Ik we all are building something should look great. But let me remind you we shouldn’t use LLMs to build those designs. Here is the playbook i used and helps me build clean designs looks like an enterprise design.

Let me specify here its not for designers who knows everything its for those who missed out and still wants to get better designs or something closer to that which you can iterate effectively once base is created.

1. Visit your competitors websites and apps and take a screenshot of all the things you like and dislike or screen record it.
2. Go to claude/chatgpt/gemini chats add those files there.
3. Start voice to text mode and start defining what you are trying to build what it does and how your expectations meeting those images.
4. Add what needs to be changed on your side and what extra or less you needed.
5. Tell it to add support to multiple browser engines and different browser screens sizes with multiple widely used devices and optimize it.
6. Mentions it to create military phases to tackle every aspect of components while building and take care of primary and secondary components, fonts and etc.
7. Before that make sure you add googles DESIGN.md from their GitHub. Helps AI to stick with a proper design system.
8. Ask it to create and design plans with professionalism generate a .md file at end as a prompt.

Copy it and add it to your project and add the file to chat and see it work and iterate on things which got missed.

Ik there are tooks like stich/claude design or etc. but this is a bit faster way to get things done.

Let me know what you use might help others out there.

Hi, I’m Roni — a software engineer, recently in the top 8% for YC Startup School.

I’m using my Startup School credits to build the platform, an event hosting platform built for communities running recurring events, not one-off organizers.

The gap I kept hitting: most event tools assume a single event and hope people show up. Communities need more than that — WhatsApp-native reminders (most people here don’t check email for events), offline QR check-in that doesn’t fall apart at the door, and a reputation layer so organizers know who’s actually reliable.

Brand and positioning are locked (violet/gold, name comes from “hesperos,” the Greek evening star). Next milestone: ship the MVP and onboard the first ~20 community here

Will make the initial announcement by next few weeks but willing to get the waitlisting page up for early access to people out there.

Building this mostly solo right now. If you’ve run community events — what’s the one thing that always breaks for you?

Hi, I’m Roni Im currently working on multiple projects as a contractor at archive.org and consultant at different org for the product I co-created for public good you can find it on my portfolio :)

As I spent a good amount of time learning from great minds and getting mentored, I was handpicked at a YC startup school event. I have been figuring out some boring companies out there making millions or billions. India has a large population, and competitors are 1-3, and a few others got into something else but don’t get into this category. I am willing to spend an amount of time building a prototype and then move to YC applications this summer or the next batches. Won’t be pushing myself to find a co-cofounder this early but will look to it later.

If this doesn’t work, I will spend building multiple products and release them here on Reddit or X to see how many issues I’m trying to solve during this period. YC credits gave me an opportunity to build something and ship it without worrying about anything other than building a great product.

Why I am writing this post?

I need few experienced founders or VC’s out here.

For the founders build a million dollars worth company right now.

a. How did you check the Market fit for your product? The product I will be building has a good reputed competitor, how can I overcome that fear of competition…

Thanks for your thoughts below..
