I did my first post on red_dit last night on @dotnet group. I was not aware that the number of views is WAY more than X. My post has over 33k views and it's the 3rd trending post in .NET today 🤪.

Of course, you can ask AI to produce a promotional image!

I spent two evenings of about three hours each, and I’m mind-blown by what AI was able to produce just through prompting and using the Hot Design visual designer. My final advice: give Uno Platform Studio a try and have fun with it.

My last feature was to replace the basic title bar with a custom one. I knew that Uno Platform team added this feature on their last update and thanks to the integration of the Uno Platform MCP server, the AI agent was able to use this new capability. It gives a better look for

The biggest flaw of AI came when I asked for the track list from Taylor Swift’s latest album. It gave me the album before the last one, so I had to search the web myself 😅. I then asked Copilot to create a C# array with the track times. It’s the most “manual” code I’ve inserted

The fluent version of my app was taking shape. The biggest piece of the puzzle was to sync the time, the transport control buttons to make the app more realistic. I asked the agent to move the hardcoded data to the view model and implement the commands. I did the UI adjustments

Following the success of the previous control, I pasted another image and asked “create a control based on SkiaSharp of the wave chart and animate it”. I was wowed by the output. I didn’t prompt anything else of it. I just asked to insert it above the band sliders. Also, it

I focused next to add the amplifier. I pasted the image and prompted “create a control based on SkiaSharp and animate it”.

The initial interface is obviously not 100% exact, but it’s very impressive. It saves hours of work.

My setup: • @VisualStudio • Uno Platform MCP server • Uno Platform Hot Design • @github Copilot • @dotnet My starting point was to paste an original screenshot of Winamp and prompting “create the winamp interface”.

Last night, my @github Copilot started to fail. Clicking Show Log was showing a JSON output with the string "You have exceed your token usage". For a product like @VisualStudio, I would expect a better UI than a JSON message !!

I can't let @matteiomattei have all the fun on X with the @UnoPlatform AI Challenge. I'll share my demo in a few days. My app is a revisit of an old app that people used during the 1997-2000 era.

I can't win our AI Challenge, but I can still participate. Took the coffee shop prompt and turned it into a polished espresso app with @UnoPlatform Studio AI. 5 days left to enter, + a live stream tomorrow with workflow tips for the final sprint. Show us what you build 👇

Amazing customer service by @secretlabchairs. I had a cosmetic issue on the back and an arm rest being used a lot and then they sent me a free replacement even if I am past warranty by almost two years. Thumbs up to them!
