Super happy to finally put Wonder in the hands of everyone. What started as an idea 9 months ago went through multiple iterations across rendering, AI, and everything in between and today we're launching our first public version. Our goal is simple: help designers move fast again - ideate, iterate, refine and enable teams to ship designs exactly as they're imagined, without painful handoffs. This is just the beginning. A lot more coming. We're hiring engineers and we're shipping components, tokens and templates very soon - DMs open. Get started at wonder.design

Want to design more beautifully in Wonder? Here are a few tips to help.

Was experimenting with @usewonder Loved the copy from Figma and paste in Wonder feature! Seamless experience in importing designs. Amazing Shaders for Stunning Backgrounds! I would definitely use the shaders for one of my projects! This an amazing example of AI powered design tool! The chatbox variants well crafted with progress indicators so the user is not lost with a blank box. A tool I would recommend to use once they release the stable version!

Wonder is now live on Product Hunt! Check it out and share your thoughts producthunt.com/products/wonde…

@usewonder Looks wonderful 🤩

We’re hiring engineers in Belgrade 🇷🇸 - Backend (real-time, distributed systems) - Rendering (DOM/CSS, performance) - AI (agents, tools, retrieval) Building an AI-native design platform powered by real code. Small team. In-person. Few meetings. High ownership. For people who move fast and want to build something big. Apply 👇

1. This definition of product design is so sadly thin given where Gokul worked. Product designers do help with UI design systems but that's a fraction of what they do which also includes what product to build, how it should work, how to ensure people understand how to use it, how to create a brand people love and rally around, how the system should work together, etc etc etc but yes they'll need to do visual design of UI design systems less so I'll concede on that. 2. Design is not the "first casualty" and we have the data on design hiring - will release it here in a few weeks - stateofaidesign.com but at least the top tech companies continue to hire top designers AND pay top dollar for those folks. 3. If you're a designer you don't have these “two choices” - you can also become a founder of a startup (not just a design agency) - in fact this is an incredible time to be a designer founder. You can become incredible at storytelling and help with brand/marketing. You can freelance as a product designer (not just a systems UI specialist)... and many more... AND any product designer worth their weight already does/did PM/Eng type work... so sure if you're one of the few software designers that somehow didn't touch code or help with product strategy yeah pick that up it's 2026... you don't need a PM/Eng to tell you that. /end rant

I disagree that design is an AI casualty. The role isn’t disappearing, it’s evolving. Designers are already moving beyond UI into more product-focused work. Understanding what should be built, shaping it, and increasingly shipping it themselves. If anything, strong designers are more valuable now - they bring taste, product thinking, and with new tools, execution too. The job is changing, not shrinking. Companies still need people who make products feel coherent and meaningful, and that demand is only growing.

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis. Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant. Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today. If you're a designer, I think you have two choices: 1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business. 2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder. Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

More ways to sign in = more time designing. Google, GitHub, Microsoft auth now live in Wonder.

Have you tried Claude Opus 4.7 already?

@Ajinqya @usewonder Hey @Ajinqya, you can show or hide the sidebars using the `cmd/ctrl + .` shortcut. We’ll also work on adding a visual button for this.

@usewonder Hid my sidebar, how do I get it back?

@usewonder I am stuck. Is there a way to get the chat panel in view?

First it was “I can’t code.” AI fixed that. Now it’s “I can’t design.” @usewonder just solved that. There aren’t any excuses anymore to bring your ideas to life. Backed @usewonder in stealth — now open to the world. Congrats all! This is only the beginning!

We’re very excited to be partnering with Shaders.com to bring amazing Shaders into Wonder! We are starting out with a few presets, and now with their MCP launch, we’ll be integrating two platforms closer to bring a full loop of creating and polishing shaders end-to-end!

Every time you switch between design and code, you lose something, your momentum, your fidelity, or your vision. The gap between what you designed and what ships has always been the cost of building. That’s why we built Wonder, a design tool where everything you create is backed by real code. Public Alpha is now live at wonder.design

New week. New design tool. I’m really excited about this one though! Wonder what you think about it?
