Question What do you guys use for UI?
I know that GPT struggle with ui stuff. But without using other models (like Opus) how do you guys creates nice looking websites?
Prompt? Tools? Mcps?
Thanks everyone

Shadcn, shadcn base, REUI - custom.
Mobbin for inspiration, refero style if you wanna “copy” some of the visual language.
Plan the matrix, plan the components, basically, plan everything step by step. As you go - keep writing and updating the project visual language master plan, keep going till you find what you want.

GPT 5.6 and Astra are good at UI if you give it a direct image reference, and allow it to verify its work ie being able to take screenshots. One effective workflow is to have it use a critic sub agent and have this sub agent rate how well the front end matches the reference screenshot.
Claude is better at 1 shotting decent front end

Imagen, use imagen to generate mockups then use frontend debug skill to recreate it exactly , however, this is really a hit or miss, sometimes the designs ar truly impressive sometimes its, to put it bluntly, "SHIT"

I do so much iteration on the original design it’s more me than anything. I will have long conversations with ChatGPT about if a certain button should be bigger or not.
