Join me as I chat with Meng To, Founder of Aura, to discuss how to elevate AI-generated designs beyond generic templates by using proper prompting techniques. He demonstrates how providing AI with specific context about layouts, typography, colors, and animations results in more professional and unique designs. The conversation highlights how thoughtful design creates user trust and can be a competitive advantage for startups. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - Giveaway Winner 1 Announcement 02:37 - Problem with generic AI-generated designs 03:22 - Developer-focused vs designer-focused AI tools 05:03 - Explanation of design framing and styling elements 08:06 - Demonstration of prompt builder and results 19:17 - Advice for product builders 26:18 - Meng's journey building Aura Key Points: • Current AI tools like V0 and Lovable create generic designs that lack uniqueness and taste • Using prompt builders with specific design vocabulary helps create more professional, unique designs • Understanding design elements (typography, layout, colors, animations) is crucial for effective AI prompting • Better design increases user trust and allows creators to charge more for their products LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.

After writing a viral article called “The Missing Tool” I was fortunate to meet Gab and Nim who are the co-founders of a startup called Dessn.Dessn is a new way to ship design changes without having to write code. Their extension overlays a Figma-like interface on your live web app so designers can easily make changes. Their AI then writes the code and pushes it to your Github. That means designers can now contribute directly to production.Over the last few months we've had regular jam sessions about the future of design tooling, how AI impacts software creation, and everything in between…These jam sessions have been some of the most inspiring conversations I've had this year. So this week's episode is a way to loop you in on some of those conversations. We go deep into:The future of design systems with AICrafting a product strategy in today's landscapeNavigating the idea maze as an early stage founderWhat it means to have an “AI native” product strategyHow the flattening of the talent stack impacts designersWhy Nim was so inspired by the head of design at UnsplashWhat “taste” looks like when operating as a creative directora lot moreCheck out the Dessn websiteNim mentioned V0.dev as a way to create software (also might like Meng To's recent episode)The short story Library of BabelStudio Ghibli animation studiosGraza olive oil as an example of what a strong brand looks like in a commoditized product line

One of the most impressive things I've seen a designer make all year is Meng To's Dreamcut.It's the perfect example of what it looks like to transition from traditional designer to builder

Meng To, founder of Design+Code, joins John to go on a deep dive into SwiftUI from a design perspective, and to talk about how developers and designers can build scalable and flexible UIs using it. Also, structuring view code and components, the power of modifiers, and how SwiftUI compares to other UI tools and platforms.

本届 WWDC 虽然亮点不多，但怎么也是「IT 界春晚」。Leon 和 JJ 并没有进行直播，所以就让我们用一期节目来聊聊吧。请注意本期节目里所指的 WWDC 都是代表 北京时间 6 月 5 日凌晨的 WWDC Keynote 演讲，而整个 WWDC 包含了非常多的内容，比如上周邮报里强烈推荐的「Designing Fluid Interfaces」和我台史上第一位赞助商柳东原分享的「Creating Apps for a Global Audience」，完整目录可以移步 WWDC 官网更正：其实很早以前 Apple 的发布会已经是用不带「色相」的 Keynote 背景了，只不过之前几次还是有渐变的，这次真·纯色了。再更正：最近似乎 JJ 和腾讯产品的改版节奏杠上了……节目里提到的腾讯视频全屏播放时的样式已经更新了。内容提要03:31 什么？搞半天 Leon 根本就没看发布会？05:43 这次的场地有点儿特别，感觉乔老爷最后的影子也消失了12:35 这次的演讲者也有点儿特别15:44 从 iOS 开始聊聊最近几个大厂发布会22:47 前小米员工谈雷军的「台风」24:55 前锤子员工谈「R1」的发布会29:20 差不多真的开始聊 iOS 了35:35 某主播对这次的 Siri 更新很失望39:52 Memoji vs. Mii48:16 深色主题 or 夜间模式？本期赞助Design+Code: 来自 Meng To 的 iOS 设计和开发教程已经出到第二季的「Design+Code」教程登陆国内，由著名的全栈设计师/开发者 Meng To 出品，通过大量视频和实例从零开始教你如何设计、开发 iOS 应用，原价 50 美刀，现上架 Price Tag 商城仅售 256 RMB~参考链接让 Leon 错过了发布会的「乌龙派出所」2001 年乔布斯发布初代 iPod 时的 Keynote 背景知乎专栏上的一篇文章：为什么苹果发布会的幻灯片要使用渐变背景Google I/O 2018小米 8 发布会「互联网女皇」Mary Meeker 今年的报告（渣排版，意思意思看看就行）Apple 官方的 iOS 12 介绍页面，以及 macOS Mojave 和 watchOS 5两个老男人沉醉在捏脸体验中我台的培训计划 Anyway.Academy特别感谢本期封面来自 Claire Brear，BGM 全部来自 Fugue，作者包括 Uncleboris、Nordgroove、Ilya Truhanov、Stanislav Vdovin、Alexei De Bronhe

Panel: Jaim Zuber Gui Rambo Special Guests: Meng To Marcos Griselli In today's episode, iPhreaks speaks with Meng To and Marcos Griselli about Design Code. Design Code is an interactive book and app on how to design and code an iOS 11 app.  Meng and Marcos talk about early career challenges building an iOS app. Meng talks about solving this problem with their Design Code book and app and making the process faster and intuitive. This is great for developers who want to learn to build an iOS app with little to advance knowledge. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Design Code Platform Books and resources How big is the team? Designers and Developers working together, challenges and wins Not Prototype Code, Real Code Auto layout in Design tools What can developers learn from designers? Margins Design guidelines Negative Spacing iOS 11 design changes Developing for iOS 11 How can I decide between regular titles and large titles? Transitioning from web to mobile design Tab Bars Design Language and Guide Lines and much more!

Meng To is the author of Design + Code. Meng started off his career as a self-taught graphic designer who transitioned to digital work. Wanting to move to San Francisco to learn from some of the best designers in the world - designers who were passionate about solving problems - Meng managed to stay for a year until his visa expired and he could no longer continue to work. His dreams were crushed. With nothing left to lose, and at a crossroad in his career, he set out to travel the world. He soon decided to launch a product while on his adventure. Having started to blog about a new app called Sketch, Meng quickly settled on teaching others how to design with it, and then how to bring those same designs to life through quick prototypes using xcode. Design + Code was born. Two year later, Meng is still just as passionate about helping people learn how to implement their designs as real products and continuing to build & grow Design + Code as a full time job. He’s created several products and libraries since then - some paid, some free - to keep supporting his works and the students that have been using Design + Code. Meng joins us to share his story, what motivated him to launch Design + Code, how he grew it into a full time project, what it was like to travel for 2 years, what it’s like being a new parent, and much more!

For episode 36, we got to spend some time with Meng To discussing what makes a great product, how to get started with design and development, and what it takes to build a thing. Meng's an incredibly talented creator and we're grateful he was able to take a break from helping people get started in our industry to hang out with us for an hour or so!
