Design-to-code translation (quick prototypes) Once you craft a high-fidelity mockup, you need to turn it into code. Previously, you have either to wait for developers to do it or learn how to code and do it yourself. Nowadays you can simply send your design to Claude and it will code it. I typically use Claude to generate an HTML + TailwindCSS prototype from UI specifications or UI screenshots. Here is how it works. You attach a screenshot of the UI you want to craft and let Claude do the heavy lifting for you.

"There's long stretches of time between game releases, and you lose touch with the players, people lose touch with what you're up to--and they generally cost a lot more, the longer they take," he said. Part of what Relic will look to do in the future is "get to market more frequently," and that doesn't mean the company wants to lower the quality bar and simply ship things faster for the sake of it. Already, the studio has improved how fast it can prototype new ideas, Dowdeswell said, noting that staffers can now get a prototype up and running in four weeks.

AI design tools are everywhere right now. But here's the question every designer is asking: Do they actually solve real UI problems - or just generate pretty mockups? To find out, I ran a simple experiment with one rule: no cherry-picking, no reruns - just raw, first-attempt results. I fed 10 common UI design prompts - from accessibility and error handling to minimalist layouts - into 5 different AI tools. The goal? To see which AI came closest to solving real design challenges, unfiltered.

Behind every seamless user interface, stylish wearable, or smart home device you love is a carefully crafted product design process-built through iteration, research, and hours of fine-tuning by product designers obsessing over every detail, right down to the last pixel. But, too often, teams jump from idea to execution, skipping the critical groundwork. The result? Products that look good on paper but fall flat in the real world.

Our job is to prototype new ideas and test viability. If we come across something that looks viable, help it graduate out and become a real GitHub product.

Figma may work for some, but not every creative workflow fits neatly into its AI ecosystem.

Microsoft's new file-based apps capability for C# allows developers to run stand-alone .cs files directly, simplifying development and enhancing learning opportunities.

Instead of fighting these limitations, I decided to work directly with the tools our engineers use.

AI is reshaping UI design workflows, enhancing efficiency from concept to prototype through innovative tools that automate and streamline the design process.

Anima's new Playground allows designers to seamlessly export their projects from design to code, enhancing workflow efficiency for those using interactive 3D objects.
