Create a Treasure Map with Claude Code

6 min read

Claude Code can turn any sequence of related images into an interactive treasure map with minimal effort.

Here's how.

Step 1: Gather some related images that tell a story.

Yesterday I tried to cancel an auto-renewal of an old unused GoDaddy domain. In doing this I learned that Godaddy has a very unique automated customer service flow for doing this.

So I took a series of screenshots to document the process; my failed attempt to traverse their amazing process.

Step 2: Use Claude Code to create a treasure map layout

Once you have your images, use a prompt like this to generate the treasure map. You'll iterate a few times adjusting spacing and layout.

Take the 5 images in the /public/images/godaddy directory and create a treasure map connecting image 1 to image 2, image 2 to image 3, and so on. Use a dark background and red dashed lines with arrows to connect the images in order. Place a "Start Here" flag near image 1 and an "X Marks the Spot" near image 5. Make sure the images are large enough to see details but arranged in a fun, winding path. Add some subtle shadows and highlights to give it depth. Include a lightbox effect so clicking on an image enlarges it. Make it visually appealing and easy to follow.

Step 3: The result

Note this 'treasure map' aesthetic only makes sense on desktop, since you want zig-zagging paths / arrows connecting images. On mobile you can just stack the images vertically.
