Any interest in an Open source design plugin?

Hello friends, I’ve been building a few plugins for my business. There’s a design system plugin and an AI LLM plugin. They work together or independently, the design system is layered with recipes for each layer that are defined in the database. You prompt the system and it generates the design, almost like loveable but it’s guided by the developers constraints. Right now I’m hosting it in a private repo. It works pretty well for my use cases but it is AI generated slop if I’m gonna be honest.

I was wondering if I should open source it and if the community would be interested in a design system that leverages payload blocks and themes to build webpages quickly via promoting?

I have a lot of web development experience so I intend to clean up the slop best I can. Trying to gauge whether the community would be interested in something like this and if I should put the little extra effort into adding this to the payload community.

Figma take over 10 months later

Hi, I was wondering how the figma acquisition is going. I see the team is still releasing new features but I haven’t heard anything from Figma on what their intent is with Payload CMS. Anyone from the team want to update us on what’s happening? What figmas intention is with payload CMS?

I have been thinking about this question a lot. I am bullish on the idea that all this hardware investment will lead to one of the largest software booms we will see in our lifetime. I’m just not sure how it will play out. I assume the mega cap companies will continue to rule a majority of the software industry. However, I’m not sure what software jobs will look like in the future. AI can’t do a lot of the judgement.

My question is do you think there will be a software boom? Do you think the mega cap companies like Google, AWS, Microsoft among others will just consume all this work? Or will it be a mix of small business and elite consultancy teams working with industry to revolutionize the economy with AI? Or do you think AI will just become so good that it writes all the software, solves all problems, and openAI or Anthropic just swallow the whole business and crush the local LLM model?

Open for discussion, not a doomer, I’m pretty optimistic about the future
