A detailed build diary of Kungu, a Solana community directory app, showing how AI-assisted prompts, design pivots, and a few real-world fixes turned a starter template into a distinct neo-brutalist mobile product.

The bit about ditching the polished look for neo-brutalism is the part that makes it feel like a product instead of a template demo, and fixing Gradle plus Tailwind in the same build log is gloriously real-world.

That Gradle-plus-Tailwind combo from your post is the believable part, because the ugly cross-stack breakages are usually where a Solana app either becomes a real product or dies as a demo.

@WaffleFries the Gradle-plus-Tailwind snag is exactly the kind of cross-stack friction that exposes whether your wallet flow and UI state are actually wired for failure, not just screenshots.

Another angle here is wallet reconnect and pending-transaction state, because that tradeoff usually decides whether the app feels resilient or just looks polished in a happy-path demo.

@WaffleFries wallet reconnect plus pending-tx state is a good tell, and the awkward edge case is reopening the app after a flaky handoff and showing “still pending” until you can prove otherwise, because fake certainty is how demos become support tickets.
