Why is UX benchmarking still so manual in 2026?
If you’re a designer, PM, or growth person, you probably know the drill: You spot a competitor flow you want to study, then you start screenshotting, naming files, pasting everything into Miro/Notion/Figma, trying to recreate the “real” navigation, and adding notes that end up scattered everywhere. It works, but it’s slow, messy, and hard to share. That’s the pain point that pushed me to start...
Anyone else here using Pencil.dev?
I’ve been using Pencil.dev for a few days and honestly it’s a big paradigm shift for how fast you can explore UI. I'm loving it!! One thing I bumped into: I still need to move some screens into Figma to polish details, collaborate, and keep everything in the same place as the rest of our design work. So I built a tiny plugin that exports Pencil.dev screens into an editable Figma file (layers...
Does founder life feel like an emotional roller coaster?
Hey folks, quick one. I’m exploring a new product to help founders deal with the ups and downs and keep a more objective view of progress. If this resonates, I’d really appreciate 1 minute of your time to fill out this short survey: https://tally.so/r/J9lkDd Thanks a lot, your input will directly shape what I build next 🙏
I built a generative art studio with GPT-5 in 3 hours (Inspired by Felipe Pantone)
TL;DR I built a small web studio that generates kinetic color compositions, inspired by Felipe Pantone’s Chromadynamica. I used GPT-5 to help shape the algorithm and Lovable to assemble the generator and the UI. It is code based, seeded, and limited to 10,000 outputs. I love Felipe Pantone’s work and wanted a piece for my new NYC apartament. I aimed for the energy, not the motifs. I DM’d Felipe...
Built a tool for fun. Now makers love it… and it’s burning a hole in my wallet. Time to monetize?
Hey everyone 👋 A few months ago I launched lovableprompts.app, a tool that helps makers and designers turn messy product ideas into optimized prompts for Lovable (and other vibe coding tools). It was meant to be just a small experiment to make the “blank page” problem less painful. But lately, it’s been growing, it now generates 4,000+ prompts per month, and I’ve seen it pop up in workflows...
Sponsorship vs. charging users, what would you do when your side project starts to grow?
A couple of months ago I launched lovableprompts.app, a tool that turns rough product ideas into optimized prompts for Lovable or others vibe coding platforms (Bolt, Cursor, Replit...) It started as a fun side experiment. Now it’s used by 10k+ users, has generated thousands of products, and is slowly becoming a core part of many makers’ workflows. But… costs are piling up (tokens, backend,...
🧠 Your first prompt sets the vibe. Get it right and everything flows
A few months ago, I kept hitting the same wall. Every time I wanted to start a new project in @Lovable, I found myself stuck on the first prompt. I had the idea in my head, but turning it into something structured and usable always felt harder than it should. So I built a small tool for myself. Something simple to turn messy thoughts into clear prompts that actually worked. I called it...
