DiffUI Creator: Explore Designs With Images First, Then Hand Them to Coding Agents
msg · x · 2026-09-19
This podcast episode features Jacob Miller (@pwnies), creator of DiffUI, on turning a project by @sawyerhood into a Warcraft-inspired coding workspace and fixing generic AI design slop.
- Core workflow: start from images, explore design directions, then hand those visual references to a coding agent to build the UI.
- Topics: customizing your coding environment around personal workflows; a tour of the Warcraft-style workspace; why he left Figma to bet on image models and why AI-generated designs look generic; turning visual references into working interfaces; keeping the whole app consistent instead of one pretty homepage; and a Fortnite-style game experiment.
