Show HN: Noya – A new kind of design tool
Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured something else out.

Ask HN: Low code React builder for front end
Do you know of any open source drag and drop builders? I would love to be able to create my own components and drag and drop to combine them. If you know of any that are React specific, that would be great, but any builder would be helpful.
One example that I know of is https://openchakra.app/ for React apps that are using Chakra UI.

By Crayons and For Crayons
The original idea and inspiration for the Crayons Playground came from the full-featured visual editor and code generator for React using Chakra UI called openchakra. All the underlying architecture, code organization and design & communication patterns are borrowed from openchakra. The only difference is Crayons Playground doesn't make use of any JavaScript framework whereas openchakra is completely built using React.

Been working for 2 years on Plasmic, a visual builder for React. Create beautiful, optimized experiences, and bring your own React components. Speed up your dev time, or enable content editors/designers to publish without further requests on developers.
In a nutshell, I wanted to easily add in all the components / design system from Material UI or Ant Design into the drag and drop interface, so I can play around with them, in a way similar to https://openchakra.app/

Easy Comments
I started doing some mock-ups in my brain. Then I recreated some of them on Figma and then decided to start building. I started with OpenChakra (because I am using Chakra UI, more on that later).

Show HN: Open-source alternative to Retool, Internal.io, etc.
Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.
I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).
Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.
Best of luck to you both!

Shoelace: A forward-thinking library of web components
We settled on Chakra (https://chakra-ui.com/). Although we also abandoned our ambitions of a Next.js migration, so... I guess it didn't really end up mattering all that much anyway.

Ask HN: Examples of best practice modern website design?
(I'm a frontend dev, but I came into the design side only later in my career, after having started as a full-stack programmer.)
I think this book is probably the single best resource I've seen on the topic: https://www.refactoringui.com/
It's a really easy-to-use format (one quick tip on each page, with clear examples).
It's from the people who made Tailwind, a CSS framework that's basically a reimagining of Bootcamp for the Javascript/component era.
Check out some of their templates: https://tailwindui.com/templates
These are lookalike "modern" designs that you can pay to use, or just draw inspiration from. Imitation == flattery and all that.
Along similar lines, check out the free Next.js templates: https://vercel.com/templates/next.js
If you want to build up from components instead, Tailwind offers a component library too: https://tailwindui.com/components
For React, I prefer the astoundingly good MUI framework (amazing components with lots of customizability, a good enough default look, and great documentation): https://mui.com/ If you end up going this route, using their Figma kit (https://mui.com/store/items/figma-react/) plus the Refactoring UI book from above should allow you to whip up a pretty standard-looking, "pretty enough" design in very little time. And then implementing it using the actual MUI lib would just take a few days.
There's also Ant Design: https://ant.design/
And Chakra UI: https://chakra-ui.com/

For more theoretical stuff (i.e., less visual but still very valuable), the UX research group Nielsen Norman still has a treasure trove of valuable advice: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/top-ten-guidelines-for-home...
You should know the basics of accessibility (beyond general usability, this alos means alt text, header levels, contrast ratios, readability, screen readers, keyboard navigation, special considerations for the hard of sight and hearing, etc.): https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/ or at least use an easy checklist tool like Microsoft's WCAG analyzer: https://accessibilityinsights.io/
