For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?

I know you don't like reading so here's TL;DR:

• Free usage even for un-signed users

• Even more usage when user signs up (still free, no credit card info required)

• Copy response button copy analysis results to clipboard in one click

• Added new native mode to detect AI slop

• TL;DR merged into Summary one streamlined mode instead of two

• Create Custom modes from Toolbar no need to open the popup

• Mode history indicators see which modes you've already used (colored dots) and instantly restore prior results (in Toolbar)

• Reliable toolbar on SPA navigation toolbar now appears when navigating Reddit links without needing a page refresh

Last year we hired a design agency to build our marketing site for @Basedash. They did an incredible job. The headline makes it sound like I'm dunking on them, but I'm not. The site was genuinely great. They built it in Framer so we could manage content ourselves, which was a completely reasonable bet at the time (and something we explicitly asked for).
