i’m back.

I found a critical issue in my app last night, after I burned through 103,742 ElevenLabs credits in a few hours.

I was hitting the API multiple times over and over and over again…pretty costly for an immersive audio app.

Implemented IndexedDB in minutes, giving me persistent storage on sessions!

Which tool did you use?

what is it about ‘fleet demo’ that teams don’t understand…

I don’t want to see a ppt, demo something…

Golden. I love this.

The Death of Stock Photos (and What You Should Use Instead) Say goodbye to staged smiles and fake dashboards. Let’s build visuals that actually work.

stock photos are finished.

THEY. ARE. DEAD. 🪦

read more about this and what you should use instead, only in this weeks 'The Atomic Builder' - a newsletter that empowers creators to build with AI.

don't settle on stock...you're better than that...

No fluff.

All real examples.

What works, what breaks, and how to iterate like a creative director.

I’m writing this for product people, founders, and side project hackers who want to move faster without hiring designers or learning complex tools.

Part 3 → How to build an entire brand identity with just prompts

Part 2 → How to replace stock photos with branded, original visuals

Part 1 → How to create product mockups (UI, dashboards, landing pages)

There’s a difference between prompting something fun and actually using it in a landing page, pitch deck, or product launch.

So I’ve been testing workflows and documenting the process — and I’m turning it into a 3-part series:

I’ve been playing with the new ChatGPT image model.

No Figma. No Photoshop. No templates.

Just prompts → real, usable product visuals.

It’s fast.

It’s kind of addictive.

And honestly? Way more powerful than I expected.

But also: it’s messy...
