@rexan_wong I would love to know what makes the app feel "vibecoded" to you?

Happy to learn about the issues you've found or things that should be differently.

scale eventually exposes every compromise

consistent type
consistent spacing
consistent decisions

That alone will 10x perceived brand quality

This is really neat but it’s not a design tool as much as it’s a design _production_ tool.

The practice of design is mostly about what comes before production.

There’s no doubt in my mind that all parts of software production will become automated very soon. Writing code, making web pages, putting pieces of a design system together etc.

And that’s fine. I think few people actually enjoy this kind of production work. Wouldn’t it be better if we spent our precious time in life on what is more meaningful?!

At the core, the practice of design is methodical; like architecture, not like art. In a nutshell: We find constraints, form comprehension of the whole and propose solutions that honor those constraints. First after that do we enter some form of production phase, usually prototypes first, learn about some constraints that were hidden before, loop back, prototype and then build the production-grade “final” artifact.

These last few tasks are quickly losing value because AI tools can do it much faster (not yet better though) than humans. It’s simply just what has the best RoI for a business.

Some companies and individuals will continue to spend human time on certain parts of the “production line” as a market differentiator, but it will cost them a relatively high price compared to competitors.

Anyhow, I still haven’t seen a tool better than Figma that supports the actually-interesting part of the design process.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Figma focused their products on that, maybe separating “products for production” of “products for ideation & exploration.” The latter would obviously still leverage AI, but not to do the work for me but rather to support my efforts the way a therapist helps me live a better life (not living my life for me.)

Success is messy. It’s survival. It’s building the train while you’re riding it.

@gabrielvaldivia “We shape our tools and our tools shape us” I watch this talk at least once every year https://t.co/T1V8JxQSdn

You went far. Maybe too far. But I saw you. And I’m glad you were here ☄️

@GregorySchier Umh, I was considering to get a second display to babysit claude while I’m doing something else.

It took me 3+ hours to get through TSA at the IAH airport. Fortunately, Zipair delayed the flight 90mins to let all the passengers go through the chaos 🫶🏻

@luciferianboy We deploy a good chunk of Railway on Railway, but not enough to compromise us 😌

Attention passengers.
The new dashboard is now building.

🚉 Please stand by

[Jitachi @jitachi]

Multiple parts need polish, BUT now the Dashboard experience feels more cohesive. Everything in the workspace is now within reach.

Next, I’ll be polishing each of those settings areas, and templates, and... everything 🥌✨
