A quick experiment to see if I could take a static mockup in Claude design to a real, dynamic web application, without ever pulling the code locally.
Spoiler alert: It worked! Surprisingly well, surprisingly fast.
I start with a community photo gallery designed in Claude, export the project archive, and drag-and-drop it onto Netlify to get a live URL in seconds. Then, with a single prompt to a Netlify agent run, the static mockup becomes a full app: authentication, a database with seeded posts, image uploading, and an interactive gallery — no manual wiring.
