alt Hacker NewsI’d love to see this experiment executed with Claude design.
Particularly with something static, I don’t think they’d fail to get a result.
But without domain knowledge I think they’d misunderstand prototype with finished product.
Without knowing what it’s doing, it’s hard to know what it’s not doing.

My non-technical cofounder managed to vibe code a holding page with Claude Design and it walked him through deploying it to Netlify.
However for some reason it had him deploy a single HTML file with all the assets encoded as a huge base64 blob in the code that required a massive amount of JavaScript to extract and render.

As decades-exp SWE I love using Claude Design for any kind of app and web development, because it gives much faster visual feedback loop than changing views within deep framework stack. It much easier to "tell" coding agent what I need instead of writing wall of prose to define visual stuff.
I reminds me old WYSIWYG and unlike Figma it has full HTML/CSS capabilities available.
How I work with it:
- I ask agent to extract part of app into Design, let it even use playwright-cli to get full rendering of the particular view.
- perform design session in Design.
- once design system is perfected I go down to Claude Code dungeons, do /design-sync.
- perform on the stack implementation session.
Actually you don't need Claude Design UI for any of that too. Just ask any coding agent to prepare local mock HTMLs and iterate over them.
