What’s the point in saying you built something beautiful and not showing it?
Share it. I used Claude earlier to test out its design capabilities and what I got as output was flat and tasteless.

It's kind of wild in terms of how it will use different random designs, even given a specific style guideline. Even if you tell it to use a given framework like MUI or Mantine, it will stray largely from format.
I don't mind working through a lot of the UI myself, but it's definitely a shortcoming IMO... that said, being able to scaffold boilerplate or testing harnesses for for complex UI has been really nice overall. I came up with the following component as an image zoom component, where I can separately control the zoom in/out in under a couple hours... took longer to setup the CI/CD stuff than the primary component logic.

Eh, for many reasons I am not posting it here. It is a passion project for something and would lead to problems if I post it here. That being said I was trying to share the technique.
The reason for the post is that even without the actual website one should be able to envision the technique and how it may or may not work. Also if you look above recently I added links to the Claude.md for another thing I was working on for a friend that also had to solve this problem.
Just want to give people the tools to use ai well from my own findings
Software developers have been calling their stuff "beautiful" for years now. It's bullshit. Almost none of it is beautiful. They just mean it looks like whatever is trendy at the time.
The Skeuomorphic stuff in the late 90s was beautiful.
Is Claude making tasteful and thoughtful recreations today? Or just cloning aesthetics and missing intention?
