I just restyled a full saas app thats doing 50k in arr per month, bootstrapped. I already shipped it to production. A major UX/element/component overhaul.
It looks 10x more professional. I did it this afternoon, sitting on my couch. I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app, and gave it to claude code. I wrote no code, and did not even review the code. This field is truly on its way to full automation.
- stets 9mo agoThat's awesome! Totally agree.
- cpursley 9mo agoWhat do you mean by "I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app"?
- F7F7F7 9mo agoI’ll fill in the part between OPs story and “then they all clapped” that he left out. He’s likely talking about “Save As”ing or scraping the DOM for rendered HTML/CSS and feeding that to an LLM to convert to actual in app wired up components.
- Natfan 9mo agosorry but isn't this just theft²?
- quintu5 9mo agoWell you see he ran it through in through an LLM, but LLMs are lossy, so who can say if the output was a direct result of the copyrighted code or if the model focused on his unique prompting words and conjured the output from its own latent space without referencing copyrighted input at all? /s Alternatively, we could take the model makers’ view and say that if they didn’t want their code reused, they wouldn’t have made it publicly accessible on the internet.
- premiumLootBox 9mo agoI believe the OP already said he used AI.
- mikert89 9mo agothe time is coming when you can take screenshots of an app and generate a full backend. we are no where near the limits of what we are about to see happen to software. idk whats legal, but its soon an irrelevant question
- Natfan 9mo agolegality will soon be an irrelevant question? i genuinely fear the world which you would to usher into existence
- hackerInnen 9mo ago> This field is truly on its way to full automation. What do you even mean by that? Full automation of irrelevant, simple as hell, saas apps? Maybe yes. Everything else that actually needs some thought? Nah, not happening anytime soon - given that no genius with a brand new architecture comes around tomorrow. LLMs just ain't getting any better really. It's just micro steps by now
- lukan 9mo ago"LLMs just ain't getting any better really. It's just micro steps by now" The models itself, maybe yes. But the agents mixing model input and output with classical programming to achieve whatever you programm them to? That just has started to show it's potential.
- mikert89 9mo agowe are no where near the limits of models with regards to software
- wiseowise 9mo agoWhat industry are you in and what do you do there? I’m always baffled by these “actually needs some thought” that end up being just another CRUD. Maybe you’re Peter Norvig’s alt, or Linus casually browsing on a burner account?
- hackerInnen 9mo agoAnything that is safety related or needs signal control. So embedded systems and anything related. Aerospace, defense, anything. There is so so much stuff. Not even talking about AI writing HDL's. They just can't do it and put latches everywhere (they are bad. you should put registers instead)
- mikert89 9mo agoyou are completely delusional about whats about to happen, hope you have some money saved up

- llmslave2 9mo agoI can't imagine ever voluntarily divulging this kind of thing to others. Anyways, drop a link so we can see what an afternoon of vibe coding is capable of.
- HWR_14 9mo agoI mean, I can take the assets from very professional software and use that to make a clone even faster than one afternoon. Copying on disk is quick.
- MangoToupe 9mo ago> 50k in arr per month Annual recurring revenue per month? Which is it
- hu3 9mo agodo not share the link. they aren't engaging in good faith. haters are going to hate regardless.
