Hey! 👋 I’ve been exploring different ways to turn ideas into functional UI faster, and recently came across (and started using) SketchFlow — a tool that helps convert rough sketches or wireframes into clean HTML/Tailwind code. It's super handy when you want to focus on flow and layout before diving deep into styling or logic.

Still early days, but it’s been a neat productivity boost for me. Would love to know if anyone else has tried something similar — always curious about tools that speed up the dev-design loop! 💡

Great work if that's your tool. How it's useful to RAG?

I've tried my best to break down the concepts of Retrieval Augmented Generation and some questions people keep asking around "Is RAG dead?"
I hope people will like it!

😂 Rag is dead, long live rag. I've seen many posts like that.
Great work though
