We’ve Been a Little Quiet on Product Hunt… but that's about to change.
It’s been a while since our last Product Hunt launch.
In that time, we’ve been heads down working on UXPin Merge - bringing real, coded components into the design tool so designers and devs finally share the same source of truth.
Now we’re getting ready for what feels like the next big step for Merge.
Instead of doing the usual “big reveal” first, I’d rather ask the people actually living these problems every day:
What are you secretly hoping we launch next?
Here are a few directions we’ve heard teams dreaming about:
UX AI Assistant - AI that supports, not replaces
→ AI that augments your workflow instead of locking you into ours.
Your stack, your process, no vendor lock-in — just smarter assistive layers on top.Two-way sync with your favourite dev tools
→ A deeper GitHub + dev-tool integration (Cursor, etc.) where:Design changes can drive code updates
Code changes are reflected back in design
→ Returning to the original UXPin promise: no handoff gap.
UXPin Intelligence – analytics + feedback baked into design
→ A layer of A/B testing, behaviour analytics, and feedback loops so design decisions are backed by real insight, not vibes.
→ Think UXPin meets VWO / Hotjar / Unbounce / Google Analytics.One-Click Publishing
→ From prototype → live artifact in a click.
→ Publish to UXPin or your own domain so teams, stakeholders, and users can experience realistic flows faster than ever.UXPin Marketplace
→ A place to share, sell, and collaborate on Merge component libraries and templates.
→ Community-led challenges, bundles, and prizes built around real, coded UI.Merge{d}AI – AI that speaks your design language
→ AI that actually knows your design system: tokens, components, patterns, brand.
Think “design-native AI” that helps you stay consistent, not generic.
Or maybe your dream feature is something totally different.
I’d Love Your Honest Wishlist 👇
If you use (or are curious about) UXPin Merge, tell me:
What’s the one thing you wish Merge could do for your team in the next 6-12 months?
If you could snap your fingers and remove a single pain from your design→dev process, what would disappear?
Which of the ideas above would make you say: “Okay, that deserves a Product Hunt launch”?
We’ve got things cooking already, but this is your chance to nudge the direction before we lock everything in.
Drop your wishlist in the comments - I’ll be reading and replying to every one. ❤️
PS: Don't forget to follow so you are notified when these releases happen! (hint: one will be before the end of 2025)

I think an AI that actually knows my design system and has a memory of previous projects to base new ones off would be reat. I feel that is where a lot of the new tools lack consistency at the moment. My snap fingers moment would also be around recommendations or intelligence on best pracice as I am designing so my A/B tests are hyper relevant and actually significant.
@luke_marshall4 i love it!
Both of these ideas are also at the top of my list.. and one will be coming very, very soon 👀
Hi @andrew_uxpin I feel the whole UX design pattern has been neglected in favour of AI enhancements currently. When it comes to guiding LLM's to apply UX design patterns that are unique it is hit and miss.
I think where there is an opportunity is to have LLM's trained to understand what good looks like when it comes to UX. Example what do the top sites have in common when it comes to consistent design patterns. So it becomes less guess work (which it is currently) and more curated (but avoiding a cookie cutter approach to patterns and designs)
@teldridgeldn Hey Tom - appreciate the comment.
This is something we are also looking into.. in two phases.
The first is what you spoke of.. 'what does good look like'.. and more specifically 'what converts (website-focsed) and what creates engagement (app/ux focused). We also integrate our AI with the user's existing design system so it recognises their historical designs, patterns etc to maintain consistency.
The second phase is really about constantly evolving.. so using analytics within the designs of the UI/UX to consistently gather feedback > test + iterate > repeat. So if we were to deploy a landing page.. the analytics would gather > what is gaining the attention of the end user, where are they getting stuck, where are they dwelling, rage clicking etc (think hotjar, vwo, analytics etc).. and with this data it would then recommend updates to the design, create a new A/B test and deploy.
I won't get ahead of myself because the second phase isnt close to being deployed yet, but would love your thoughts.
@andrew_uxpin I like the tension you have set up between a user's own design system and applying analytics. To my mind these two aspects are constantly pulling in opposite directions. But by attempting codify these design patterns that would be a god send for non designers using AI
Clearly, you’ve been working on something big, and it shows. The recent updates have already sped up the design process in a noticeable way, so I’m really interested to see what comes next. Looking forward to the next update before the end of the year.
@elliot_langston thanks for the positive feedback!
I've been experimenting with AI tools for a little while now. My biggest concern is consistency after the first iteration. They are great for initial concepts due to their speed but require a lot of manual editing in my experience. What does UXPin have in mind to address this concern?
@thomas_dupuy2 yeah this is something i see over and over again and exactly what we are working to address.. Our next releases of AI will be able to integrate with not only global libraries but also custom design systems, so you get the speed of AI - with the consistency of only using YOUR design sysem, tokens, styling etc.
Love the concept behind UXPin Intelligence. If I could snap my fingers: accessibility checks baked into the design>dev workflow. Accessibility can't be an afterthought, which means teams need tools that bring WCAG expertise into everyday design and development. I don't know of a design tool that natively supports advanced compliance workflows. Surfacing accessibility guidance as you design/build (beyond just color contrast - which a few tools DO have baked in now) and giving teams “accessibility as you build” without adding another tool or plugin would be A+ and deserves a Product Hunt launch.
@kari_brooks Yes this one is key.. and something i think is often overlooked.
