Meldora'an Player App
A personal AI companion app for tabletop RPG players, built from scratch using Claude, Claude Code, and Figma Make.
CONCEPT
Meldora'an is the name of our homebrew RPG world — "a sweet gift that belongs to us." Between lore, rules, and session history, the overhead of a homebrew campaign can outpace the fun. I wanted a single place where players could ask questions and log moments without breaking the immersion.
RESEARCH
I'm both the DM and the user, which gave me direct access to the problem. I talked with my players about what pulled them out of the experience — the answer was always the same: too much context-switching, not enough staying in the story.
BUILD
No handoff. No dev team. Just the tools and the problem. I used Claude for the AI backbone, Claude Code for functional logic, and Figma Make to bring the UI to life. Along the way I learned to integrate Google Docs as a live content layer for campaign notes and lore, and connected Supabase for real-time data updates across the app.
TESTING & ITERATION
My players are my test group. Running the app through actual sessions gave me fast, honest feedback on what felt natural and what created friction.
WHAT I LEARNED
Personal projects punch above their weight. This one gave me mobile design reps, hands-on AI product development experience, and a reminder that the best way to understand a user is to be one.
