What did you use claude design for? I've not had much luck personally

Getting good results, frankly - however my opinion was dated to when it first came out.
Recently (since my prior post) i've been trying it for two areas:
1. A text editor, it's working great for that to flesh out ideas. The next test will be how well claude code can translate designs into actual pixel perfect (or close) graphics.
2. A game UI. This is also what i originally tried it with. So far i'm not a big fan here. But game UIs tend to be more graphic oriented, which i suspect is exactly where Design struggles with.
I imagine the more the design closely matches web pages the better claude design will work, but this is pretty heavy speculation for me.

"One small issue: the site overflows...", this issue has been fixed, thanks for bringing it to our notice.
One small issue: the site overflows horizontally on mobile, so you can scroll sideways even when there’s nothing to see.
