I am stuck in a loop where i spend way too much time polishing the interface before even testing the concept with real users. part of me knows people only care if the app solves their problem but i always get worried an ugly dashboard will tank the conversion rate fr. how much energy do you guys honestly put into visual design before you have verified any user interest?
i have been messing around with different builders for client work and wanted to share something that actually came out looking professional lol. I had a client who needed a deep dive into the 2026 ev charging market in india but i didnt want to spend five hours manually digging through sources and formatting a doc.
Built the whole thing on runable with one detailed prompt. It generated a research grade report with actual citations and charts that i could just export and send over. I usually use cursor for the landing pages and notion for the project tracking but having an agent handle the heavy documentation part is a total vibe shift fr.
What is everyone else using to speed up the boring administrative deliverables?
tbh the worst part of any side project isn't the research or the idea, it's the 48 hours of formatting hell you go through just to make it look professional for a pitch or a launch.
I used to sink so much time into Figma and Notion templates trying to make a market research deck or a landing page look official so people would actually take me seriously lol.
Real talk, I've just started running my raw research through Runable instead. It basically takes the mess of data I have and spits out a research-grade document or a full landing page structure in like 10 minutes.
It’s a weird feeling having the boring production side done so fast, but it’s actually letting me spend time on the parts of the project I actually like building.
Is anyone else automating the professionalism part of their workflow, or are you guys still doing the manual Figma/Indesign grind for your deliverables?
