@arcane_bloom Welcome to blr! Sweet setup

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@bnj @variantui @bnj @bulhosa I feel like I'm burning through credits wayy too quickly haha!

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@bnj hey please can we choose the number of screens we want to generate

6 at once on a paid plan is making me waste my credits on things I don't want multiple variants on

it's great for exploring - but I don't want high quality generations being wasted

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@bnj @jsngr Hey @bnj - possible to generate ui programatically?

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@srotimi_ui @JayPROb01 @paper how'd you get that animation so clean - uff!

@next_gendev dm please?

@bulhosa Hey Daniel - I love using @variantui

I had an app idea for which I wanted to know if I could variant programatically (create + pull designs) using the subscription

One of the coolest in person demos at #wwdc26 was @lmstudio running massive local models on 4 daisy chained Mac Studios with a total of 2tb memory

Then they pulled out an iPhone and chatted with those models remotely over a secure connection

I need to find a use for this

from apps to material

software used to be something you opened

an app was a room with walls: calendar here, notes there, music there, work there. each one had its own logic, buttons, its own little kingdom. the user moved between kingdoms, carrying context in their head

but ai starts to break the walls

software becomes less like a destination and more like material. something you shape, combine, stretch, ask, remix, and leave behind as traces. a document can become an app. a conversation can become a workflow. a song can become a memory. a task can become an agent. the boundary between using and making gets blurry

the old model was: choose the right tool for each task

the new model is: express the shape of the thing you want, then refine it with the system you built

this changes the role of the interface. ui is no longer only fixed views for fixed functions. it becomes a surface where intent turns into structure. the best interfaces will feel less like menus and more like clay – responsive, persistent, inspectable, and alive

apps won’t disappear. rooms are still useful. but the deeper shift is that software stops being a set of sealed containers and becomes a medium people can think through

like paper, but executable
like language, but spatial
like memory, but programmable

software stops being something only programmers make

it becomes material anyone can shape

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@ferdname @balajis but what if other versions become popular and the new network effect is democratised? like we have "director's cuts" of movies today

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@amanshakya0018 I'm not able to DM you for some reason

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@amanshakya0018 Dm - I'm hiring

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@allgarbled Too accurate

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@Kenneth @variantui Happy to get on call and show you a web app we built using variant x claude

[Ankith Mathew @AnkithMathew]

@kail_designs @paper Got it - was just working on the same workflow - and was wondering if paper had a preview component feature
