I built @WenderAI, the fastest way to design anything. VP of Product at @glideapps, building GlideOS.

Wender is the fastest AI design tool... and it's live on @ProductHunt today! I have worked SO hard to make Wender a great experience and useful tool, and it would mean the world to me if you would check it out and RT this post.

Been saying forever that AI safety debates are like if humans had just invented guns and everyone was debating whether or not the guns will come alive and kill us, but no one is saying “Hey what if a human picks up the gun though?” This month people started picking up the guns.

@notevengood_ Listened start to finish countless times

John, we love you, but calling other people bad designers when this is the iOS experience on your site is wild.

I haven’t quite cracked multiplayer yet. I’d love to make Wender desktop 100% free. As in zilch. Zip. No money to me. Just add your Wender files to your repo to share. But designers love live multiplayer and that means server bills for me. Give me ideas if you got em.

Sneak peek of Wender desktop that fixes all the stuff I hate about Wender: design with any agent over MCP, use your actual Storybook components, full WYSIWYG editing on HTML frames. Great for editing your actual code and trying ideas locally outside your codebase.

It was tough to decide to start over but it was time because I noticed wasn't really using Wender at work. I need a Mac app. I need to use my components. I need the components to be fully interactive. I need to use Claude Code, not some crappy built in agent. I need FULL design tool point and click interactivity and freedom to design manually. I'm using this daily. I really love it, and that's my primary goal. Lots to do but it feels like I'm on the right track!

[Josh Johnson @secondfret]

I fully expect as they migrate Claude design into Claude Code that this becomes less and less useful for folks. I’ve decided not to worry about that and to simply focus on building a great AI first design canvas that works with any model and agent.

@rwdaigle ok fine https://t.co/hXAQgVT5jH

I've been pretty silent about Wender lately. This is because I've rebuilt it from the ground up to be something quite different and more useful in my own day to day work. Still tweaking but it's getting really good.

[Josh Johnson @secondfret]

@philfreo This is a truly insane reply. I am used to Siri being awful but am still surprised at how bad and useless that is.

@andrew_n_carr this is the best user simulation I've ever seen

@rafahari I was fully expecting this https://t.co/VOVWAsVZlk

This is kinda like if Norton Antivirus was also thing making all the viruses.

@pubity Those are terrible hobbit costumes

@pablostanley Amazing! Congrats!

My wife got us tickets to see @BillNye tonight for my birthday. This nerd is very excited.

[Josh Johnson @secondfret]

@zack415 Thank you!

[Josh Johnson @secondfret]

I have the best birthday an 80s kid could possibly have

Step 1: Set up bots to help you with every part of your life and job
Step 2: OMG this is amazing go bots go.
Step 3: Wow I'm getting a lot of messages from my bots
Step 4: Ignore all bots completely forever. Too much work. Leave me alone.
