I Made a Site for Designers to Gen Great Patterns Quickly, No Headaches
It was a crisp autumn evening when I found myself burning the midnight oil, yet again. As a graphic designer, I was knee-deep in a project that required intricate patterns for a client's new product line. The clock ticked mercilessly as I struggled with complex design software, trying to bring my vision to life. That's when it hit me – why couldn't I just tell a computer what I wanted and have it create the pattern for me? Why did I need to wrestle with technical jargon and complicated prompts when I had a clear picture in my mind? This revelation sparked a journey that would consume the…

Magic Patterns2025 · magicpatterns.com · ▲566I built an agent that helps you build Rollercoaster Tycoon-influenced theme parks. You can prompt something like “Build me a cool theme park” and it’ll build a cohesive theme park with multiple worlds and connected with paths and rides. The weird part is that I built it using the same ideas we use to make AI-generated websites follow a company’s design system. I work as an engineer at Magic Patterns, focused on building our Design System Agent, aimed to use your existing brand, components, and conventions instead of producing something that looks like generic AI-generated UI. By default,…
Once UI 1.5Dec 2025 · once-ui.com · ▲299When I started my career and built my first design system, I was beyond excited. It took a lot of iterations, learning and 6 months of work to launch it internally. In the next job, I did it again, then at the following job, again… And no matter which company I worked for, 80% of the design system was the same. I’ve decided to work full-time on the design system I’ve always wanted, and today I’m launching and open-sourcing it. You can use it to build Next.js apps faster, and I’ve designed it in a way that it’s hard to go wrong with it: you can choose any settings, and you’ll end up with a…

I recently quit my job at a decent TTS company I was working for as a software developer advocate to pursue what I have always enjoyed doing, which is creating software that is helpful. Before and after quitting my job, I have always found it expensive and time-consuming to hire a designer that can come up with a decent logo for my software, and as a software engineer, I really enjoy coding, not designing. One day, I made a pretty bold move to design a logo, and it took me a whole day to come up with a logo that looks nice. This is the reason I built Owl AI, a logo generator that generates…
