Three phones over the snowy Flatirons: picking the 14ers you've climbed, a planned Quandary sunrise hike, and a profile with its summit log.
The peaks grid with filters, a count of peaks summited, and checkmarks on the ones you've climbed.
Logging a summit of Mount Elbert: date, route, photos, a note, and whether it's public or just for you.
Planning a hike in three steps: the plans feed, the create activity form, and the finished plan for a Quandary sunrise with its host, details and a request to join.
A hike's weather for the day and its message board, where the group sorts out parking, microspikes and timing.
A hiker's profile with peaks bagged and a summit log of dates, routes, notes and photos.

SumUp AI Promotions

Pre-launch

I'm designing AI that writes loyalty promotions for small-business owners, and says how sure it is.

It hasn't shipped yet, so the details stay off the site for now. I'm happy to walk you through it in person.

Fifty8

Intro

Colorado has 58 peaks over 14,000 feet and a passionate community of people trying to climb them. Finding a partner for a specific peak on a specific day means juggling forums and group texts, and fitness apps like AllTrails and Strava simply aren’t built for it. So people end up summiting solo, which carries real risk.

Build

I designed Fifty8 in Figma, then had Claude Code build it straight from the Figma file over MCP, on React, Vite, Supabase and Vercel. The design file became the build, with no spec to retype, and it went from Figma to shipped in a week. The core loop is simple: browse peaks, see who’s going, join a hike. I iterated and added features as I spoke to fellow hikers and learned their pain points.

Platform

I made it a progressive web app instead of a native one. Joining a hike should never start with an app-store install.

Where Claude got it wrong

Claude Code built out the summit logs as a generic table of stats. I redesigned them in Figma, allowing for more personal touches, and had them rebuilt. If it matters, I design it first.

Impact

Fifty8 is live at fifty8.co with real accounts. Friends use it to plan big weekend hikes, with live weather and a message board for every peak. I’m refining it over the winter, ahead of the real push in spring when the snow starts to melt.
