Intro
I'm James from the UK - working on an AI browser extension for web design
What are you working on these days?
www.designgui.io - the browser extension for working with colors in CSS Variables.Â
• See and update colors in your design system.
• AI-generated color palettes.
• Accessibility testing.
• Special support for daisyUI and shadcn/UI. More UI libraries coming soon.Â
I posted a 40 second demo on X: https://x.com/jchetters/status/1804127628040802453Â
What can the WIP community help you with right now?
If my project is of interest I'd love feedback. I've used the AI generation feature for simple things, but I really need more people to try it for their use cases to know how well it works.Â
I'm also curious how you approach design for side projects / indie businesses?Â
What can you help others with?
Happy to give advice on anything technical, especially in the UI or design system space.Â
Something else you want to share?
I'm a Digital Nomad. In the UK currently but I'll be travelling though Michigan, Colorado and California for August to October. Any cool sites / meetups I should check out?Â

Hi James, welcome to WIP!
Design GUI looks intriguing. I'm a Tailwind CSS user myself. Is it useful for that or is it geared more towards people managing their own CSS?
Hey Marc. The extension just needs you to be using CSS variables. It doesn't intrinsically matter if you're also using Tailwind or not.
Having said that you get some extra features if you're using daisyUI or shadcn/ui. You can recreate these features with a custom configuration (www.designgui.io/docs#custom-…), but if you're using either of those libraries you get them out of the box.
