figma was where the people were at, shad cn and tailwind was the bridge, it's time to move on completely to in app agentic prompt design canvas in production code, in app component library, and everything else is a shader plug in or whatever. there's no need for a design gui at all. the gains from immediate production code is worth the prompt tweak time, and becomes less and less as the system grows.

I like types. Types align with my brain waves; they help me create better code. TS/Rust are my tools of choice.
When using agents, though, that doesn’t matter as much.
I asked OpenCode to build me a simple CRM recently using Ruby on Rails. It came back INSANELY GOOD. One prompt, 15 minutes, database migrations, form validations, authentication, a nice backend structure - the works!
Ruby and Rails have been around forever. That makes a huge difference for agents. The older and more proven the tech, the better the result you get from the agent. That is also why Linux has suddenly become such a joy to use.

I love accelerating Rails development with agents. It's incredible how much progress you can make in such few tokens. rubyonrails.org

using this exact same tweak pattern but each component in isolation, tweaks propagating across the whole app at library push.

and specific RL on component library type... react, react native, swift, appkit ... shit gpui too. you could fly and feel in complete control from a design stand point. could go from napkin sketch to production ui so fast without having a library dependency. pure css and css variables, the real ass deal.

the models are incredibly good at atomizing building up the organisms of reusable systems and using them super efficiently, BUT only if you explicitly direct this and hover over it with skills and mds there’s a real case for RL on a stock front end workbench tool that’s part of the harness.

I kind of miss the days where they charged for OS updates. They shipped them with more pride.
Nobody would have allowed a $129 price tag on Liquid Ass.

realized Chat GPT already has 60-70% of a really good markdown editor in the canvas feature which has maybe just been forgotten
it’s really good, the line height and everything is honestly way better than the line height in the codex output
extremely well designed, but seems like an mvp
should just buff this out to render all the markdown blocks and ship it to codex as the text editor

the ui design tool of the future only needs to be an agentic canvas that
- has a pencil tool for component sketches
- agent turns sketches into react components
- prompts tweak design
- components cataloged to ui library
- pencil tool sketches screens and agents build out from library
codex spark and voice driven
