7 years building Uxcel. 500k+ learners. And until Monday I had 19 followers on X. That mismatch is embarrassing, so I'm fixing it in public. 30 days, real numbers, including the ugly ones.

If a new visitor can't tell what your product does in 5 seconds from the hero section, nothing below it matters. Drop your product link below. I'll run the 5 second test on it myself, no AI, and tell you honestly what I understood.

Building at AI speed. Eyes at 2019 speed. We built an arcade to train the eye. Five free games, no signup.

Where do you do the last 5% of UI polish? I'm Figma. Not sure that's still cool.

Every AI product launched this month has the same purple gradient, the same centered headline and the same three feature cards. And it's fine. Nobody's punishing it yet. The products that win won't look different. They'll be the ones that teach you how to use them in the first 60 seconds.

Uxcel today (left) vs where it's going (right). Same question, but one you read and one you play with.

Quizzes shouldn't be static screenshots. First pass at making Uxcel's questions something you can actually touch.

I wish I had this when I was just starting out. Now I wish @dovhyi would add an llms.txt so my agents can use it too.

Put on the spectacles 👓 and let’s see what ya got

Team @uxcelapp is in the process of a massive product makeover. We’re talking Twitter to X levels of change. Doing this one in public. Drop a 👀 in the comments and I'll keep you posted on each step.

Did some research.

AI products all look the same. And that's fine. If you're not using AI to build, you're years behind. My advice is to build as much as you can. You'll only get better.

Designers, PMs and Devs are all going to get rearranged. Not a little. Massively. The ones who make it won't be the best at pushing pixels or writing tickets. They'll be the ones with a clear vision of what to build.
