Show HN: Real Design Benchmark – can you tell AI designs from real products?
Hi HN, I'm Adam Ginzberg, one of the cofounders of Subframe, a code-first design tool. One of the things I'm really curious about is understanding LLM performance on subjective domains like design. As an experiment I built this game which presents two designs of the same screen, one of which was generated by AI.

Show HN: Ito – Build Terminal UIs in Lua
My friend and I are huge Neovim nerds. We like to rice our terminals and our editors. We just wanted a harness that we can do the same with, rice it till our hearts' desire. So, we started looking out for harnesses. Pi was great, Pi was good. But in the end, it was JavaScript. I don't have anything against JavaScript, but Lua is more fitting, and I can just as easily base it in Rust to make it even faster. So, we started cooking, and we ended up with a design that's minimal at its core and is bu...
