I'm a dev, not a designer. Every side project I started used to die at the design step. I'd open a blank Figma canvas, feel nothing, and quit.

So I built Daisy. You type one prompt, like "meditation app with breathing exercises and a calm green theme," and it generates a whole cohesive set of mobile app screens at once: onboarding, home, paywall, profile, settings, all sharing one design language. Then you export to Figma, to code, or hand it straight to an AI coding agent (Claude Code / Cursor).

The genuinely hard part wasn't generating one nice screen. It was keeping ~15 screens consistent so the result looks like a real app instead of a pile of unrelated Dribbble shots. That consistency problem is most of what I worked on.

Being honest about what it's not: it won't replace a designer for a deeply opinionated brand. It gets you ~80% there fast so you can validate and start building, and the last 20% (taste, polish) is still on you.

Would really value feedback from other builders here, especially what feels off or missing. If you tried it, what would make you actually keep using something like this?

Hey everyone,

I'm searching for a furnished 3-bedroom apartment in Kigali. Hoping to tap into local knowledge before going through agents.

A few details:

• Bedrooms: 3, fully furnished
• Location: Kigali
• Move-in: Early August

If you know of any listings, or trusted agents, please drop a comment or DM me. Photos and contact info appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏

I tried ironclaw and one thing I noticed about IronClaw is how simple it is to use. The platform is easy to navigate, and I didn't need much time to understand how things work.

IronClaw is beginner-friendly even if you're new to managing Ai agents, IronClaw makes it easy for you and operate seamlessly

I also like that participation feels straightforward. You can get involved, contribute, and explore different opportunities without feeling overwhelmed.

Also, Ironclaw makes daily activities much easier by setting up a routine and ironclaw keeps you updated.

And many more.

So far, the experience has been smooth, and I'm excited to see how IronClaw continues to grow.

I want to share the actual reason I ended up building my own tool, because for a while I didn't plan to. I just wanted my app to look good and ship fast, and I kept hitting the same wall.

I've been building mobile apps for a bit now, and the part that always killed my momentum was design. I'm not a designer. I can tell when something looks off but I can't fix it, and that gap is expensive. Every time I had a new idea I'd go through the same loop. Find a designer, explain the whole vision over a few back and forth messages, wait a few days, get the first screens back, realize they understood maybe 70 percent of what I meant, send notes, wait again. And the bill for one decent design cycle kept landing somewhere around two thousand dollars. For one cycle. Not the final app, just one round of getting screens that looked real.

The money was one thing but the speed was what actually hurt. I'd have an idea on a Monday and feel completely cooled off on it by the time I could even see what it looked like. The whole point of building fast is that you stay excited and you ship before you talk yourself out of it. Waiting a week for screens does the opposite. By the time they showed up I'd already moved on in my head.

So I started trying the AI tools that existed. And some of them looked impressive for about five seconds in a demo. But the second you actually tried to use the screens, it fell apart. They just had no taste. Everything came out looking vibe coded, that specific kind of AI slop where it's technically a design but every choice is slightly wrong. Spacing all over the place, colors that don't go together, components dumped on the screen with no sense of hierarchy. The kind of thing where you look at it and immediately know a human didn't make decisions, a model just guessed. And the worst part is the screens weren't even usable. A real user would open that and have no idea what to tap. It looked like a design but it didn't work like one.

I kept thinking someone would fix it and I could just pay for it and move on. I really did not want to build a design tool. I wanted to build my apps. But after enough months of fighting the same problem I realized the thing I wanted didn't exist yet, at least not the way I needed it, and I had enough of an opinion about what was wrong that I figured I should just try.

The core thing I was obsessed with was making it actually look like iOS from the first screen, not after twenty rounds of fixing. You type what your app is, it gives you real screens that look native, and you can redo them one screen at a time until they're right instead of regenerating the whole thing and praying. From there you export to Figma if you want to keep editing, or straight into whatever AI coding agent you're using to build. That last part mattered to me a lot because the design was never the final goal, shipping was. A pretty screenshot that you can't build from is useless.

And that's the part that actually changed how I work now. Because the design step stopped being a bottleneck, my whole timeline collapsed. These days I can go from an idea to a live app on the App Store in under three days. I'm not exaggerating for the post, that's genuinely the loop now. Day one I prompt the screens and get the look right, export them, and start building with my coding agent off the real designs. Day two is wiring up the actual functionality. Day three is polish, screenshots, and submitting. The thing that used to eat a week by itself, just getting screens that looked real, now takes me an afternoon. When the design stops being the thing you wait on, everything downstream gets faster too, and you ship while you still care about the idea instead of after you've lost interest in it.

It's not perfect and I'm not going to pretend it is. It still has moments where I ask for something specific in a layout and it doesn't quite get there and I have to redo a screen. But the core thing, the part where it looks like a real app and not vibe coded slop, it gets that right, and that was the entire reason I built it.

I'll drop a few designs it made below so you can judge for yourself rather than taking my word for it. Duolingo for learning how to cook

Mostly I'm curious whether other people hit this same wall, and how you solved it. Did you just pay the two grand and accept it? Find a designer you trust and stick with them? Use a tool I never found? And if you're shipping fast too, I want to know what your idea to App Store timeline actually looks like, because for years mine was measured in weeks and I assumed that was just normal. Genuinely curious whether it was just me.

Hey everyone 👋

Random question that's been living in my head rent-free lately. How does someone actually start living on their own?

So I'm finishing high school this year, and ever since the idea of graduating became real, I keep wondering what life looks like once I step out of my parents' house. I'm still a teen, but I've been hustling and pulling in around $5k a month, which isn't huge but it's mine, and it's got me curious about whether independence is actually within reach.

The thing is, I've lived under my parents' roof my whole life, so the "outside world" feels like this giant mystery. I genuinely wanna know what it's like, cooking my own food, paying my own bills, figuring things out solo. But I'd rather learn from people who've done it than walk in blind and get humbled in week one 😅

So I'm curious:

• How do people actually find rentals here? Brokers? Facebook groups? Just spotting "to let" signs around town?
• I'd love something furnished, ideally around 3 bedrooms (thinking of splitting with roommates to make it work). Is that realistic on a smaller budget or am I dreaming?
• Which neighborhoods are good for someone young just starting out?
• What costs caught you off guard? Deposits, water, electricity, internet, the stuff nobody warns you about.
• And honestly, what do you wish someone had told you before you moved out?

Not trying to rush anything, just genuinely curious and want to plan smart. Any stories or advice would mean a lot 🙏

Thank you!

i didn’t set out to build a startup.

i was just frustrated.

every time i shipped an app, the most annoying part wasn’t coding, it was making app store screenshots that actually look good and convert. it takes time, design skills, and a lot of trial and error.

so i built something for myself.

a simple tool called appshots that takes raw app screens and turns them into app store-style screenshots automatically. i used gpt-image-2 for the image generation and hacked together a basic version in about 3 days.

at first, i added a free trial because it felt like the “right” thing to do. but honestly, it didn’t convert well. people tried it, but didn’t commit.

so i removed the free trial.

that’s when the first payments came in.

i posted it on twitter with little audience. just a simple post showing what it does.

first few hours were quiet. then a few people started interacting. then someone paid. then a couple more.

in the first 48 hours, it made $171 in gross revenue.

no refunds so far. all payments were from strangers.

it’s not a lot of money, but it changed how i think about building products.

a few things i’m noticing:

• people don’t really care about the tech (gpt-image-2, etc). they care about the outcome: “will this make my app look better and get more downloads?”
• removing the free trial actually increased commitment. fewer users, but more serious ones
• feedback is very specific. people are already asking for things like brand customization, better layouts, and exports for different app stores

what i think i did right:

• built something i actually needed
• shipped fast (3 days) instead of overthinking, leveraging claude code
• showed the result clearly instead of explaining the system

what i did wrong:

• onboarding is confusing
• positioning isn’t clear yet
• landing page is pretty rough

right now i’m just talking to every user and trying to understand what they actually want before doing anything else.

just trying to figure out if this is a real problem worth going deeper into.
