This has become the new standard, better get used to it. You have to stay on your feet no matter what technology you use. The time of picking one and sticking with it for years is long gone.
Re:Video games inspire great UX (2019) on Friday September 25, 2026 @05:03PM (#49849921)
Great article. I’ve been in the UI/UX space for years. Prior to that I studied gamedesign at uni and graduated engineer in art and tech. Principles of gamedesign always allowed me to solve ux problems in sometimes unusually delightful ways. One tiiiny example was a search function for a piece of software that was incredibly slow. The engineers couldnt get it to go any faster. I helped solve it with an old gamedesign technique, which is to add story to the loading screen. Just adding a fun animation and text on what’s happening helped decrease dropoff and increase delight. Now transitioned to more design and engineering allows me to own the full ux even more. [1]

Drop the s and p. Just law.

It’s cleaner.

This is pretty neat. What would be a good reason for the other Model providers to not do this?
Whatever they eat, did that go down to an all time low. Im m curious about the chain reaction vs an isolated result.

Re:Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions on Friday August 28, 2026 @02:40PM (#49482689)
This is surprisingly useful. As I was imagining myself behind thr wheel I felt it was more clear as to when/where the next turn is. Probably because it combines top down flat with 3d spatial vs just one or the other. This was really good. I want it.
Re:Show HN: Online LED Scroller on Sunday August 23, 2026 @02:03PM (#49410975)
nice idea, it's a small step but can probably make it look that much better: try to have the grid actually be a grid. So not masked text moving underneath it. But the grid can easily simulate an actual LED matrix. Just prompt your fav ai coding tool with something like 'Now make this work like an actual LED matrix, so the pixels fire when ever they are active'
The thing most people seem to be missing is that ai does the work, but still needs to be guided. When it comes to design, at our little company, our main job is to direct the style and not tell it to make something. So we are actively directing it towards specific, by us determined, styles. We did this for numerous companies [1]. So yes, Ai generated dashboards can look really amazing, but the person directing them has to spend time creative directing it.

Re:Best code editor without AI? on Monday August 17, 2026 @05:41PM (#49338053)
Sublime still feels like the most natural extension of the mind (when it comes to writing code by hand). Though, I use it mainly as a 2do list and notepad these days.
Re:Show HN: Design Engineering, as a Service on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @07:07AM (#49256311)
Right. Previously That’s the team of designers from 5y ago in a different business (no engineering)
Re:Show HN: Design Engineering, as a Service on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @02:48AM (#49254263)
No but 95% of whom we work with is.

Re:All memory manufactured in 2027 has been sold out on Saturday August 08, 2026 @06:31AM (#49220470)
This happened once before (less dramatic but still) until at some point the prices came down crashing. I can’t see this holding for much longer.

Examples and ROI
Exactly right. Which is why I don’t use AI to design. I’m a designer. I use it to turn my designs into code. There’s too much slop out there.
Re:Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2 on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @04:55PM (#49188886)
We can throw benchmarks in the bin by now. Each one I've seen is heavily biased and skewed. It holds very little reliable data points (unfortunately)
that's a good signal. Not paying means the value isn't where it should be yet. Focus on that part.
Close circle. Make something for your friends/family/colleagues. The best first customers are those that, right now, are in your phone's address book.
Keeping track of any AI progress is becoming harder by the day, because there's ambiguity around common/clear/consistent benchmarks. Everything is constantly skewed into favourable directions.
You don’t use Ai to write code?
