New in Play/iOS 26 🚀
Now I can finally make delicious Liquid Glass Metaball Buttons using @createwithplay built in Glass Effect Container in iOS 26/MacOS Tahoe!

@alexandroff_h
@phantom AI — closed alpha 😁
No seriously, I wouldn’t mind having smth like this.
Prototyped with @createwithplay ✨

I embarked on an exciting quest to craft custom haptics for an audio-haptic experience. The result? A haptic strings simulation that brings audio and haptics together for a more immersive, holistic interaction.

@thuyrannosaurus
Had some fun this week recreating Apple’s iconic volume knob from iOS 6 (2014)! 🎛️
A 10-year anniversary deserves a proper nostalgic homage—complete with brushed aluminum, gyroscope, haptics, textiles, and gloss—using @createwithplay
Alexander Shatov
@alexbemore
I’m building my first iOS app solo, inspired by @jsngr, @Stammy, @gabrielvaldivia & @sekachov.[...] All designs and the prototype is built in @createwithplay.

Just built an interactive prototype of one of my concepts! The app helps users find the nearest charging stations and monitor their car’s charging process in real-time. ⚡🚗
Made in @createwithplay

I just tried out the new @createwithplay 2.0 and I have to say, it's super exciting! I've never had such a smooth experience of prototyping before. The new Triggers & Actions are just amazing. Now, I can finally create my to-do list!
