The folks at Wall Street do not understand this does not replace Figma. Figma is targeted towards designers who create thoughtful design systems and cohesive UIs and who don't code, while this is targeted towards vibe coders who can't design. Two different circles that intersect to some level. But like you said, if anthropic adds the tools in Figma, only then they can can take customers from Figma IMO.

Tailwind is for those who could code but can’t design. Figma is for those who could design but can’t code. This is for those who could neither design nor code.

Finally a product for me!

I've said it many times since 2022: Many wrapper startups and even billion dollar companies are living on borrowed time, until the big dogs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) simply release their products as a built-in function.

This isn’t going to replace Figma. It’s going to replace the people who use Figma. My 76yo Dad just used Claude Design to make a simple commercial tenancy/lease management CRUD app. We handed what he built to Claude Code to implement within my existing business tech stack. It perfectly followed my coding & testing playbooks (basically a multi-file CLAUDE.md with prompt & command hooks to evaluate conformance). It wor…

I don't like the "I canceled my x subscription" hype posts, but I did cancel Figma today. We've barely used it in months and this was the nail in the coffin.

I reckon something like this has only been possible to develop because of how homogenous the internet has become in terms of design ever since the glass effect and drop-shadows took over in Web 2.0 and Twitter Bootstrap entered the scene. You'll get a competent UI with little effort but nothing truly unique or mind-blowing. Impressive technology, but that old skool artisanal weirdness of yore only becomes more valuab…

Screen size is probably responsible for a vast majority of the homogeneous of the internet; but that a good thing. The space has matured and horrible experiences fewer. There’s a fine line between creativity and bullshit. Less bullshitting is a good thing.

p.s. Perhaps “quirky” is less because it’s simply not fulfilling? Too often it’s visual gaslighting pretending to be design?

In those cases you’ve seen firsthand, who is actually using Claude design (or similar tools) to create the good enough design?

The important point is that 2 years ago these AI tools were like 20% percentile for UX designers, today it is as good as a junior or normal UI UX Developer, 2 years from now it will be in 90th percentile, etc

But again: who is actually using/commanding the tool to create the designs?

For my agency this won't replace Figma or designers. It's just a really useful tool to express yourself and communicate intent. Before these tools, when a client wanted a specific section built, we'd spend hours hunting references across the web. The output always ended up feeling like a mesh of 2-3 sites, never fully unique. Then we'd burn more time explaining the intent to the client's designers and devs, usually w…

This is also true for entire applications. I vibecode apps in 2 days then say: is this what you want? Then they are enthusiastic and I will say that it will take 2 to 4 weeks to properly create it. They are always confused and then I start teaching them the conceptual basics of how apps are built and what corners are cut. Clients usually listen because they know we’re near the finish line

> What kind of shadow spy network must exist around all these companies such that they all happen to be working on the same features at the same time. Stuff like that happened even before the invention of the telephone, humans within the same geographic location is even more predicable, so surely this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Yeah the spy network is just all these people living in a 7 mile radius of each other (San Francisco) and have lots of overlap in social circles

> There's no shame in being homogenous and obvious, though. The real world analog is this... The reason people (especially Americans) stay in Marriott property hotels is because they are homogenous. If all I want to do is travel to Phoenix, AZ for work I want to know that the hotel room has the same mattress, desk, TV, customer service, etc. There is real legitimate value to that. So I'll book the Courtyard in Phoeni…

Am I alone in not wanting banal homogeneity even on a work trip?

Probably after a certain quantity of work trips/year, yes.

I think we will have maybe 5 to 10 years of all this crap, devaluing human made art and human made products, vibe coding everything. But eventually it will all fall apart. Long term only a minority will be happy seeing AI generated crap everywhere and most people will pay for quality human made goods. Unfortunately it's going to be a tough few years until that happens, where it really does feel like the idiots are wi…

where would these unemployed people find money for quality human made goods

Universal Basic Income. Or from the job they get after attending a government provided green tech retraining program. Which will both happen after the revolution. Which will probably be televised, on Netflix.

The more I think about it the more this isn't good for design [EDIT], for a few reasons: - The best design is original, groundbreaking and often counterintuitive. An AI model is incapable of that, it's uninspired, it will absolutely converge to the norm and homogeneity (you see it everywhere now, just scroll on ShowHN and take a look at the UIs) and produce the safest design that appeals to its understanding of the i…
