How do you fix bad UI/UX when you're the only one on the project?

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.
