i'm a product designer who started vibe-coding with AI.

now i ship real products instead of pushing pixels in figma forever

here's what i'm building and what i'll be sharing 👇

Works for anything multi-role with a lot of states. Onboarding. Billing. Social. Admin tools.

The pattern: inventory → flows → template → design.

If your next ticket still takes a week and you didn't try this — that's on you, not the tool.

Stop confusing busy with skilled.

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

Unpopular opinion: most designers use AI like a glorified Figma plugin.

That's why they hate the output.

The trick isn't prompting better. It's giving up control of the part of your job that was never design.

Here's the workflow ↓

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

Here's the part nobody wants to hear.

Most of what you call "design work" isn't design.

It's renaming layers. Hunting for the latest PRD. Arguing about screen order. Making the file look serious for stakeholders.

AI doesn't replace design. It deletes the cosplay.

@thedankoe It’s really true 😞

@minchoi Do u try higgsfield?

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@tibo_maker @MCHQ_AI @pbteja1998 running the same pattern for marketplace sellers right now.

biggest unlock for me: stopping the agent from creating tasks too eagerly.

moved from "find issues → create task" to "find issues → confirm pattern across 3+ instances → create task"

cut noise by 80%

full breakdown of how i use each tool: https://t.co/hBftbxsmGJ

(yes i built it. it's the AI tools directory i wished existed when i was figuring out my own stack)

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

my entire ai stack as a designer who ships products solo:

— claude ($100)
— chatgpt ($20)
— cursor ($20)
— figma ($15)
— runway ($15)

$170/mo. replaces a team.

what's in your stack?

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@pranjal_doorwar @heysatya_ @jaydwivedi_ https://t.co/hBftbxsmGJ — most recent solo build.
the 6-day claim was the last sprint (rebrand + new landing + launch video).

the directory itself took longer, ai mostly accelerates the front-end and copy work

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@AlphaSignalAI multi-agent setups look great in diagrams.
in practice, single claude code with good context beats most orchestration layers i've tried for 90% of real tasks

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@SimonHoiberg already living this. ex-senior product designer, now shipping 2 ai products solo — design, code, marketing, all me.

what coinbase calls "experiment" is what indie builders have been doing for 2 years

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@_akhaliq the practical version of this i ran into last week:
claude figures out my project's "skills" way better when i feed it 3-4 examples of good output than when i write rules. "show, don't tell" beats prompt engineering every time

[mxmt @matyukhinmax]

@minchoi This can serve as a defocus, while other models focus on something specific
