I'm the CEO of UXPin. We launched Forge on Product Hunt today.
But before I talk about that, I want to share what the last week taught me about what people actually want from AI design tools.
Claude Design launched 2 weeks ago. My LinkedIn feed exploded. I spent the week reading every take, replying to dozens of posts, and testing Claude Design myself.
Five patterns showed up over and over.
1. Token burn is the #1 frustration
Multiple users maxed out weekly limits in 2-6 hours. One burned 25% on 7 slides. The community built a workaround strategy: Opus for first prompt, Sonnet for edits, Haiku for tweaks. When your users need a cost mitigation strategy on day one, that's a signal.
