I'm Building an Alternative to Figma

I'm building Octo because I needed a tool that combined Figma’s collaboration with Illustrator and Photoshop’s tooling.

    I left Figma to build a diffusion-based UI design toolJul 2026 · diffui.ai · ▲80

    Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
