Created a digital version of the Stream Deck by uploading a photo of the hardware macro pad to Claude and asking it to create a software version.

OH MY GOLLY, Just uploaded a pic of the elgato stream deck to Claude, and asked it to create a digital version of it AND IT DID!!! 🙀😮🤩
The stream deck is a macro pad that lets you open webpages, folders on your computer and run macro commands etc.
This lil React app was made in 10m, I am mind blown!! 🤯 You can even customise the buttons!
After work, will iterate and get it actually working so I can use it for work. LOVING LIFE.

Made it before midnight! 😴 This morning, I used Claude to create a digital prototype of the elgato streamdeck in 10m.
Tonight, I moved the code into Expo Snack, which is like a playground for React Apps that you can simulate on Web, iOS, or Android, and made it work (snack.expo.dev) 😄
I now have a digital Stream Deck that lets me add URL shortcuts, that can be grouped by folders (nested)!!! 🔗 📂
E.g. Work Magic > Spreadsheets > individual sheet link.
URL shortcuts can be moved to different folders, or completely deleted via the edit screen.
I made a better colour palette for choosing the background colour of buttons.
I'll have to turn this into a Desktop app to be able to add system level actions like opening apps or changing stuff like volume or brightness.
Buuut, totally mindblown this was possible in 10m before work for a prototype, then 4 hours after work to get this far.
Also saved me a lot of money (like hundreds) and time buying a new stream deck for work (it took me much longer than 4 hours to set up my at home version).
