, an on-screen keyboard, a file manager, an audio player, a resource monitor, and compatibility with classic DOS software.
It can even run Doom, Prince of Persia, Alley Cat and other DOS programs - with Sound Blaster and PC speaker emulation.
The biggest lesson here isn’t that AI can produce thousands of lines of code.
It’s that building with AI still requires someone to define the vision, test the output, identify failures, reject bad approaches and keep steering the system toward something that actually works.
AI handled most of the implementation.
The human provided the direction, judgment and persistence.
This is what “vibe coding” looks like when it meets real hardware.

Claude: I’ve generated the code
Developer: Can you also test it, deploy it, write the documentation, attend the meetings, and explain it to the client?

Hot take:
There’s no reason to use a cli agent over a gui alternative. Y’all are just being performative
