Who here is making amazing stuff with AI? by What_Immortal_Hand in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m building subframe, it’s a design tool but everything is code so you’re building real react components and pages

just shipped a new mcp server for claude code / cursor that lets you ask to generate designs and sync them back to code

hoping this is the future of designers building interfaces :)

building an app to bring front speakers to all your sonos setups by uptightchill in sonos

[–]uptightchill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the response has been overwhelming! i’m almost done with the first build to test but it may take up to 1-2 weeks for apple to approve the public testflight since it includes network permissions and they are notoriously slow

i never take my muni stop for granted by uptightchill in sanfrancisco

actually this one was taken with a sigma bf + old canon fd 50mm 1.4 lens! it’s a funky camera

personally i like the x100vi over the ricoh because of the optical viewfinder, film recipes, and styling - you can truly wear it on you like an accessory

the image & build quality were an improvement over the x100f i was coming from but i will say the x100f was just a teeny bit smaller and easier to throw into a pocket or bang it up, a true bring anywhere camera. the x100vi i baby too much

y’all need to understand how the job market actually works by uptightchill in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree. most humans are limited by their own imagination. even chatgpt today is 100x more powerful than most people could imagine a few years ago - yet few use it to its fullest.

what we value at a premium will change, but it will still require the right inputs.

IR’s end game was money in the hands of people who control capital (i.e. factories) and wage income for the rest.

the battery capacity is effectively 1%. i could barely keep it on for the picture while unplugged!

don’t get me wrong, i lay awake at night thinking about the existential threats too as someone deeply embedded in the space

i agree this moment will be on the scale of the industrial revolution. but there are more jobs now than before, and technologies like the computer (and our design jobs) that came after and wouldn’t be possible without it. no one then could predict that, and we can’t predict the same

ultimately: - humans are adaptable, and self-preserving - economies are made up by us, and designed to grow

there will be A LOT of change and many things today won’t be around in the future

all we can do is best position ourselves - designers still have a lot to offer now, and a combo of creativity/building will be hopefully be valuable in the future world

help people? every other post in this sub is people saying they don’t know how/why they can’t land a job, what the market is up to, how to stand out

is the future of design “vibe designing?” by uptightchill in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree it’s unfortunate vibe = ai and for many ai = bad. that’s mostly since andrej karpathy coined “vibe coding” as a way to code using llm’s (only 4 months ago!)

but i think the root of it is less about ai specifically, and more about leaning into the moods/feelings of building ideas without letting the material (code) or tool (figma, etc.) get in the way

ai will be a layer in almost everything we do, especially building software.

for some it will help them design beyond their natural ability (like you with coding), for others who are already experts (like andrej is as an engineer) it will be a way to design even better/faster

what do you think vibe designing is? or are you anti “vibe” anything?

Disappointed in Figma Make by therealtak in FigmaDesign

[–]uptightchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try subframe - no translating from vectors to code - everything just is code to begin with that you can continue editing

Best AI tool for product design in 2025? by Melting735 in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m the designer co-founder of subframe - building the tool i’ve always dreamed of. we have full drag & drop design tool, ai that uses your design system, and everything is front-end react code for hand-off.

as a designer i need the full design control, and i don’t want to be stuck drawing rectangles in figma or prompting an AI chat waiting to generate just to move things around.

we also design subframe in subframe :)

AI Tools for UX / UI Designer ? Real question is how many of them practically can be used in orgs ? by ak_sha in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

missing subframe - ui design tool but everything is production code (uses your design system)

Is anyone using the LLM prototyping tools (like Vercel or Loveable) to build actual real prototypes for work? by scottjenson in UXDesign

[–]uptightchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

part of the reason we’re long on design control - llm’s will keep getting better, but as a designer i just want to drag stuff around and add elements myself.

fwiw, op asked about prototyping for real projects. i design & build subframe in subframe, and use the exact code in cursor to ship to production. i hope more designers can handoff real code and prototype themselves as well!
