Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • yeah man, the frontend is currently a disaster 😭
  • I would really love it if openAI focused some love on the front-end design so I don't have to turn to Claude for it.
  • Aye, its like highschool kids at work with designing.
  • I just wish Codex and Claude both pushed back on my frontend design ideas rather than leaning into them if they’re not good lol
