I already had most types of blocks in the Pro version of my component library (ui-layouts), including hero sections, testimonials, pricing, FAQs, and more.

But I realized the footer was missing. After launching the template builder, it became obvious that without footer blocks, a site never really feels complete.

So I spent about a week designing and refining footer blocks, and now they’re finally done and published.

Hope you find them useful. Let me know what you think 🙂

After adding 100+ components to ui-layouts, I felt like the last missing piece was blocks.

So I started working on it, and now you’ll get:

• 75 unique and creative blocks
• 10 categories including Hero, About, Features, Pricing, and more

Built entirely with shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion.

Copy & paste directly with the shadcn registry:

npx shadcn add ui-layouts/hero-digital-success

I’ve been building UI-Layouts Pro, my first product that recently crossed $3K+ in total revenue. It’s been a long and honestly pretty tough journey, but also one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had so far.

What’s been really interesting is the growth pattern:

  • In the first ~6.5 months, it made around $1.5K
  • In the next ~4 months, it made another $1.5K

On the marketing side, I’ve been learning and iterating a lot in public. I’ve mainly been:

  • Shipping updates regularly based on feedback
  • Creating content on Twitter and Reddit to share progress
  • Improving distribution by open-sourcing related parts of the system

One big realization:
open source is extremely powerful when you’re building a developer-focused product. The open-source version of UI-Layouts is now getting around 80K+ monthly traffic/engagement, which has become one of the biggest drivers of discovery for the product.

Even more interesting, this ecosystem has started to grow beyond just one product:

These sub-projects are also contributing to traffic and helping build a broader developer ecosystem around the main product. That compounding effect has been huge for visibility and organic growth.

Right now, I’m still missing a proper user connection layer (like email marketing), which I plan to add soon. If you have any suggestions for email marketing, I’d really appreciate them.

The project itself is a UI template + website builder system with:

  • 10 production-ready templates
  • 100+ reusable blocks
  • A flexible builder to quickly assemble layouts

For now, I’m focusing on shipping, improving the product, and staying close to users through direct feedback loops.

Here's the project link: pro.ui-layouts.com

If you’re into UI systems, templates, or building faster with reusable components, I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback.

I’ve been working on a template builder using React + Tailwind, and recently added something that I haven’t seen much before.

Instead of just downloading templates, after building a layout (drag + drop), you can:

  • Copy it as CLI output
  • copy it as a structured prompt
  • use it in any AI tool like(Gemini, chatGPT, codex, loveable, v0 etc)

The idea is simple:
A lot of people are already using tools like AI coding assistants to tweak UI. So instead of exporting static files, you can directly take your template into those tools and continue iterating there.

So the workflow becomes:
Build → Copy → Paste into AI → Refine

I made a quick demo showing how it works.

I’m still figuring out if this is actually useful or just a cool idea, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

  • Does this workflow make sense to you?
  • Would you use prompt export over downloading files?
  • Anything that feels missing or unnecessary?

Tech stack: React + Tailwind

Here's the link: Template Builder

Happy to share more details if anyone’s interested.

I’ve been building a dev-first website builder, inspired by Framer/Webflow, but focused on real workflows.

It started as a template builder with reusable blocks. Now you can:
→ generate full Next.js/React projects
→ download or use them anywhere

Then I added shadcn CLI support with a clean prompt system — so you can tweak/update designs and just copy-paste into any AI tool (no need to download the whole project).

But there was a big gap, you couldn’t edit inside the builder.

And Now that’s fixed.

You can tweak content directly, then:
tweak → generate → download

The goal is simple: less setup, more building.

Launching in a couple of days, keep an eye on:
pro.ui-layouts.com/template-builder 👀

Would love your thoughts.
