Jul 04 💬 I think honestly the best part though is going to be the Discord community — it's already such a better vibe than a giant public server that requires tons of moderation and is full of low quality messages.

Jun 23 One thing I still like better in Cursor vs. Claude Code is I get in-browser previews for changes before accepting them, whereas with Claude Code I have to accept the change before I can see the UI change in the browser.

Jun 21 Alright getting somewhere! With the Figma MCP server and a reasonably well-structured design, I was able to build this pixel-perfect without typing any actual code myself. It took a dozen or so back and forths with the agent, but at the end the code is exactly what I would have written by hand too. Still much slower than typing it myself but have a workflow I can try to optimize now. If I can get here in < 5 prompts it'll be much faster than doing it myself. 445 14 27 50.9k 464 .
Jun 20 Today I've been trying to figure out a workflow where AI can actually help me go from high fidelity Figma design to HTML + Tailwind more quickly than I can do it by hand. So far total failure — anything I've tried looks close at a glance, but every detail is wrong, so it's not helpful. The closest I've gotten to helpful is giving it a screenshot and asking it to scaffold out just the raw HTML + content with no styles, which is sort of helpful but not super helpful. Where are you having the most luck using AI/agentic editing to build pixel-perfect UIs more quickly? Have you figured out any specific slices of the work you can carve out and hand to AI to do faster than you can do it by hand? 348 5 61 68.2k 700 .

May 31 I want to build an agent that watches for new CSS features and PRs new APIs to Tailwind based on a bunch of context about how I design APIs with a bunch of examples. Is there a platform for this, or best to just write in code and deploy myself on a server? 240 1 26 56k 257 .

May 30 This is exactly the way I've found the most success with AI-assisted programming. Think of it much more like "keyboards shortcuts on steroids" than as an actual thinking programmer conjuring up magic. You tell it exactly what to do, just in way fewer keystrokes. 273 15 14 36.2k 263 .
