Show HN: I made a SaaS UI kit for Figma - seeking someone to implement
by AlexeyKrivov | 2025-04-01 14:13:09+00:00
Hi, I’m Alexey

I quit my job last year to develop a design system for Figma because I love creating products from scratch, product design is my passion. Marketing hasn't been my focus lately, as I've spent the past 2 years deeply involved in designing, balancing it with my main job when I had one. But I'm working on improving that aspect now.

While it works well in Figma, I want to evolve it into a full frontend library, similar to what my competitors have done. I'm considering Shadcn frontend library for the implementation, though my frontend development experience is limited

1. Can anyone recommend which framework to choose? React, Shadcn, Vue? I'm ready to learn it myself. I have time this summer. 2. If you're interested in implementing an open-source library — I'm ready to consult, promote, and share profits in the future if things take off. Write to me at alexey@glowui.com or dm me on X: @glow_ui

Glow UI site — www.glowui.com

**

More details about Glow UI if you interested in:

1. It's a big library already and updates regularly. You can check this in the preview file 2. It provides a very good variable structure — I think it's the best on the market 3. There’s a wireframing mode for prototyping 4. Dark theme 5. 440+ custom icons included 6. 40 responsive templates

Thanks for help!

The dopamine from an image edit like this is such a short term gain for all the long term effort that went into perfecting and performing a specific art style and it becoming a name and cultural _thing_. Groups of people staking their careers around something.

If the technology stays, the commercial incentives to produce art with such a depth and craftsmanship will cease to happen (unless perhaps new styles would be generated to feed an LLM as part of an art pipeline? Maybe? Wishful thinking most likely). You won't be able to stand up a company like Studio Ghibli in the new market. You'll have a harder time even standing up a career as an artist in general, let along getting enough to come together to form a studio. This will be the last time art creation like this happens. You may love Ghibli, but this will kill the process the allowed Ghibli to form.

---

Spread across all such art styles, art itself no longer signals any quality of the minds or depth of effort behind its creation. We will have to look elsewhere for things to love and that have meaning.

> Local media reported that three people died in the incident that’s likely to spark scrutiny over the smart driving software deployed in many of today’s cars.

This part makes me believe it wasn't scrutinized before, because otherwise the wording would have been different. Maybe something like "further scrutinized" or something else that indicates that it's actually been inspected and approved before.

C programmers had to learn plenty of new skills over the decades, but the core language knowledge remained transferable in a way that's rare. Someone who mastered pointers and memory management for Unix in 1980 could understand Linux kernel code decades later. The same C skills applied whether writing MS-DOS apps, embedded firmware, or early CGI web code. It's the consistency across wildly different computing eras that made C unique. No other mainstream language has spanned from mainframes to microcontrollers to web servers while keeping its fundamental approach intact. That's the kind of cross-domain stability that makes Rust worth watching.

>Roll a ball off of a standard classroom table. Use a 1990s wristwatch's stopwatch mechanism to start the clock when the ball rolls of the table. Stop the stopwatch when the ball hits the floor.

Our class had some kind of device that would either punch a hole, or make a mark on paper at a regular time interval. We attached a narrow strip of paper to the ball, and let it pull through the marking device as it fell from the bench to the floor. We then measured the distance between each mark, noting that the distance increased with each interval, using this to calculate g. I don't recall anything more than that, or how I did on that lab. I received a 50 one marking period for lack of handing in labs, but had a 90+ average otherwise in the class.

Look in the thunderbird source. The devs had to make a many hundreds of lines config for each mega-corp. So, yeah, the mega-corps are covered by major workarounds in major email clients. But for normal email clients it's very hit and miss.

And while OAuth2 is open it is a toolkit for making protocols, not a protocol. And each megacorps implementation is different and handled differently.

Also, what good is it to have a great house, an expensive car, and private tutored kids, if the outside of your house is a slum, the roads are too bad for your car, and your kids risk being kidnapped for ransom any time they go to play outside?

The rich through times always have had the delusion that their wealth will protect them and isolate them from society, with their private armies, private healthcare, private tutors and expensive villas. But if anyone looks at history, it always ends up the same way. Based on that knowledge, it's the rich that should be actively supporting equality and progress in society as if their lives depend on it.

"But you are right that Collateral did do something very new/unusual at the time, and that was shooting scenes in higher frame-rates than 24, and mixing multiple frame rates in a film. (This might not sound like much, but until this time, pretty much every film was 24fps for the previous eighty years and it had a very specific look that everyone's eyes/brains were conditioned for, unbeknownst to them.)"

Why was certain scenes in Collateral filmed in other frame rates than 24 fps (unless you are doing slow motion of course)? AFAIK it was never projected/shown in anything else than 24 fps.

> (...) the apparent legitimacy is enhanced by the fact that I used a complicated computer program to make the fit. I understand this is the same process by which the top quark was discovered.

This is both hilarious and more common than you might think. In my field of expertise (ultrafast condensed matter physics), lots of noisy garbage was rationalized through "curve-fitting", without presenting the (I assume horrifyingly skewed) residuals, or any other goodness-of-fit test.

>According to Xiaomi’s initial report, the car’s advanced driver assistance function had been engaged less than 20 minutes before the crash. Alerts were issued because the driver apparently wasn’t holding on to the steering wheel. Seconds after another warning was sent about obstacles in the road and the driver then retook control of the wheel, the car crashed into concrete fencing on the side of the road.

>According to the company’s marketing materials, Xiaomi’s Navigate on Autopilot function can change lanes, speed a car up or down, make turns or brake with minimal human input. However, the company advises drivers stay alert to traffic conditions and reminds them that “smart-driving” isn’t the same as “self-driving.”

>It’s illegal in China for drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel, even if advanced driver assistance is engaged.

The point of your comment was to imply that because you personally made some AI photos for your wife, and it made you happy, any argument that AI art could be harmful was null and void.

You're like the person who comes into threads about gun violence and says they don't see what the problem is, since they only shoot watermelons in their backyard.

Like, OK. You refuse to recognize the bigger issues at play, noted.

I believe you can't copyright a _style_ of art.

> no, you cannot copyright the Studio Ghibli art style itself. Copyright law doesn’t protect styles, techniques, or general aesthetics—like the hand-drawn, watercolor-inspired look with soft colors, detailed natural backgrounds, and whimsical vibes that Studio Ghibli is known for. It only protects specific, original works, like an individual film frame or character design from Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro.

And your answer... Doesn't seem to cover my question, I think. So the point of copyright is that the value of the style doesn't degrade?

Without getting into the validity of the source, let's look at what it says:

Here is the first sentence from the top answer:

`You are right. Inbreeding strongly increases overall homozygosity which subjects inbred individuals to diseases caused by rare recessive alleles.`.

Let's see what homozygosity means shall we?

https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/homozygous

`Homozygous, as related to genetics, refers to having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. Thus, an individual who is homozygous for a genomic marker has two identical versions of that marker. By contrast, an individual who is heterozygous for a marker has two different versions of that marker.`

In other words, errors can accumulate and are more likely to be expressed. Not "gene diversity" (this is a topic relating to evolutionary fitness, selection potential etc.), not "suppression". Error accumulation.

Which is the exact analogy I made initially.

I take it you wanted to start your list after islam arrived, but failed and doesn't know the muslims didn't arrive until 639 or so? And that's why you left out the roman pogroms?

It's for good reason sharia prescribes legal protections for jews, christian romans and byzantians persecuted jews incessantly.

Did you take your list from https://medium.com/@Ksantini/the-list-of-crimes-committed-by... ? And just assume it's correct and doesn't mix in a lot of christian pogroms against jews?

Edit: Zionism is mainly a protestant christian movement, it's a lot about historical revisionism regarding christian antisemitism. Most of the members are christians, the funding comes mainly from christians, the weapons are provided by christian countries, it's based on a naive distinctly protestant (i.e. 'literal' and cherry picked) reading of the Bible, and so on.

Yea, that’s what I thought, too. The prankster inadvertently floated a very unpopular plan that leadership had and proved it was unpopular before they could implement it. That was probably the root of what actually got admin pissed. Nobody gets disciplined for a harmless joke—you get in trouble when you make the boss’s boss’s boss look bad.

An interesting tidbit is that FSD is almost guaranteed to turn off before any accident occurs. Last I looked, the data was not available to see how long after FSD deactivation the accident occurred.

Note: I have an older Tesla, and actually quite like it. I don't have FSD, but I do have enhanced autopilot (EAP) and like it as well. That said, it is very easy to believe that people ignore the road for longer than they should with FSD/EAP turned on.

The grandparent comment also didn't mention the split between FSD miles/non-FSD miles. It is possible that FSD is so good, that every Tesla driver becomes useless when they are required to drive for themselves, and that is what drives the higher accident rate.

I have frequent ectopic beats that I feel as a flutter / heavy beat on my chest. The doc says it won't kill me but it is extremely uncomfortable at times. This has been a great material to learn about the inner workings of heart cells.

BTW Here's an ECG from my Apple Watch showing 3 such beats (you can't miss them): https://link.ekin.dev/l1Vc3Gdf

If you happen to have these, just get checked out by a cardiologist. They are almost always benign but the frequency / daily amount are reasons for concern.

But the most dangerous car model is the Hyundai Venue[1], which also brags about all their Hyundai SmartSense safety features. I'm sure the next few cars down the list also do the same. Maybe your ire should be directed at them as well?

Agreed. The advertisement oligopolies Alphabet and Meta basically destroyed special interest journalism, and regional journalism. These kinds of papers (special interest, regional) had an interest in long-term relationships with their readers, and at least somewhat of an incentive for honest and fair reporting. That's gone out of the window, leading to the SEO and algorithmic engagement wars of today.

Thanks for sharing, I honestly wish this company the best electric planes are a hard problem to solve and it's good to see anyone making an honest effort.

However to poke just a little fun this line stands out as a hilarious marketing claim that cannot possibly be true

"Almost all (98%) of UAE coastal residents are interested in riding a seaglider, according to our global consumer survey."

It's also interesting to note that the CEO has appeared on no fewer than 13 different podcasts between mid-2022 and last week which is I suppose how one would go about getting a high value US defence contract these days.

Well if thats the tip of the spear of FSD tech we're fucked, no way I will take robotaxi to work before I retire. Extremely limited environment well under control, almost always sunny, doing the same area for what - 10 or 15 years?

Can it drive in rain & snow on narrow non-marked roads, then join traffic jams (or not) on highway at 120kmh, then enter city and navigate obscure construction works around it, crazy aggressive cyclists and scooters and get me where I need, 100% reliably? Or lets say >99.995%, thats roughly human frequent driver level.

This is what I am willing to pay for, either as shared taxi or our own car, nothing less. Anything less is me doing all the driving requiring full attention, have that already in dumb cars.

One of the reasons I'm a big fan of Montessori especially in early childhood education is that it's really good at fostering the kind of intrinsic motivation that leads people to want to learn because they have some kind of project that it's going to help them move forward.

College kids are arriving with a transactional mindset because more and more that's what schooling has drilled into them for their entire student experience since grade school.

College used to be a thing people did to "round out" their education. You gain some life experience, read some great literature, debate lofty ideas, and meet friends who will go out into the world with you.

Now — especially when you factor the cost and the loans — people look at it as a checkbox and the evaluation is "what job will this get me."

There's two main systems in use globally:

1. The US system, where regulators define a set of tests and manufacturers self certify compliance

2. homologation based systems like China and the EU where those tests are performed by an accredited third party to receive type approval.

But testing is ultimately reactive, not proactive. It's hard to write appropriate tests for areas of new technology that don't impose unnecessary or silly constraints. These aren't the kinds of regulations that are easy to put out or roll back either. It takes upwards of a year in the US to go through the NPRM process, and several years for gradual rollout into force.

As someone involved in this space, I'm also extremely skeptical that there's any way to develop these kinds of systems without significant testing on public roads. That testing should be monitored and come with explicitly strict development guidelines, but alternative approaches have been tried many times and have not panned out when deployed in practice.

Wong Kim Ark. Granted, that's old. 1898.

Still, the current administration's renewed call to revoke birthright citizenship was via executive order, promptly blocked by courts. Currently the case seems to rest with the Supreme Court.

"anti-zionism" is not the same objecting Israel's war against hostage holding Gaza.

anti-zionism is being against Jews living in their homeland, promotion of terror against them and pushing for them being ethnically cleansed. Connecting that goal to the aftermath of the genocide attempt by Palestinian and the recent war in 7 fronts to against Israel is most definitely anti-semitism.

Well, it's a Pandora's Box. It's irreversible, so we as humanity should learn to cope with it. That's just reality. What's the alternative? Banning LLMs? Good luck because I have a few on my hard disk. And even if you make it illegal, how would you detect it? I could've used an LLM to write this comment, would you know?

I agree though that schools are even more in trouble now. But my point still stands: we have NO CHOICE. We must adapt, or Idiocracy awaits ;)

Or just ban non-mechanical interior releases? Whats the justification for electronic releases?

My cheap car has electronic locks on all doors but the mechanical interior releases defeat them (but not on the rear doors).

A neat feature I noticed the other day is that operating the release once won't let the door actually open, it only partially unlatches it and to open the door you have to hold the lever open and push the door. Great safety design.

I don't believe it's a moral choice, rather I would chalk it up to a lack of impulse/self control that causes the negative outcomes in every dimension. Could they have gone to university? Yeah, they were smart but they weren't interested in school work so that door closed on them fast. That's the self-control.

I can't say if what I witnessed in my friend group generalizes, for every burnout hacker there could be 10x as many who are wildly successful and are never caught. By definition we'd never know how many there are.

I guess an equivalent question is: My son is learning to drive, and he's discovered that speeding and driving on the edge, maybe even recklessly, is fun. How do I get them to straighten out before they do something stupid like street racing, or driving under the influence, and getting into an accident or arrested? Same answer: self control and impulse control.

I agree. Where I live in Florida, sometimes I look on the road, and there's easily a half dozen Teslas, and I rarely see them in accidents, but the few owners I know personal who have been in accidents have been due to other drivers. You can't make it perfect, but you can definitely get insanely safer. Airplanes are kind of the same, but we don't freak out over it.

Fair warning to those who are interested. If you are the kind of person who gets lost dabbling in configuration and customisation Koreader will keep you very busy with that. Once you get past that it is very worth it if you aren't tethered to your ereader's book store ecosystem (if it has one). On my Kobo ereader it is much much faster than the default interface and has extra bells and whistles that I really appreciate.

ZFS is not part of linux. It is a separate project that publishes both to FreeBSD and some shims so you can run it on Linux. FreeBSD pulls and directly integrates it, but for license reasons linux doesn't pull it in directly. Yes the upstream project does have some shims of linux use that they public directly, but FreeBSD is a first class user of that project while the linux shims are a hack that some in the kernel do not want to work.

I tried F# some years back when I was searching for a language to port my OCaml project in... It felt too much .NET-y and too much MicroSoft-y. And back then .net for linux had just been released and was somewhat unpolished.

It seemed that I had to learn C# in order to use F# properly and it seemed that porting it to C# was the saner option. I went with Rust after all and it seems to have been the right choice.

Why not zfs snapshots? Besides using Hyper-V machine snapshots, that's been the easiest way, by far, for me. No need to worry about the 20 different proprietary tools that go with each piece of software.

Each VM or container gets a data mount on a zvol. Containers go to OS mount and each OS has its own volume (so most VMs end up with 2 volumes attached)

Ah, I miss the days when this sort of soft plagiarism required a minimal level of effort and even some genuine research. It might even rise to the level of "acceptable" if she cited her sources more thoroughly. Sadly, as presented, her choice of both anecdotes and example materials makes it pretty clear that the author is mostly just rearranging Lowe's and Clark's words.

I think it is progress that with a single small cable I plug my laptop in and get 65W of power, multiple monitors, wired networking, and multiple USB devices. Everything that previously required a beefy big proprietary docking station just gets delivered by a single small cable. I can use that with my work laptop, my personal laptop, my wife's work computer, my wife's tablet, my handheld gaming device.

I think it is progress that now practically all my portable electronics are charged with the same charging cable, I don't need to bring several different chargers to keep my laptop and my phone and my e-reader charged when travelling.

But the system worked! Immigration and the economy consistently rank as voters’ two key issues. On immigration, the decades-long elite consensus was for more immigration, including illegal immigration. But voters successfully defeated that elite consensus. They voted for mass deportations, got a guy who has started doing mass deportations, and as of the latest Yougov/CBS polling, overwhelmingly approve of Trump’s deportation program (58% approve, 42% oppose): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/opinion-poll-trump-economy-tari....

Voters being able to override elite consensus to effectuate change to make the country more like what they want is the system working!

I'm 100% certain, you're regurgitating the typical anti-systemd shill that hates into a future where we might be so lucky that Linux users don't need to know anything about their init system. That day is a good day for Linux users if it happens.

I don't think not knowing all of what systemd does will turn Linux users into mindless drones and it's quite dismissive to take that stance, these are users that chose another OS for their out of their own free will.

> good weather

I always see this argument but it seems like they did fine through the recent SF storms https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/waymo-robotaxis-storm... Most of the US has non-freezing weather for most of the year, so aside from avoiding heavy rain, snow, and ice I’m not sure what more you want.

> straight roads

SF might have mostly straight roads, but it has complicated intersections, bed drivers, cyclists, double parked cars, etc.

Waymo would do fine in any major city most of the year under most conditions.
