After attending #remotedesignweek , I got introduced to so many Slack communities and connected with so many designers. So I decided to create this site to collect all the Slack designer communities I found. designerslack.community

Want free advice on how to grow your app? Post your app below I'll be recording a video shortly where I review a few apps and provide some practical tips, advice and strategies for improving

@trikcode Hi just launched an app building solely with AI x.com/RyanQYao/statu…

@ultradianflow Yeah, being a product designer definitely helps to clearly communicate what I want. Detailed PRDs or design files don’t actually improve the code quality. I found breaking down features into smaller steps helps the most.

@RyanQYao That makes it even more impressive. I am learning React at the moment, and don't think I could get a polished app like that right now, even with AI help. I guess you just know how to prompt well, and presumably get a design spec built before each feature etc.

You can make a feature rich iOS app with just AI. My girlfriend and I spent the past 4 months working on this focus timer app. 95% of the code is done by AI, and I only used Figma for 10% of the time. It's a pomodoro timer to help you focus on the things you are working on. We made it cat themed because her cat unfortunately has to stay with her parents in China, we don't get to see the cat often. This is our way to show our love to Jinx, her little black cat. My girlfriend drew all the illustrations and animation. It makes the app so much cuter and more special. I'm proud to say there's no similar app on the market right now. We launched it on RedNote a month ago, and over 3000 cat lovers have downloaded. So many of users have expressed that this app provides such emtional support that they never felt in other apps. Especially for people who are not with their cats. You can download it now on App Store apps.apple.com/app/cat-on-cha…

@ultradianflow I know CSS and HTML pretty well. I can’t really write JS myself, but I can understand it. So just bare minimum of coding knowledge.

@RyanQYao UI looks great. That's impressive that 95% was done by AI. I suspect you know how to code though right, so you can guide AI properly on data structure etc.?

I'm stoned that my app made over $2000, it's the most I've made on any product I made. Now that the initial burst of the traffic is gone. I need to figure out how to future promote it. How do people promote their apps nowadays?

Now I don't need to touch Figma to design. Everything can be done directly with Vibe Coding. I spent couple hours to revamp the stats page in my Cat On Chair app. It's really cool that I can see the design immediately on real device and play around with it. Although I do wonder if this is faster or better than designing in Figma first then building it in code.

@EasyCodeAI Thank you!

@RyanQYao That's awesome!

You can build iOS app with vibe coding. I spent last three months building a pomodoro timer with my girlfriend. Now you can download and try it out. catonchair.app

It took me five hours to finish this widget animation, I'm so glad I got it working, thanks to @brycebostwick1

o4 mini is probably the best model for Swift. My widget is not getting the data from the main app. Claude Code kept adding debug logs and let me try again. While o4 mini tells me to check App Group identifiter. It solves problem immediately. And this happened multiple times already.

No wonder why Anthropic is asking for money from Cursor. I'm trying out Claude Code, and in just a couple of days, I've already doubled what I spent on the monthly membership. Anthropic is effectively losing money on every customer they have.

Richmond 中餐多，吃啥都方便，但中国人也多。DT 活动多，每天都有各种社交文化娱乐活动，但房租贵。没车的话推荐找天车站附近的公寓，交通方便，附近要是能有大统华的话就更好了。推荐上 craigslist 找租房信息，Facebook 上也行。尽量避免疫情期间盖好的新房子，很多房子偷工减料，漏水电梯很容易坏。

工签搞定了，差不多开始规划去温哥华的细节了 准备 十二月过去，提前一个月开始看房子，先找个短租，慢慢熟悉环境后再换个长租 有兄弟们给些建议嘛
