The first version of Flowdium was about design annotation. Then Figma added annotations, so I paused it. Now the problem is different. AI agents need more than notes on a screen. They need product context, logic, edge cases, and the data behind the design.

A few months ago, I started building 'Flowdium' for better design documentation and annotation and to help communicate with developers, to cover for the lack of using Jira. But with Figma's new Dev Mode features, I think I should archive Flowdium!

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

We’ve been rebuilding Flowdium over the last few months. We rebuilt it for the way design tools are changing. Flowdium helps you prepare your designs for AI agents using your own product data, not patterns.

100M UI generated by Stitch @StitchByGoogle 🙄

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

Vibe coding still needs a complete design if you want a good UX, without that, you either build an incomplete product, or something that looks like thousands of other products.
Vibe coding without design is a myth.

This week, I created Design Skills for Claude. The original version was a UX checklist I published on Github almost 9 years ago, so you can use it as an AI agent skill to review your app UX. I’d love to hear your feedback.

Instagram added a feature called Instants. But where do you find it to view or send Instants? Inside DMs, in the bottom-right corner. Honestly, if you were a product designer and placed a feature like this in your portfolio, you would probably get rejected 😅

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

I really enjoy generating designs with Claude Design and other AI design tools. But honestly, design is not just generating UI from patterns, the same way engineering is not just generating code!

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

I can never trust a company that uses an AI recruiter. Feels like they’re more interested in collecting data to train models than actually hiring people!

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

Claude Design is really good. It takes design engineering to the next level. You can quickly build design systems or prototypes, and it works well with Claude Code. The editing tools are nice too. But after 2 prompts, you hit the limit 🥴

Very disappointed with Novo. They closed my bank account with no warning or notice or email because of “inactivity.” Support is very poor. I will not use this bank again for my business @Novo_HQ 👎

My contributions as a designer, shipped, not just pushing pixels, 6 mobile apps, 10 web apps. From React & React Native to SwiftUI. This is what design engineering looks like.

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

Built a full design system in under 10 mins using just MCP and a single prompt with Claude Code + Paper. Design engineering just leveled up @paper 👏

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

My design engineering workflow lately:
Figma ↔ Claude Code ↔ Figma
Design, Generate Code, Refine, Repeat.

After a long time, I finally built an iOS app. I used to rely on different tools to organize daily notes, people, locations, expenses, and activities.
So I built Logbook to keep all of that simple and in one place. It’s now on TestFlight for iOS: https://t.co/9sAWdWIGJ0

[Dylan Field @zoink]

Design is the new code.

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

Love this. Designers who build will lead in the AI era. Worth following @firstofkind

First of Kind: SEASON 2 begins Wed, Feb 11

@firstofkind is the story of software design told by its pioneers. The future belongs to designers who build.

We return next week with 6 new episodes.

Every life taken is a family shattered, a community broken, and a future stolen.

To the people of Iran: you are not alone.
I see you. I hear you. I stand with you!

Killing civilians is not “security.” It is violence. It is oppression. It is unacceptable.

The people of Iran deserve life, freedom, and dignity. They deserve to speak, to protest, to exist—without fear.

I stand with the Iranian people! #PeopleOfIran

And… it was a bug, back to limits 🥺 #ClaudeCode

[Parham Baghestani @parhamb]

Did Claude Code remove hourly & weekly usage limits? Is this a bug or a product change? Either way, enjoying the unlimited usage for now 😁 #Claude #ClaudeCode
