We never opened Figma
The delivery-app mockup went from logo to touchable, online product in under 24 hours, with no design tool in the loop. Why draw a picture of software when you can hand over software?
// trace: where this idea came from
- ↳ video diary @ 15:21 (para qué Figma)
- ↳ video diary @ 12:31 (menos de 24 horas)
- ↳ Entry 10-2: See it before you build it (ver antes de construir, versión terminal)
Jorge asked for a mockup of the delivery app, assuming Figma or Canva. What he got instead, in under 24 hours, was a working front end live on a subdomain ▸ 12:31: create shipment, schedule pickup, summary, loading screen, courier assignment, profile, shipment history with filters, a Bogotá map. Several of those screens nobody requested; Cline with Gemini 2.5 Pro added scheduling and profile pages on its own ▸ 15:14.
The pipeline, now standard: Julia rebrands the logo, prompts get written per screen, and the “design tool” is the coding agent itself. The confession that marks the era: “this year when we started the company I used Figma; now I haven’t even updated it” ▸ 7:52. And the principle: para qué Figma, if you can already have something you can touch, something you can feel ▸ 15:21. Entry 10-2 said see it before you build it; the terminal version is stronger: the seeing and the building merged. A mockup is a promise about software. This is software.
el mockup ES el producto, sin conectar →
Positioning line worth engraving, since the idea itself isn’t novel: we’re not reinventing the wheel, we’re putting the wheel on a new vehicle ▸ 13:21, with the UX thesis funded by his own 3D-printing years, when shipping one small package could eat half an hour of form-fighting.
Jorge’s discipline completes the entry: don’t build the real platform yet. First call his old contacts, build the cost spreadsheet, run shipments semi-manually, and only invest in the full system around 100 users and 2,500 monthly in earnings, tantear el terreno before committing the build ▸ 18:58. The 24-hour mockup makes that discipline cheap to obey: when demos cost a day, you can afford to test before you construct…
