Frontend devs don’t choose UI libraries anymore - we survive them.

MUI, Chakra, Mantine, Shadcn/ui… new ones every week.

After years of confusion (and 20+ bookmarked libraries 😅), I’ve found clarity in one simple question

Shared my thoughts here in a short blog👇

exactly.

Chase boring problems. They have the biggest budgets.

Communicating a complex technical idea simply to a non-technical person is a highly underrated skill.

the speed at which everything moves is crazy and scary at the same time.

learn how to code it still matters

build a strong foundation for yourself.
learn how to code. coding isn't just about writing code it's about problem solving.
you cannot just vibe code your way through real projects.

you need structure, logic, clarity.
#buildinpublic

Design→Plan→Code.

I tried an AI that previews the plan before it touches my repo.

Kombai reads Figma frames, shows a task-optimized plan, then generates React + CSS aligned to common libraries. Preview before you save.

Used it to prototype UI faster,paste a Figma link and preview yourself. #ai

Stop asking, "Would you use this?"

It's the worst question for validating an idea. People are nice. People will lie to you.

Ask for an email for a waitlist. That's a maybe.

Ask for a private beta. That's a yes.

dunning kruger effect

- i can rebuild instagram in a weekend.

- i know nothing. everything is a complex mess. I'm a fraud.

- that 'simple' fix touches three legacy services and can break the software. be careful.

"it's important to know where you stand!"

Stop waiting for the next AI model.
Stop debating ethics on Twitter.
Stop consuming AI tutorials.

Pick one problem.
Start building.

staying consistent on X isn’t easy.

some days it feels like shouting alone.

i’ve had streaks where I posted for weeks. then disappeared weeks.

but for last few months, i’m back with a better approach focusing on the input (showing up + sharing journey), not obsessing over output

Stop asking for feedback. Start asking for advice.

When you ask for "feedback," people get critical and start poking holes. It puts them in a negative mindset.

When you ask for "advice," people become collaborative. It puts them in a helpful mindset.

#buildinpublic

you need:
→ a painful problem
→ a better solution
→ a "buy now" button

#buildinpublic

Your AI co-pilot is:

→ Writing your code
→ Generating your marketing copy
→ Generating posters

The future of leverage is here. Use it.

#ai #buildinpublc

Ship fast.
Get feedback.
Iterate.

You've read every post on Indie Hackers.

You've bookmarked 50 SaaS ideas.

Your email is full of success stories.

Stop planning.
Start shipping.

99% of posts flop for one reason.

They don't give the reader a value.

Treat your business like a product, not a project.

As a dev, you think in terms of projects. They have a start and an end. You launch, and you're "done." You move on to the next cool thing.

A business isn't a project. It's a system that needs to run forever.

v1 is not the final product. It's a test.

The only goal of your first version is to validate that the core problem is real and someone will pay for the core solution.

What working in a startup for an year looks like 🟢
Here's mine
#buildinpublic

Your SaaS needs scheduling, so you start building a calendar component. It needs chat, so you start building a real-time message system. You are rebuilding solved problems.

Your job is not to build everything. It's to solve the customer's core problem.

If onboarding has a tooltip >10 words, users already rage-quit.

is it so?

Why is everyone building desktop apps only for mac OS? What's the reason behind it?

Shoutout to live coding — now all my non-technical friends finally understand how painful debugging is. They'll never question me again 😅
