Will AI agents kill design as we know it?At the end of February a report by Citrini Research caused major shockwaves through the software industry, sending the stock prices of heavyweight SaaS organisations like Atlassian and Slack to nosedive. The Citrini Report follows AI’s current trajectory and projects that 2028 will bring a self-inflicted corporate doom loop: AI makes software so cheap to build that SaaS companies will cannibalise themselves out of business.The report is a deliberately pro

8 Talks by Women to Inspire UX Designers

User Experience design, like so many other disciplines, has a lower representation of women as compared to men. Things are changing now, though. Slowly, but surely. From strategy to tactics and from ideas to actionable tips, here is a curated playlist of talks by, and stories of just some of the most influential voices in business, technology and design.“How often do you use a voice assistant like Siri, Alexa or even Cortana?” asks Kriti Sharma in her talk, How to keep human bias out of AI. Each

UX Storyboards: Ultimate Guide

In user experience design, we use techniques like workshops and interviews to understand users. We turn our research into user stories and process flows. We use personas and wireframes to share our ideas with our teams.But it’s important to remember the real people we design for. We need to know what happens in their lives. We must see how our product can improve their lives. And that’s where a UX storyboard can help us.What is a UX Storyboard?A UX storyboard is a visual tool—one that illustrate

People Choose the Path of Least Effort

People tend to choose the path that requires the least effort. When something is easy to do, they do it. When it requires too much effort, they delay, abandon, or avoid the task entirely.

Your menu doesn’t need Miller’s 7±2 rule

Miller’s 7±2 rule was about memory, not how many elements you can put on the screen. Learn why it doesn’t apply to menu items and what UX designers should take from the original research.

Show HN: SprintPulse – AI-powered retrospectives that drive action

Hi HN,I am the founder of SprintPulse. Like many of you, I used to dread retrospective meetings. They often turned into a repetitive cycle where we wrote down the same issues every sprint but never actually fixed them. "Better communication" was on our action item list for months.I built SprintPulse to fix that loop. It is a tool designed not just to collect feedback, but to make sure it leads to real change.When I looked at the tools available, I found they fell into two camps.On one

Show HN: Sushidata – automating the painful parts of competitor and VoC research

Hi HN,A few months ago we noticed a pattern. Every GTM, product, and marketing team we talked to had the same problem. They were drowning in external data from Reddit, Discord, Slack communities, competitor sites, and social channels. But turning all of that noise into something structured and useful took an enormous amount of time.We watched people spend days copying screenshots into spreadsheets, tagging posts, and checking competitor websites by hand. We were doing the same thing ourselves an

Show HN: I built a Chrome extension to let my OpenClaw Bot remote in

Sharing a build-in-public update.I’ve been working with my assistant “Gideon” (running inside OpenClaw) to solve a very specific problem:I want the agent to control my real browser (logged-in sites, my normal cookies, my actual tabs) - not a sandboxed headless browser - while still keeping the control surface simple and auditable. This means my OpenClaw won't break the moment a site gets "clever".So... We built it! I say we but it was mostly Gideon and I was along for the ride as

Show HN: utils.live – Developer utilities that run entirely in your browser

I kept opening different websites for simple dev tasks — formatting JSON, encoding Base64, testing regex patterns. Each one had ads, signup walls, or sent my data to a server. I wanted a single place where everything runs client-side with nothing leaving my browser.Each tool is a stateless pure function defined with Zod schemas. The schemas validate input at runtime and also generate the UI automatically — editor language, form fields, and output format are all inferred from the schema shape. To

Show HN: VantageKit – a lightweight data room with staging, analytics, & AI Q&A

Hi HN,I’m the solo developer behind VantageKit. I was a PM for a long time and recently decided to get back into coding. I’ve been building this part-time for just under two months (first commit was Dec 26). I was able to move this fast largely by leaning heavily on Claude Code to accelerate my workflow, and I wanted to share the result here to get your feedback.THE PROBLEM: - Sharing pitch decks, proposals, or due diligence docs is full of friction. You either send PDF attachments (and fly blin

Show HN: UseWhisper.dev – AI Code Reviewer (please test and roast it)

Hey HN!I built UseWhisper.dev — an AI code reviewer that analyzes your code diffs, PRs, or snippets and returns review feedback instantly. It runs in the browser with no signup required, and is meant to give developers quick second opinions on logic, style, security, and best practices.https://usewhisper.devWhat it does:Paste a diff, GitHub PR link, or code snippetGet line-by-line intelligent feedbackSuggestions on readability, errors, anti-patternsNo login, minimal UI, fast responsesW

Show HN: Intentify – Point at your UI, describe a change, get a PR

Intentify is now generally available.It turns UI change requests directly from your app into structured tickets and pull requests.How it works: 1. Point and describe – Click on any element in your app and describe the change in plain language. 2. Review the proposal – Intentify generates a preview by updating the page. You review and approve 3. Create a PR – A pull request is opened for engineers to review and merge.Engineers stay in control. Nothing auto-ships.Intentify adapts to your code patt

Ask HN: Anyone doing production image editing with image models? How?

Hey HN — I’m building an app where users upload “real life” clothing photos (ex. a wrinkly shirt folded on the floor). The goal is to transform that single photo into a clean, ecommerce-style image of the garment.One key UX requirement: the output needs to be a PNG with transparency (alpha) so we can consistently crop/composite the garment into an on-rails UI (cards, outfit layouts, etc.). Think “subject cutout that drops cleanly into templates.”My current pipeline looks like: 1. User-uploa

Show HN: EncroGram – Messaging When You Assume Everything Will Be Looked At

Hi HN,I’m not using EncroGram because I like clean UI or new apps. I’m using it because I assume that sooner or later, anything I touch might be examined — devices, servers, logs, timelines.Most messaging apps focus on encrypting content. That’s table stakes now. What matters in practice is everything around the content: identifiers, metadata, backups, correlations, and the quiet assumptions built into the system.EncroGram caught my attention because it seems to start from a different premise: r

Show HN: Real-Time AI Design Benchmark

Hey HN,We built a different kind of AI benchmark for UI generation.Instead of static leaderboards or curated screenshots, you can watch multiple models generate the same design live, side-by-side, and decide which output is actually better.Under the hood, we call AI models from Anthropic (Opus), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and Moonshot AI (Kimi).Each model generates a real, editable project using Tailwind CSS (not screenshots or canvas exports). You can export it for Next.js, Laravel (Blade),

Stop the Generic Portfolio Trap! Design a Stand-Out Portfolio for Your UX/UI Niche: UX Writing

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in UX design the right words are priceless. UX writing guides users, simplifies complex concepts, encourages desired actions, and creates a sense of delight. But how do you demonstrate you can do all of these things? How do you get noticed by hiring managers and potential clients? Let’s explore how to translate your UX writing powers into a stand-out portfolio.In this video, Design Director at Societe Generale CIB, Morgane Peng explains what a UX desi

Human Strategy In An AI-Accelerated Workflow

I’ve been working in User Experience design for more than twenty years. Long enough to have seen the many job titles, from when stakeholders asked us to “just make it pretty” to when wireframes were delivered as annotated PDFs. I’ve seen many tools come and go over the years, methodologies rise and fall, and entire platforms disappear. Yet, nothing has unsettled designers quite like AI.When generative AI tools first entered my workflow, my reaction wasn’t excitement — it was unease, with a littl

You’re still designing for an architecture that no longer exists

Claude just showed us what replaced it.VISUAL 1: The Dissolved Interface. Generated with Gemini.Last Tuesday, I asked Claude to prepare a competitive analysis. Not in a chat window. Not through a prompt. I opened Cowork, pointed it to a folder on my desktop, and said what I needed. It read my files. It cross-referenced data from Slack through a connector. It pulled calendar context. It produced a document — formatted, structured, sourced — and saved it to my working folder. I didn’t open a singl

Prompt Hoarders: 7 Reasons Saving Prompts Won’t Make You Creative

We’re not getting smarter with AI — we’re just getting better at hoarding prompts and calling it “creativity.” The real danger isn’t AI replacing us. It’s us quietly forgetting how to think.
