Feedback loops are critical.

The faster you get real user feedback, the better. Decades ago, that meant coding first -- which sucked.

So we evolved.

Wireframes, pixel-perfect designs, clickable prototypes -- tightening the loop and cutting costs at every step.

Today, tools like Figma make that process even faster and more accessible. Build it in Figma, using UX-approved components and brand-approved styles, and you get something ready for feedback -- fast. (Plus, you save developers from wasting time coding something just to find out it’s wrong.)

Every front-end project should start with a clickable, usability-tested prototype before it ever hits a dev's backlog. It’s not rocket science. Skipping this step isn’t "moving fast," it’s just wasteful.




Absolutely agree — getting real user feedback early is everything. Tools like Figma have been amazing for that.

For folks who are still in the idea exploration phase or want to rapidly prototype low-fidelity flows without getting bogged down in design details, https://Wireframes.org has been super useful. It combines traditional drag-and-drop wireframing with AI-generated layouts from simple text prompts, which helps get something testable in front of users really fast — even before pixel-perfect designs are needed.

It’s a great way to tighten that feedback loop even further, especially for solo founders or early teams.
