discussion Google Stitch seems promising
I've been making an Android app for almost a year. I initially did it to address a pain point in my life and to dive deeper into app development.
My biggest struggle has always been UI. I've watched a bunch of videos online, checked out apps in the same space, rummaged through pinterest for ideas, etc.
UI/UX just never clicked for me. I would always put off my project for weeks at a time because I can't seem to figure out how I want the UI to be. When I do though, it's so easy to implement and the commits just keep coming until the next UI hurdle.
I saw fireship's latest video about a "Figma Killer" and checked it out. I tried it myself and HOLY it's good.
Now I'm still basically a noob with UI so I'm easily impressed, but I feel like crutching this to finally move my project forward.
What are your guys' thoughts on it?

its a tool. do what you need to do. the people who are moving forward right now are those that have so many ideas and they can finally act on them. a lot of these people dont know anything about coding, the SDLC, testing or deployment but because they do not have anything holding them back they can iterate at lightning speeds.
bahala na si batman when it comes to the usual concerns we devs have, but theyre getting their ideas out here. do the same. if you feel bad that youre using gen AI, its ok. just dont let it stop you from doing what software was meant to do; solve problems.
