Designer who ships. Building Stage

About

I design products, and then I build them. Right now that's Stage: the whole team collaborates and catalyse decison making. Stage gets your AI to fix the comments, and design and product sign off on the exact version. I built all of it myself: the app, the Claude and Cursor integration, the CLI, sign-off, the Linear and Jira hand-off, and the website. I've spent 6+ years shipping products at Flipkart, The Economic Times, Spinny and Meraki Labs, and lead product at Leverage Edu. Somewhere along the way, I stopped handing off designs and started shipping them. Most days I'm building on ideas that intrigue me. Ask me about design, building with AI, or how teams decide what ships.

Stage - Review, fix and sign off working prototypes and products

Publish a working prototype from Figma, Claude, Cursor or GitHub. Designers, PMs and engineers pin comments on the exact spot. Stage gets Claude to fix them in v2. Design, then product, sign off, and Stage files the Linear or Jira ticket. Reviewers are free

Creative feedback is a PROBLEM! How are people handling it?

I run multi-client creative work (video, ad scripts, photography) and feedback always ends up scattered across WhatsApp, email, and Figma comments. Half the time nobody's sure which version actually got approved.
Curious how others handle this, especially freelancers and small agencies juggling several clients at once.
Is your bottleneck getting clear feedback, keeping versions straight, or something else entirely?
