Skilfut – 138 UI components to help devs build faster and prettier

Hi HN, I’m César, a non-developer who started building prototypes using vibe coding (AI + prompts instead of code). While doing this, I realized a big issue: it’s incredibly hard to get a good design. Most sites end up looking the same. So I built Skilfut — a SaaS that provides a library of 138 UI components, each with its associated prompt. You can copy/paste them into your no-code or AI-coding workflow and get functional, styled blocks right away. Already 138 components available New components added every week (+200 planned) Designed in collaboration with designers from companies…

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Hi HN, I have been making side projects since I was 14, and my team mate (this is his very first side project! Congrats!) designed and implemented the UI. Over time, people kept asking me how they could start coding and turn ideas into reality. So we had an idea. Coding is changing. With AI, the bottleneck is no longer writing every line by hand but knowing how to prompt effectively to reach a working outcome. Our objective is not to make people code better, or even learn to be a proficient software engineer, but just to keep it simple and start building. We want to remove fear and barriers…

    When 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…

    Hey HN, we're building Design Rails. It's a chat-based brand builder. You describe your project, iterate with an AI designer, and walk away with a logo, color palette, typography, and style guide - all formatted as specs you can drop into your project for Claude Code, Cursor or whatever you're coding with. Free tier gets you a full logo (PNG) and basic palette. Paid tier ($49 one-time) - everything you need for your next project - full coding-agent ready specs, SVG logos, icon variants, etc. Built with Next.js, Vercel AI SDK, and Inngest for the async generation jobs. Would love to hear your…

    As a founder, I've always had the hardest time building landing pages. You either buy a template and spend hours editing, or scream at Cursor to "make it beautiful". It's exhausting and waste of our time as founders. We simply need AI to generate beautiful landing pages that we can ship. I'd been working on this problem statement for a while and was able to get great results when I provided AI with a detailed design system to follow. So I ended up building a collection where I've curated 100s of design systems for AI tools to use. Now, after launch of Nano-Banana, I updated our flow to first…

This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
