If you're a designer vibe coding software with Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude code and you're tired of your UI just being AI slop...

Take a look at my workflow for getting my designs from Figma into actual code for my web app. 👇

Hey @ManychatHQ Why is my Instagram account getting restricted for automation right after I connect my Manychat account? I thought you guys were an official business partner with Meta.

@ridd_design @inflight Huge! No more waiting for someone to view your PR and respond in slack.

Grew my vibe coded consumer app to $4 MRR in 5 days!

Ask me anything!

@ridd_design @Dessn_ai Whoa, wait, I need to know more about this

[Sam Lane @Sam_Lane96]

@liammatteson So sick!

@Emarky I need this!

@ridd_design Just the beginning

This animation took me 15 minutes. No developer. No back and forth.

Little Animations were always the first cut from the scope. Too expensive for what they added. It was hard to justify the cost.

That conversation is over now. Just build it yourself

Been putting off switching to Claude Code for months. No real reason. Just comfortable with what I had.

Finally tried it and bro... why did I wait so long.

Everything just clicks.

Just make the switch. Trust me.

[Sam Lane @Sam_Lane96]

@ridd_design @paper this is huge!

[Sam Lane @Sam_Lane96]

@Qromerolauro Does this work with iOS and React Native?

[Sam Lane @Sam_Lane96]

We're approaching light speed

Excited to launch Pencil
INFINITE DESIGN CANVAS for Claude Code

> Superfast WebGL canvas, fully editable, running parallel design agents
> Runs locally with Claude Code → turn designs into code
> Design files live in your git repo → Open json-based .pen format

Codex 5.2 loses to Opus 4.5 because 95% accuracy in 30 seconds is more valuable than 99% accuracy in 10 minutes.

Doing the job right isn't good enough anymore. You have to do it fast as well.

Had I quit after my first design review with my mentor in 2020 (boy did I want to), I would have never worked with the amazing team at https://t.co/hG9fQy8IHM.

I'm really comfortable with looking like a fool now. Excited to see where this mindset will take me.

One of my favorite quotes. 👇

"The cost of growth is looking incompetent for a while. Most people decide it’s too expensive."

~ChatGPT

(after I asked for an inspirational quote about beginning something new.)

In all seriousness, though. Just start the thing.

[Sam Lane @Sam_Lane96]

I've always wanted to build my own software. And this is the first app I've ever submitted to the App Store.

It doesn't look exactly how I want, it doesn't have all the features that I want, but it works.
And I'm going to make another one, and another one, and another one.
