Three weeks ago, deep in mango season, @iruhdam24 and I were sitting around on a regular Thursday in Bangalore, talking about all the mango varieties showing up across the city, and figured we'd build a small site over a weekend with Claude to show off the Indian ones we grew up with.
Then we started remembering every other mango we'd eaten on our travels, the Nam Dok Mai in Bangkok, the soft sweet ones across South East Asia, each with its own season and its own name back home.
Indian mangoes are some of the best in the world, they're just not the whole story. So the weekend idea grew into Mangoes of the World, an interactive atlas with 29 most popular varieties to start with, across 10 countries, with their origins, seasons, flavours and the culture around each one. More varieties, real mango images and mango-tree images, and a few sponsored spots are on the way.
We're both designers, so there's craft tucked into every corner, and I'll be sharing a few details I enjoyed baking in, over the coming days.
This fun build over the last few weeks was possible using a suite of wonderful tools — @linear, @claudeai, @midjourney, @figmaweave, @sketch, react-globegl (Three.js globe), Vite, React & Typescript, @framermotion, @radix_ui and shipped on @Cloudflare.
Made with my fellow designer and collaborator Madhuri @iruhdam24, under our studio @huegrid. Go explore and discover a mango you've never met ›› mangoesoftheworld.com 🥭

Every time I forget to orchestrate execution via @cursor_ai Composer 2.5, @claudeai Opus 4.8 reminds me how weak it is with it. 🤦🏻♂️

After 6 months of agentic building, currently I’ve settled with @cursor_ai with Composer 2.5 as execution partner and @claudeai Code with Opus 4.8 as thinking partner and they pair wonderfully well.
Here’s how I currently orchestrate building anything with code, that requires more than 2 sessions. 🪄

Especially if given just enough context and plan upfront, agent fan out can save much time.
Here’s one of my sessions where agents are spawned as part of @claudeai Workflow to author multiple projects simultaneously.
If done linearly using same agents, this would have taken days. Now, it’s a 15m task. 🎉
havent seen many people outside anthropic ultracode yet. this thing is scarily good at burning tokens but you need to set up your repo to parallelize properly to make use of the fanout that i think subagents are best at.
basically the idea is "subroutines but intelligent". when you undersatnd just how much knowledge work is just yakshaves after yakshaves that require some judgment and intelligence, you start to appreciate that dynamic workflows are not just for coding tasks...

Use tools to extend your competence, not replace it -- otherwise they become your ceiling instead of your floor.

No secret I'm critical of some of Apple's icons lately, but they nailed the update for Image Playground.

Creativity in LLMs is quite far away from being impressive and to be called experts at, even with Claude’s Fable 5.
Needs heavy visual feedback loops, training deeper on vision and tightening the language and vision capabilities together.
i think the models are great and do amazing things day to day
and then i go to use them as a brainstorm partner for creative work and they are just horrible, no amount of steering gets them to be even slightly better
makes you think about what these things actually are

The new @Apple Safari’s auto-topic tab organisation using Apple Foundation Models across iOS 27, MacOS 27 is one of those tiny but mighty features. 👌🏼

Good to see the new @Apple Siri handle simple requests well enough for a beta, esp. with actions.
This cuts most of my dependence for small asks in @perplexity_ai which doesn’t handle writing to files locally. 🤷🏻♂️

Composer 2.5 is a great model. Designs well directly (even interactions) in html (not via Figma or Paper). I’ve used it only for prototyping and throw away code so can’t comment on quality but @arjunphlox seems impressed by it.
Composer is so freaking cheap still. Other models are good too but work on API pricing so you’ll run out in 10 days.

Been waiting but before we talk about the power of harnesses, it's high time Claude Code or Codex or Cursor move out of a single window, esp. when MacOS has such robust window and space management.
The 2 dimensional paneling can only go so far. Seeing even 4 sessions in a single window is high friction and a cognitive overload, if the same window exists in various contexts and if each session has it's own set of supporting panels to be opened up.
Panels are clutter to manage if organizing is limited to them. Windowing helps group sessions with related other windows and preserve context.

This has been pretty much my experience, and could notice the lack of intelligence in just a few sessions with Open AI’s GPT-5.5, although it’s good with addressing general task objectives. 🔨
On other hand, Claude Opus intelligence and its shape can be felt in almost every thinking-based task. 🧠
For execution, I haven’t seen a model better than Cursor’s Composer 2.5, a true companion for Claude Opus. 🚀 👌🏼

I don’t know how to put into words why Claude Opus is so much better than GPT
So I’ll try to explain with a bunch of examples instead:

Not every idea starts on paper.
When @iruhdam24 and I thought of the Mangoes of the World site, we intuitively knew people should be able to share their fav mangoes.
After cracking the core visual style (pixel-art style) for the mangoes, a story for another day, as we played with putting the data together, we were reminded of our Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z cards we already own. So we thought — why not a Mango Card? 👀
But that needs shaping the mechanics of the card. More below ↯↯

Getting the core identifiers (the mango images) though, that deserves another thread.
Meanwhile, go find your fav Mango Card on the site and share away, there are also rarely known stories hidden in the cards. 👀
Here's my fav mango! 🥭 😋

Loved designing and engineering the shuffle/slot machine interaction that can help you discover a mango. 🎰
It works even you flick and scroll on the bottom mango selector list. The shuffle button is for easier discovery.
Many other details on the site.
Go check and share your fav mango. 🥭

A fun detail @arjunphlox and I worked on is to introduce a shuffle feature for the atlas. you can click on the shuffle icon in the list in the bottom and discover a new mango around the world 🗺️
go find a mango to try today 🥭
