Show HN: Email [email protected] to generate UI

I've been working on getting AI to consistently produce clean, good-looking apps and sites. It's available over email now—no signup needed. Just email (see title) and get design variations in your inbox. Let me know what you think!

In this post I outline the pipeline I built for automating UI design. It's an ongoing project but it's already replacing for me a lot of the drudgery of design exploration, which current tools noticeably don't do well.

Show HN: Generate beautiful UI, every time

https://trylayout.com

I built a UI design agent that iterates on its own like a human designer, going from wireframes to polished designs and variations.Main features:1. You get 20 designs for free.2. You get visual renders within seconds, so you can actually track how the design is progressing.3. Unlike existing tools, the AI iterates and creates variations on its own, massively increasing both visual and...

Yup, I just added the demo video!

Show HN: A baby UI design agent that explores and iterates

https://trylayout.com

I built a small UI design agent that explores multiple UI designs at once, and iterates with or without user input. No need for complicated magic prompts to converge on good design.To get the agent to reliably produce good-looking, functional designs, I generated over 1000 designs while tweaking the system prompt. Let me know what you think!

Re:Show HN: Orthogonal – An AI Workspace for your files on Wednesday March 12, 2025 @04:31PM (#43347372)
Orthogonal is simple RAG with file and conversation coverage. I notice that a single context is too messy to keep track of what I'm working on, so I added projects so you can switch context for your files and chats. Inspired by Claude Projects.
Re:Show HN: Save your cells for future aging therapies on Tuesday July 09, 2024 @05:52PM (#40921624)
This is a good point. In general, you get redundancy by splitting samples over multiple locations and storing cells at -196 liquid nitrogen or slightly warmer vapor phase.

I also think sequencing is another form of insurance that applies to cell storage for aging, because sequencing as much of your cells as possible now is basically a digital save state of your youngest cells. A rubric for age-reversal, at least for your cells.

Ah yeah you can reach me here: https://x.com/tscepo

And yeah will add the about etc. today!

Re:Show HN: Turn Drawings into React Code on Friday March 17, 2023 @04:42PM (#35202644)
I made this as a quick, focused way to generate responsive code for my projects. It focuses on generating responsive element layout, which tends to be the most annoying part of creating UI. With GPT4 being released I'll be able to generate more sophisticated code soon. Posting here to see if it's useful for anyone else.

Thanks! And no, it only samples the current state. For sure makes sense as a next feature.
Re:Show HN: Copy React code from any site on Saturday July 09, 2022 @06:24PM (#32039874)
The react export option exports inline jsx for now. You should be able to directly paste that into a react file, as opposed to the html export. I purposely don't wrap the jsx in a named component since I can see all kinds of use cases where a person wants to inject jsx into a part of an existing component.
Re:Show HN: Copy React code from any site on Saturday July 09, 2022 @06:19PM (#32039813)
At the time of posting, the extension actually allows you to export either jsx (which you can directly place in a react file) or html. That detail just isn't shown in the video, which shows an earlier version of the feature. Will update video.

Should work as long as the final output is html, instead of say something rendered within a canvas element.
Re:Show HN: Copy React code from any site on Saturday July 09, 2022 @05:19PM (#32039416)
Thanks! It'll work so long as what's rendered is html, instead of say a canvas element.
Re:Show HN: Copy React code from any site on Saturday July 09, 2022 @04:26PM (#32038969)
Any page that renders html should work!
Re:Show HN: Copy React code from any site on Saturday July 09, 2022 @03:18PM (#32038366)
Thanks! Since Aspect aims to solve the design-to-engineering handoff problem, I think we monetize on a per-seat basis for enterprise customers. Similar to Figma's pricing model actually.
Re:Show HN: Export React Code from Figma on Thursday June 16, 2022 @05:20PM (#31771115)
I made this because it felt like a missing feature in Figma. Engineers shouldn't spend time rounding corners and changing button colors when designers have already done it. Hope it's useful!

Yeah I can learn a lot from React Studio—I think a lot about keeping the learning curve down for growth, so I'm glad you pointed that out. I'm focusing on enterprise sales next and actively looking for people to help with that, so again I think you're right. Thanks for the feedback!
Re:Show HN: A Visual IDE for React on Friday May 13, 2022 @10:58AM (#31368517)
We're actually in review on the Figma plugin store for exactly this. Should be out soon.
Re:Show HN: A Visual IDE for React on Friday May 13, 2022 @09:35AM (#31367396)
That means a lot, thanks!
Re:Show HN: A Visual IDE for React on Friday May 13, 2022 @07:33AM (#31366083)
Will make these changes in a few minutes, thanks for the heads up!
Re:Show HN: A Visual IDE for React on Friday May 13, 2022 @07:27AM (#31366028)
Been thinking about this a lot the past few days. The main reason this isn’t yet integrated into vscode is to allow designers to edit, like in webflow.
Re:Show HN: A Visual IDE for React on Friday May 13, 2022 @06:50AM (#31365714)
Thanks!
