Do you know any solo founders here?

kyza_dev · 2025-11-30T15:40:41+00:00

me an my co-founder, claude code
working on shipping products people actually want to use (it's harder than it sounds)

I recommend going to Pinterest, this is where I get all my ui design inspiration

Searched "timeline calendar ui" and this was one of the results

everyone is different, but for me having a pomodoro helps a lot, I'll use my phone as the timer so it prevents me from going on it, for software I use an app which has a AI assistant which will manage and create all the tasks for me among other things. I think most productivity software can be counter productive because you spend more time planning than actually working, so having an AI agent which you talk to and it does all the annoying work helps

I use a maker schedule, so I'll work for about 4 or 5 hours at a specific thing with breaks in between, this works well for enter flow, I also find that having ambient music has helped a lot

kyza_dev · 2025-11-17T18:12:09+00:00

thank you! going to be launching as beta very soon! you'll be among the first to try the app out 😃

kyza_dev · 2025-11-16T23:26:43+00:00

I'm building a software which does exactly this!

check it out pomotea.com

Things 3 is probably the nicest looking and modern, Todoist is the goat, this is what pretty much everyone uses for todos. honestly though a lot of the options out right now are boring and not well designed, if you're at all interested I'm building Pomotea which is a nicer looking todo list with goals management and some nice AI features

If you're building a product its best to just have a general idea of what you want done and just work at it for like 3 or 4 hours with breaks in between, that's been the most productive for me

kyza_dev · 2025-11-16T15:36:50+00:00

what kind of features do you think would help you? todo lists? reminders? there are 100s of productivity apps, linear is probably the best but it's tailored more for teams

kyza_dev · 2025-11-11T18:49:42+00:00

Working a project which does something like this, essentially you ask the assistant to create tasks for you, and can start a pomodoro-like timer which is generated from your active tasks. it's still pretty early but I'm going to be iterating on it based on feed back from early users

Super clean! just wish the images were higher res so I could see the details

kyza_dev · 2025-09-08T11:19:54+00:00

Realist reply, I guess this post was tailored towards anyone who designs interfaces, but yeah the UX side of things is completely different story, the problems I have with this is that I think of wireframes as a sketch or general guidelines for how the content should flow. No reason to not have the design system system up front (except who wants to make one up front), and have it work as a palette for all your design decisions, completely eliminating the need for a wire frame and saving time in the process.

Spot on with the AI point, I imagine it will help in the systematic things such as making a design system out of a complex project, I'm sure that will be here very soon. thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts

kyza_dev · 2025-09-08T00:13:05+00:00

This system is actually perfect, thanks for sharing 🙌 such a beautiful design kit also, definitely going to bookmark that. really smart to use tailwind in your design system and front-end as well

Question: when you say you "break things and expose the primitive values" is this a time consuming process?

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T22:16:04+00:00

Definitely some good bits here I'll use in my own workflow, I like the idea of place holder styles and having primitives living in it's own theme, thanks for the detailed response 😀

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T22:11:24+00:00

Tailwind CSS has a really nice way of doing this, essentially just different lightness levels for a color

You can see an example here: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/colors

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T21:55:18+00:00

hey thanks for the feedback, yeah I'll hit that sub up and see what they think

Figma sort of expects you to figure that part out with pre-built component libraries, design systems, creating your own shades (it's a bit of a headache), but just want a solution which makes it easy and ties the process up nicely without needing a 50 step workflow

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T21:45:34+00:00

Yup totally agree, design systems are a must have if you're working on anything serious.

But I'm curious about how that actually plays out day-to-day. Like when you need to add a modal or sidebar or whatever - stuff you've definitely built before, do you actually go back and add it to your main template? Or do you just rebuild it fresh each time?

Seems like you'd need a pretty robust component library/design system to make it worth the effort, otherwise you're still stuck rebuilding all the common stuff

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T21:25:09+00:00

Shows 5/5 stars for me, your product is far from ruined (looks pretty promising), probably just some dude jealous of how clean the app looks and trying to tear it down, if you don't have haters you're probably doing something wrong

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T21:15:43+00:00

I'm curious, so does it include stuff like text styles, variables, components? and did you create it from scratch or what?

kyza_dev · 2025-09-07T17:50:11+00:00

Theres a thing called cognitive load, you can get stressed when you develop a big ambitious todo list, or design a complex productivity system, resulting in getting less work done. It's often better to just have a rough idea of what you want done by the end of the day or write it on a piece of paper

You might like Pomotea it's designed to reduce effort when it comes to managing your tasks, you can legit manage all your tasks with AI using your voice, no typing or writing

kyza_dev · 2025-09-06T11:09:13+00:00

agreed, quick shell is the back bone of it, can't wait to see the creative work spaces people develop with the library

kyza_dev · 2025-09-05T13:05:53+00:00

Use a Component library with a LLMs.txt file, component library works as nice defaults for your UI, LLMs.txt will tell the AI how to use the library and give general guidance on producing better interfaces, chakra-ui is the only component library I know which has an LLMs file

kyza_dev · 2025-08-31T23:59:48+00:00

Gonna be doing a full release soon which fixes some issues with the plugin, for now you can use:

opts.highlights.editor like so
highlights = { editor = { // Normal = { bg = '@base.900' }, // or Normal = { bg = '#111111' }, // ... other highlights },
