Hello all, the community migration is going great I want to see more of you inside, spark convos and get the help you need based on what you're building at the moment it's super easy to sign up and join Join Our New Community Spot I will DM you once you join, I am always available there see you all there hit me up if you have questions been building a ton lately so happy to interact with all of you there:)

I just figured out the best next step for this community. I’m moving it to AI Builders Club on Whop: https://buildersclub-ai.whop.site/ I think it’s a much better setup for what I want this community to become. The biggest change is that it’s built around chatrooms instead of forums. I’ve never liked communities where people feel like they have to spam posts just to earn points on a leaderboard. It never helped me, and I don’t think it creates much value. AI Builders Club will be much more direct. We can share what we’re building, ideas, problems, feedback, memes, useful finds, and whatever else comes up without turning everything into a formal post. Text is king. Fast communication is the point. I’ve been running this community for over a year, watching who joins, removing bots and suspicious accounts, and seeing a lot of genuinely talented people stick around. I’d like to see at least half of the current community move over. The people who do should benefit from having a much faster way to talk, help each other, and share useful things without relying on DMs or waiting around for replies. You can join for free here: https://whop.com/builders-club-drewskii/get-in-free/ Signing up on Whop is simple. I just used Gmail. I’ll sunset the current community in the next 1–2 weeks, so there’s plenty of time to move over and ask anything before then. I’m also documenting the whole migration. Once it’s done, I’ll probably turn it into a case study for anyone thinking about doing something similar.

Anyone else ever finish a design and then realize the next step is basically… “okay, now I need a developer”? 😅 That gap has been bugging me lately. I’ve been experimenting with treating the whole thing less like a design handoff and more like one continuous process: Context → Concept → Prototype → Build → Ship For the actual workflow, I’ve been using Figma for the design and prototyping, ChatGPT or Claude to help work through ideas and turn the structure into something buildable, and Floment to keep the projects, tasks, and actual shipping work organized. The biggest difference for me has been not asking AI to magically figure everything out from a screenshot. If I already know the context, the concept, and how the prototype should work, the AI part becomes way more useful. And honestly, the Ship phase is the one I’m trying to get better at. A beautiful design sitting in Figma is nice. A working URL is a lot more satisfying. Curious how other designers here handle that transition. Do you usually hand things off to a developer, build it yourself, or use tools like AI and Floment somewhere in the middle?

Rebuilt my portfolio site in ~2 hours for under $10 of AI credits. Recorded the whole thing. Went from a dashboard UI (sidebar, splash screen, animated background) to one clean page. Not much here that needs a big intro, just a real process you can watch. Two small things that made the difference: I fed the AI static HTML files of two inspo sites instead of describing them, and I cloned my own repo instead of starting over. One thing I still can't do: endless scroll. It keeps breaking with the sticky nav. If you know why, I'm all ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk-ww-yA-yQ New site is live: studiodrewskii.com
