Ruby Longfelow's profile on Product Hunt

About

I spend an unreasonable amount of time staring at padding, font hierarchies and sub second animation timings. To me, a great product isn't just functional it should feel effortless and tactile from the very first click. Here on Product Hunt I’m always hunting for design systems Figma plugins and products that treat UX as a core feature rather than an afterthought.

Is it better to show a blank space or a wrong guess when data is missing?

I ran into this exact headache while pulling company details from random websites.

Some pages have their logo hidden in weird spots or completely skip a clear description, leaving my script scrambling. At first, I tried forcing smart guesses just so the UI wouldn't look empty but it backfired when the tool confidently displayed the wrong info to users.

Now I'd rather just leave a clean "not found" or let the user fill it in manually than show fake confidence. How do you handle UI states when your scraper comes back empty handed?

When do you finally close the chat window and open the debugger?

I used to fall into that exact loop arguing with an LLM for half an hour over a broken function pasting error logs back and forth like it was going to magically figure it out.

Total waste of time. The moment I actually drop a breakpoint or check the browser console I usually spot the stupid typo in two minutes. AI is great for scaffolding code but it's terrible at blind guessing.

Why did the store partner model fail in other quick commerce markets?

This partner model was actually tried by a few earlier startups but it ran into massive operational friction.

Beyond inventory mismatches speed is the biggest bottleneck a kirana owner has to manage walk in customers cash payments and chit-chat while dark store staff exist solely to pack orders in under 90 seconds. Plus, quick-commerce platforms make better margins when they buy bulk inventory directly from brands instead of splitting profits with a middleman shop.

Have you seen any local apps successfully blend both models in Delhi?
