Hacker News·37wReshaped is now open-source
Reshaped, a design system that bridges React components and Figma libraries, has become fully open source after five years of paid development. The creator initially built it to solve the 80% of common web design patterns while providing flexibility for custom solutions. After making the React package free two years ago, both the React library source code and Figma library are now publicly available on GitHub and Figma Community respectively.
UX Planet·35w7 UX Skills that will be DEAD by 2026: AI will replace them
Seven traditional UX design skills are predicted to become obsolete by 2026 due to AI automation and changing industry demands. Static wireframing in Figma is being replaced by interactive prototypes built with AI-powered tools like Replit and Lovable. Manual handoffs to developers are giving way to design-to-code workflows that generate functional components. Traditional usability testing is being supplemented by AI-driven analysis and hybrid testing systems. The shift moves away from designing for average users toward adaptive, personalized experiences, replacing click-based navigation with gesture-first patterns, and emphasizing data-informed decisions over intuition. Modern UX designers must understand business metrics and ROI to remain strategically relevant.
Atlassian·37wBehind the screens: Building Atlassian’s new icon system
Atlassian redesigned their entire icon system after six years, moving from 350+ inconsistent icons to a unified system with thinner strokes, consistent sizing, and better visual harmony. The project included building Icon Lab for team contributions, creating automated migration tools, and establishing clear naming conventions. Over 275 new icons have been contributed, with migration tools handling 16,000+ code changes across their products.

UX Planet·36wYour 2026 Roadmap to become a UX (AI) Designer: A lot has changed
A comprehensive guide for aspiring UX designers in 2026, emphasizing the integration of AI tools and coding skills into traditional design workflows. The roadmap covers understanding the reality of UX work beyond visual design, learning 'vibe coding' with tools like lovable.dev and Tailwind, using AI assistants like NotebookLM and ChatGPT for learning and prototyping, specializing in high-demand niches like healthcare and fintech, and strategic job hunting approaches. The guide advocates for building functional prototypes rather than static mockups and developing both technical and soft skills for modern UX roles.
Hacker News·34wPairing with Claude Code to Rebuild My Startup’s Website
A non-technical founder shares their experience rebuilding their startup's website using Claude Code and AI coding agents. The process took weeks instead of months, allowing them to implement high-fidelity designs from Figma without learning to code from scratch. The workflow involved using VS Code, Claude Code CLI, GitHub CLI, and Figma's MCP server, following standard development practices like branching, pull requests, and code reviews. While powerful, the experience revealed several challenges including Claude's inconsistent response quality, file management issues with the Figma integration, and the need for constant human oversight to prevent the AI from making unrelated changes.
