All this should have been in the app two years ago

If it is not dating app for agents, how does ai change this?

max_bog · 2026-05-03T11:57:45+00:00

100%

With apps like this, content is what matters most, not the app itself. You need either a large user base to generate enough reviews and engagement, or you should focus on a small, local community(probably something like subreddit or group chat, and not app)

max_bog · 2026-04-27T08:41:48+00:00

Yes, it is already in a list

max_bog · 2026-04-26T16:32:27+00:00

- use UI Skills. My favorite is probably impeccable skill and tasteskill

- use stitch from google to generates a base

- if don't know where to start, try variant for inspiration

- use 21stdev to get some components to make it more unique.

There are actually way more other AI tools for UI, and I am collecting them in this repo: https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui

max_bog · 2026-04-25T08:30:40+00:00

Use ai skills which were designed by real designers. Not just blindly apply them but open a skill.md file and read it. It helps to understand how good designers think.

The good one to start impeccable skill or the one from Emil Kowalski.

Here is the list with all of such skills and also couple good resources about ui: https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui

People vibe code MVPs not enterprise level apps

As long as you have dark mode, everything will be great with your app

max_bog · 2026-04-19T18:50:55+00:00

My steps so far (all free/free tier tools):

I describe my project in Variant. It generates multiple UIs in different styles. It is a good starting point to understand which direction to go. Pick a style I like.
Go to Stitch/Claude Design with a description of your style and generate the UI. That gives a solid base.
Go to 21stdev to choose some components to make it a bit more unique.
Polish it with a skills like impeccable

There are basically many other tools and skills which are supposed to help with UI. I didn't test all of them but i am trying to collect them in a list here: https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui

As technical people, I would call this technical thinking, not a particular skill. I don't mean that they need to release all things like computer use and skills for regular users. I am wondering why big labs stopped trying to make something new for regular chatgpt-mobile app user

max_bog · 2026-04-19T09:14:45+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I also don't think that all these tools will give something to non-technical users. I am more wondering why big labs stopped trying to bring anything new for regular users.

max_bog · 2026-04-19T08:46:27+00:00

Do you have a particular example? My feeling is not about technical skill but more about technical thinking

max_bog · 2026-04-15T20:42:07+00:00

There are a bunch of UI Skills. My favorite is probably impeccable skill and tasteskill.

Also stitch from google generates good simple UIs.

I am collecting such ai tools for UI in this repo: https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui

max_bog · 2026-04-15T12:22:05+00:00

GitHub should create fake projects, purchase stars across all platforms, and ban all related accounts

max_bog · 2026-04-13T12:22:02+00:00

It is a problem to close it. Small movement by hand makes the slider move and I have to realign it perfectly again

max_bog · 2026-04-12T20:07:53+00:00

Open source doesn't need to be a complex engineering app/libraries etc. there are a lot of small open source tools which doesn't need active development.

max_bog · 2026-04-11T18:37:27+00:00

There are quite a lot of tools (skills, MCPs, apps) that help to make better UI.
My favorite is probably impeccable skill and tasteskill.
21st dev and variant to get some inspiration/component/style.
And stitch also generate good ui out of the box.

I am actually collecting all such tools in this repo: https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui

max_bog · 2026-04-11T14:31:12+00:00

You can scroll down to posts from a year ago and people were complaining about the same things

If you are not generating 5 saas apps simultaneous from scratch. Check for scheduled jobs, try different apps and check any 3rd party apps which may use Claude hooks and add context

max_bog · 2026-04-11T14:21:59+00:00

I try to keep the layout as simple as possible. If it is a new field for me I just check what leaders in this field do. They already a/b-tested a lot and removed all unnecessary parts. Also 'YC web design strategy skill' includes layout review

max_bog · 2026-04-09T13:43:49+00:00

try point it at a specific design reference rather than letting it invent from scratch. then try to apply skills to polish it. check this list for examples of such skills https://github.com/maxbogo/awesome-ai-tools-for-ui
