@philostar Not a Claude skill, but I've had decent results with magicpatterns.com - give it a screenshot of a nice UI and tell it to apply that to one of my pages. It spits out a React/Tailwind design which you can easily port to your own codebase w/ Cursor/Claude.

is there such a thing as Claude Code design themes? e.g. a list of Claude Code skills (?) which design your site in a specific style?

@Arpansac @commudle @rails @angular @postgres Very cool @Arpansac - @commudle looks neat! The feed is nothing special really - it's mostly just an Activity model which is then scoped to groups the user is part of. My queries likely aren't optimal, but it's paginated, and I've got bullet checking in case any n+1's sneak in!

@smuui_ Completely agree, have built @commudle using @rails and @angular, kudos to you for being regular with updates! How did you build the feed to be personalized to the user? Just curious, any gems and @postgres guidance? #BuildInPublic

Annnd radius now has its own neat activity feed - radius.to/feed! Took a few iterations to get this looking reasonably nice. Thank god for #tailwindcss. #BuildInPublic

More shipping! 🧑‍💻 #BuildInPublic

Changelog 👉 radius.to/changelog

This was pretty satisfying to roll out - much easier to parse this information now as opposed to just having all of this in an unformatted wall of text in the description 🫠 - #tailwind makes it incredibly easy to quickly release nice-looking UI.

Events on radius.to now handily display more useful information about speakers, dietary options, and facilities at an event. #buildinpublic #ruby #rubyonrails

A few more additions this month - minimal user profiles, and frequently requested - background images and a gallery for group pages - radius.to/changelog #buildinpublic #ruby #rubyonrails

Radius now has a changelog, hurrah! Kind of crucial, I suppose, to be able to convey that yes - this thing is in active development 😁 Sept 2025 - new features galore!

I wrote a thing! 👉 @scott_radius/my-journey-building-an-alternative-to-meetup-com-with-ruby-on-rails-c8b50fc096d4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@scott_radius/…

Is there an easy way to stop being notified of shit like this from people I don't follow? Superbly engineered recommendation engine. 10/10.

Boy, was it satisfying to move that Trello card into the "Done" column 😁

TLDR - the wonderful #tailwind has beautified the entire platform (I'm sorry, Bootstrap - we had a good run!) - with a heavy focus on the user dashboard, and the main event/groups pages.

Shipped some well overdue UI updates (hint: #tailwind) for Radius recently, with more on the way - check them out! 👉 radius.to #buildinpublic #rubyonrails

@heroku is causing routing issues again. Multiple health checks failing.

Annd we now have group listings live at radius.to/groups - still pretty primitive and the first iteration but I'll be adding a location search and some sense of order to the page soon! #buildinpublic

@philostar Google Cloud is the same - need a Phd just to be able to navigate the thing.

I was just trying to get access to an S3 file which involved creating users, roles, policies and more 🤮

How did developers navigate the AWS interface pre-ChatGPT?
