I got tired of my app ideas looking good in my head and horrible in Figma

Small weekend-ish project I’ve been working on.

Every time I start a mobile app idea, the first 30 mins are exciting and then I open Figma and immediately remember I am not a designer lol.

Like the idea is fine.

But then the screens look like:

random SaaS cards

weird spacing

fake Dribbble finance app

icons that don’t match

“this was built by a dev” energy

So I made this little thing: https://appthetics.com

You type the mobile app idea and it gives you actual app screens you can edit/export/use as a starting point.

Not saying it replaces designers. It doesn’t.

It’s more for that annoying stage where you need the app to look real enough to validate, pitch, or build from… but you don’t want to spend 2 days arranging rectangles.

I also added App Store screenshot stuff because that part is somehow always left till the end and then looks terrible.

Would honestly love feedback. Especially on whether the product page explains the use case clearly or if it still sounds like another AI wrapper.

The playable character curse. 😭 Can’t wait for these beautiful wings to be replaced by the same old glider. 💀

Snezhnaya isn't even out and I'm already filing for bankruptcy.

told myself I was saving for Mavuika, but then I saw this. Hoyo really just wants me to live on ice cubes and tap water for the next year, huh? She's actually too beautiful, I'm sick!!!

First time sharing 8 months Nimo laptop experience

Been looking around for a while and realized there aren’t many long term reviews on this brand, so here’s my experience after using it for 8 months.
Mine is the 880$ config (17.3 fhd, ryzen 98945hs, 780m, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). There’s also a cheaper version around 650 if you go lower specs.
Build is ok, USB-C charging is actually nice, no big power brick to carry around. Ports are solid too: usb4, hdmi, usb4, sd card slot, plus fingerprint and webcam shutter, which is a nice touch.
Windows setup was kinda slow at the start, not gonna lie, but after that it’s been fine.
Performance is good for daily use: tons of tabs, office work, light editing, multitasking, all smooth. 32GB RAM helps a lot.
Screen surprised me a bit: 17.3 1080p 60hz. Nothing special on paper, but in real use it looks way better than my old chromebook. colors and viewing angles are decent, no weird washout.
Downsides are pretty obvious: fans get loud under load, 60hz feels a bit dated once you notice it, and no dedicated GPU so heavy gaming is not really a thing.
more of a productivity machine. no real issues either, just does what I need.

They also recently released a new model saying it can handle davinci resolve, and some aaa games. If price drops later, I might grab one again just to test.
