Saw this post from Telegram's CEO today (paraphrased)

✨ Designers × AI
The mockup era is over. Today’s AI tools give every designer a superpower: you can now craft your ideas, not just draw them.
The gap between “what if…?” and “look, it works!” has never been smaller, and that changed how we build features in Telegram.
✔️ We accept
– Working, ready-to-implement code
complemented by
– A demo video of your feature in action
🗑 We no longer accept
– Static mockups
– Demo videos with no code behind them
– Text-only concepts
No coding background? Curiosity, attention to detail and a good prompt will take you far.
The future of design isn’t drawn – it’s built.
🚀 Let's build it together!
(An example of what is possible by our iOS designer – this is a ready to use implementation not a motion video.) 👇
Maybe I'm wrong, but Figma will be used to archive final design versions, while the codebase remains the source of truth. Build designs in the codebase using components and the design system, then use Claude or Codex to update Figma.
Thought about getting the blue tick! 💙🤔 but for a fresh account like mine, is it really worth it yet? It's a 'maybe later' kind of vibe. Prioritizing budget-friendly moves for now. 💸😆
