UX/UI Principles
Validate AI-generated designs with 168 research UX principle
Hey IH! 👋
I built UX/UI Principles after watching too many AI-generated interfaces ship without validation.
The problem: Cursor, V0, and Claude generate UI fast—but how do you know if it's actually good?
The solution: 168 research-backed principles with 2,098+ academic citations. Free validation tools included.
What's free:
AI Design Validator (6 questions → matched principles)
600+ AI prompts for Cursor/V0/Claude
UX Flow Checklists
UX Smells detector
What's paid: Full principle library at $29/year
Just got my first paying customer last week. Would love feedback from the community.
About
AI tools generate UI fast, but how do you know if it's good? After 12+ years in UX, I compiled 168 research-backed principles so anyone building with AI can validate their designs—not just guess.

Congrats on first customer! As someone who used Cursor/Claude for my entire MVP (feedback tool), validation is key. Love the research-backed approach.
Do you plan user voting on principles?
"AI-generated interfaces ship without validation" is the right problem. The speed of generation outpaced the speed of judgment. You built the bridge between output and confidence; that's where the real value sits.
Nice launch 👏
If you ever need a ready-made SaaS landing + dashboard to speed things up, I built something that could help.
Happy to share it 🙌
Hey, this is really cool! 👏
I love that you’re tackling the validation gap for AI-generated UI, so many interfaces get shipped fast but haven’t been tested against solid UX research. The AI Design Validator and the flow checklists look super useful, especially for solo makers or small teams who don’t have a dedicated UX resource.
Curious,how are you getting your first paying customers? Are you leaning on communities like Indie Hackers/Reddit, or more direct outreach? Also, any insights on which of the free tools drives the most engagement before someone converts to the paid library?
