I keep rebuilding the same UI over and over (dashboards, forms, login screens).
Not the logic — just the structure and layout.
It’s not hard, just repetitive.
Lately I’ve been experimenting with scaffolding UI from prompts and then refining it manually.
What I’ve noticed so far:
- It’s surprisingly good at scaffolding layouts quickly
- Still needs cleanup (spacing, consistency, structure)
- Feels more like a “starting point generator” than a full solution
I’m not sure yet if this actually saves time long-term or just shifts where the effort goes.
Curious if people here are actually using this in real work or just experimenting.
Are you:
- still building everything manually
- using templates
- or experimenting with AI-generated UI?
