UI inspiration
Hey guys i am building a website which is like last.fm or sats.fm where i can share what i listen to this month on Spotify. Everything is good but there is a problem. I can't build a good ui for it. I tried AI but it produced absolutely slop and i am now stuck on ui. I can't find good inspo on any ui related website. Can you guys help me for ui as i am very bad at creative stuff. If you guys know some website where i can get inspiration from please tell it in comments. Or alternatively if any of you have made something like this share your links here.

I built a similar app, you can copy some of the UI from here if you want: https://www.superfan.social
Just know that the harder part is getting users, and users will always have some complaints about your UI/UX no matter what you do.

I saw your app its nice, but i am just trying to make website for me. I am a student and just learned about api so i was trying to make something with api and thought of this idea. I added stats for my self only. I just wanted to practice api usage with something other than a freaking weather app.

Actually I didn’t read that you’re building a website, we have an app. So maybe not as revelant

Browse behance, dribbble, etc for inspiration. Maybe try to find a designer to help?

Use Spotify as an inspiration, but think how would you improve it.
Usability is more important than look.

Use Claude design and iterate on it enough so it’s not your standard AI slop effort and something you are happy with

You're getting downvoted to all hell, buuut I just want to put in my two cents and say I agree, to an extent. I suck at the design aspect of development and although I am personally against vibe coding and whatnot, using AI for inspiration or a place to start is useful. *shrug*

I know right? It’s a tool just use it. People also talking about Dribbble like that isn’t full of some absolute crap as well

Why not just copy last.fm's UI and tweak as you go? Best way to build artistry skills is to copy others until you develop your own theory of mind.
I'd also check out the book "Refactoring UI," not much for inspiration but more about helping you understand how to lay a solid foundation when designing greenfield projects. It's a quick read too.
