Testing MiniMax Code for frontend design: daily check-in credits plus the Frontend Design skill
future_coded · x · 2026-10-17
A hands-on walkthrough of MiniMax Code: the daily check-in gives 400 free points (stacking to 4,000 over a week, valid 30 days) — enough to properly test real frontend work without paying.
With the Frontend Design skill enabled, the author prompted for "a distinctive visual direction for this product homepage, implemented responsively" and got unique typography, a clear point of view, and intentional layout instead of the usual purple-gradient Inter-font AI template. The agent used Computer Use to verify results in a real browser.
Remote Control let the author check progress and approve steps from a phone while the agent kept working. Suggested combo: daily check-in + Frontend Design skill.
