... something annoying with AI-assisted frontend work. The agent could implement the requested feature correctly... and still make the product feel slightly worse. Not because the code was broken. It would change things like: spacing conventions button hierarchy loading statesemptystates

... That's not the same as this not applying to you. What I'd actually do, and it's an afternoon, not a quarter: Write down every surface where your product talks to a user or produces content onboarding, emptystates, email, push, the export. The obligation is per-surface, and the one you forget is always the automated email. Check your input channels, not your feature names. Text-only or biometric decides whether 50(3) is your problem ...

... currently stops: AI generates screens, but product experience lives in the sequence between them. The happy path is basically solved. What doesn't come out of a prompt is what happens when someone is confused, hesitant, or something broke emptystates, the permission ask that feels invasive, the error that doesn't say what to do next, the ability to undo something. None of those are visual problems, so a tool optimizing for a good-looking screen has no reason ... ... been everything around it. For example, onboarding. The individual screens can look perfectly fine, but the sequence can still feel too long, confusing, or ask for something before the user understands why it matters. The same applies to

... been building our product for more than two years, and one thing I've realized is that a product can be functional long before it feels finished. The major features may already work, but small inconsistencies, unclear onboarding, unfinished emptystates, minor bugs, or confusing copy can still make the whole experience feel early. At the same time, waiting until everything feels perfect is an easy way to never ship anything. For us, the hardest part has been deciding where ...

... immediately feels more trustworthy. Real examples, transparent pricing, and honest messaging matter more than looking overly polished. Comment from Wasil Abdal(@wasil_abdal): @jyotipathak__  That s a great point. Small details often say more than big claims. When emptystates, loading screens, and simple interactions feel thoughtful, it shows the team actually cares about the full user experience, not just the first impression. Comment from Wasil Abdal(@wasil_abdal): @rakee_kumari  Yes, exactly. A clean landing page helps ... ... questions. Comment from Jyoti Pathak(@jyotipathak__): For me, I start trusting a new SaaS when it feels like someone actually cared while building it. Not just the landing page, but the small stuff too like buttons, loading

... years: editing local JSON files hardcoding mock states running proxy tools setting up mock servers intercepting requests with external apps But I still felt the workflow was slower than it should be especially when debugging edge cases like: empty

... visible at a glance Google Drive backup and restore, so Pro users can keep a safe copy of their journal Gentle starter prompts to make it easier to begin writing when you don't know where to start New emptystates across the app to make the experience feel clearer and more thoughtful More polish in Light Mode and premium flows Still is a private space to write what you can't always say out loud, and this update pushes ...

... marketing platform, this is totally fine for production, users care about whether it works, not whether a human designer touched it. The one thing worth auditing is accessibility and how it handles edge cases like errors or emptystates, since AI usually nails the main flow but misses the details. Comment from Sergey Kargopolov(@sergey_kargopolov): @vik_sh  I guess time will show but until now, making changes was pretty easy and accurate. Things don't break and work ...

... cases, more workflows to test. So we stopped debating it. No justification, no comparisons. We just shipped it. Comment from Asti Pili(@asti_pili): Also, if anyone has strong opinions on dark-mode pitfalls (contrast, accent colors, charts, shadows, emptystates), I m all ears. We re going to keep polishing based on feedback. Comment from Asti Pili(@asti_pili): @tereza_hurtova  yes, totally agree. I am also team - "Light mode" so I understood the pain but didn ...

... makes sense better to tune density and gameplay before scaling. From a product perspective (we ve worked on similar mobile + real-time interaction apps at Mobiwolf), the biggest risk isn t tech it s maintaining energy in the system . Emptystates kill apps like this fast. One idea: Consider adding solo warm-up or AI-driven challenges so users can engage even without friends initially. Curious what s your current DAU

... together. Prompting Tips That Actually Work Be spatially specific. Use keywords like "left", "right", "centered", "aligned to bottom", "spaced evenly" to help the model place elements correctly. Mention device behavior. If it should behave differently on mobile vs desktop, say so. Ex: "stacks on mobile, grid on desktop". Use visual vocabulary. Mention familiar UI terms like "modal", "toast", "card", "hero section", or "split view" to tap into known design structures. Give UX intent. Add the why: "Add white space ... ... complex prompts, list in steps: "First, add a header. Below that, place a form with two inputs...". AI loves structure. Say what not to do. If you want to avoid scrollbars, animations, shadows, etc., say so. Don t forget empty

... where the magic happens. We re playing with ideas like: Warm, localized welcome messages from partners Soft check-in reminders phrased like a friend, not a bot Little Did you know? about these gems And making sure even our emptystates feel like an invitation, not a dead end Thanks for asking and for reminding us that the soul of a product often lives in the tiniest moments. Would you like me to keep you in the loop when ...

... make smarter decisions. Before building anything, design the simplest version of your app on tools like Figma, Framer, or Bubble. Be clear about why you re making it. Define every action and feature in detail like error messages, emptystates, warnings, loading screens, etc. Learn basic security principles on YouTube. After you build your app, ask the AI to help with writing unit tests, finding memory leaks, and suggesting code improvements. Try writing pseudocode or flowcharts first. Use tools like ...
