disappearing messages on whatsapp and telegram feel kind of fake to me. you still see chat previews, people take screenshots, and the timers are either 24 hours or a week which defeats the entire point. if someone really needs privacy like in legal stuff or whistleblowing, a message should just burn 10 seconds after reading and leave zero trace in device memory. why does nobody build actual zero footprint chat into the web instead of forcing everyone to keep message history?

UFFF

Every side project I build hits the same wall. The code works, the idea is fine, and then the interface makes it look unfinished. No designer, no budget for one.

So I'm curious how other solo builders actually handle this:

• What's your design process when there's no designer? Component libraries, copying layouts you like, AI tools, something else?

• How do you find out the UX is bad in the first place? I can tell when something feels off, but I can't articulate why so I end up changing colors instead of fixing the real problem.

Curious what your setup looks like.
