yup, starting with one state, i've noticed for things like toggles, hover states, etc its usually alright if i just give it both of them but will add more explicitness to the prompt rather than just copying and pasting.
Oops I may need too
I’m curious if full pages mileage may vary, but as someone who struggles with the frontend aspects at times. This has been helpful.
Also for context working in CSS/tailwind. I’ve found using tailwind has more success with AI Agents, assuming bc of the specificity
My process:
- take designs from UX designer on Figma
- select them in dev mode with the prompt and make sure local MCP server is turned on
- make sure my IDE has Figma MCP turned on
- paste into agent
- go!
I’ve been doing it for smaller components for now, vs full pages
the @figma.com MCP server and devmode is :chefs-kiss:
Its magic watching it implement features and updates
less ugly butt, more juicy butt.
any bugs on my site are now artisianal handcrafted features tyvm 💕
leaving little typos in my portfolio so you can tell a human made it
screenshot into a code agent with the prompt "the spacing still looks like butt, please fix."
i ❤️ frontend 🫠
(all jokes aside, i've referenced @nerdy.dev's materials a ton recently working to get better so i'm not swearing at robots to make things purdy)
Some days even *I* find myself exhausting.

The world is a little extra rage-y lately (at least for me)

I have genuinely *never* seen an NYC mayor get an ovation from a TV crowd before. I thought we were contractually obligated to boo them.
I’m not a germaphobe until it comes to traveling then I’m like PLEASE STAY HOME YOU SNOTTY SNIFFLY DISGUSTING GOOBERS.

For those asking why I am asking about ICE funding NOW, the government runs out of money this month and Congress has yet to pass the Homeland Security bill. ICE won’t be abolished, but Democrats can hold up the bill
they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.
if you think about it - the White House is just a really really expensive retirement home.
The only cost is our democracy.
Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.
Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

I can tell who lives here and who’s visiting based on if they STOP AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS OR DOOR TO LOOK AT THEIR PHONE.
please move.
I love New York
ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
I just submitted to present at #ATmosphereConf ! This is an awesome opportunity to share your unique perspective with the community.
The CFP is here: news.atmosphereconf.org/3m6z2b7ovyk2...
