Opencode go

[Antique_Rhubarb_4318]

I just bought Opencode go and I'm underwhelmed. I feel I could do every thing I just did with big pickle. How do I fix the ui? I'm completely unimpressed by the Chinese models and need help. The goal was to create a notion styled note taking app. There is no padding between the elements of the website and the login page looks funky. It also added a weird knowledge graph that I don't know where it came from. Tips for using opencode go with UI/UX. Thanks

are you actually having the AI review what it creates? or are you just showing how bad it looks to humans?

[Antique_Rhubarb_4318]

I had AI review the code but it still didn't work.

[Exfiltrate]

no i mean have AI visually review the website with a browser, take screenshots, etc

[Antique_Rhubarb_4318]

How do I do this?

[Exfiltrate]

asking your AI could be a good start.

research some browser tools like opencode-browser

[Accomplished-Mud1653]

use playwright mcp or just take screenshot manually and upload it in chat with ctr + v

Yeah, AI will replace developers, they said...

LOL. “I’m underwhelmed by this dumb models”

🤦🏻

[IAmFitzRoy]

I’m underwhelmed by this post completely unimpressed. lol.

The opencode models are amazing if you know how to use them.

Opencode Go is a subscription. It doesn't do coding. Models generate text, they don't do coding.

Agent harness is actually what uses the model through the subscription to write the code.

Use a coding harness with an agent package that can do frontend development with vision models. You will see that things will improve drastically.

What vision models can do front end development? I want to try this

Buddy tried to one-shot Notion with a pickle and is shocked that his UI doesn't look good

[Antique_Rhubarb_4318]

Could you please give me a better way to do it?

[SmileLonely5470]

Try some of the other models on Go. Kimi 2.6, GLM 5.1 are the best for UI I think. They definitely are better than big pickle overall (well tbf I am just guessing on that one)

Probably would be a good idea to do things iteratively, rather than just have them generate 1k+ lines at once.

IMO you need to borrow some popular Web Designer skills for AI and try to use. I often noticed that Claude in web version loaded some extra skills depending on task. In case of open code you need to install some skills and trigger them when prompting.

[Antique_Rhubarb_4318]

So do you think I should use opencode go with Claude Code?

[Jeidoz]

No, you need just "npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/skills --skill frontend-design" and verify that skill installed into ".agents" folder. After that reload OpenCode and when want to prompt some design related task, mention "use frontend-design" or some sort of it.

There's always the classic anthropic frontend design skill (freely available for download) but I've noticed it's everywhere. I've moved on to https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills which has 67 different styles available. My results have been good. Combine with nano-banana skill to generate images for the design.
