I'll probably be watching :D

pawlean

Excited to see you there!

dannyrb

Are there any reference resources for this community session that folks can review ahead of time?

pawlean

Not yet - but I'm sure there will be lots of resources during the session from our speaker. @dannyrb

@pawlean love this topic! For those who are unable to attend live will anything be made available after the event?

pawlean

The video will live here, @jenniferbhampton! So feel free to come back here after :)

Questions for the community:

  • How have you been implementing your design system in v0?
  • Are you technical or non-technical and needed a design system.
  • Have you playing with shadcn registry?

To Pauline's community questions:

  • Right now, I just tell it. Make it blue, or glassy, or whatever I want.
  • I am technical (so I usually download the ZIP from v0 later and tweak it then)
  • I have barely played with the shadcn registry, and I use shadcn/ui a lot!

:100: Nice! Have you used the new git features? How does your workflow differ with that vs zip downloads?

bestcodes

I don't think I have used the git stuff yet, I will have to try it :D

  1. I've used v0 to help create a design systems using tailwind and downloading them and using it inside of my repo.

  2. I'm a technical person and I've enjoyed using shadcn/ui and tailwind. It makes something like MUI feel archaic and terrible to work with.

  3. I haven't played around with it yet, but I definitely plan on doing so. Having a standardized "personal" component library sounds amazing!

(Replying to myself) Auto-hiding OS topbar too. I've never used a mac, I guess it's a macOS thing maybe :laughing:

Matt might get to this during the preso but I was curious - How do you see LoRAs fitting into a structured design system pipeline like what MCP UI enables? Would you ever use a LoRA in place of (or alongside) primitives and prototypes to get more reliable LLM outputs?

anshumanb

Interesting! I haven't thought of this before. Can you share a use case or example as such to add to it?

Answers to your questions:

  • How have you been implementing your design system in v0? - yes, we have found great success in both doing ux and sales prototypes and live front-end codebase changes. we have AI also document the prototypes and work we do and that has accelerated our professional work from months to hours. real results not hyperbole.
  • Are you technical or non-technical and needed a design system. - we are a technical team and I am technical too in terms of a designer that can understand and implement code.
  • Have you playing with shadcn registry? - I have not but we will definitely look into it at Miros.ai

Haha, welcome Robert! Great answers here. I'll definitely follow up with more thoughts. If you have any v0 feedback, let us know :)

@anshumanb one of the use cases for loras + a structured design system was like if you had a design system powering a form generator for a government agency /medical app. The form components (input, dropdown, validation, etc.) are built as primitives and prototypes in something like Shadcn. If you wanted an LLM to generate these forms dynamically in a very specific tone (HIPAA-compliant or formal legal language) you could use a LoRA fine-tuned on that specific language. Curious if anyone has explored using loras and a design system together in a similar use case!

At Miros.ai -I have not used a LoRa at all (I do not know what it is) but we are working towards something like this because our components will be used by major e-commerce brands and they should be aligned with the latest accessibility standards by default.

Sorry if that’s kind of an off topic question lol. Squirrel brain :head_shaking_horizontally::nail_polish:t5:

Mwahaha Vercel evangelism starts at home folks! (Trevor is my husband and I’ve been infodumping about v0 ALOT lol)
