I've been a little skeptical of the ai builders add-ons. because a lot of brands show you one thing in the promo, and then when you try it out yourself, it's pretty useless.
But Framer 3.0 is the first one that actually, surprised me for the better, and I didn't come out just okay with it.
I was pretty blown away by the results, since I barely needed to change anything about them.across three different projects this week, I used it to rename layers
redefine assets, help me optimize the sites,
fill out placeholders, help me with configuring assets, components, and a CMS library.
And the best part was that after I went to check all the changes, it was close to perfect.
I'm so surprised, and I really wish more companies did the same thing and same execution.
The best feature is often the one you remove🦕
When you’re building a dashboard or a website, it’s easy to just keep adding more options. Good product design is actually mostly about prioritization. Every extra element can distract the user.
Making things simple is always the hardest part, right?
How do you decide what to cut? Do you find it easy? Let’s chat below!
Totally agree – subtraction is one of the hardest design skills to develop. I usually ask 'what breaks if I remove this?' and if the answer is 'nothing much,' it goes. The tricky part is that adding feels like progress, while removing feels like going backwards, even when it's the opposite.
