v0.dev :) Future of Web UI. Will UI and Frontend Devs exist in future?

Building and designing UIs from UI/UX tools like Figma and XD with languages like HTML, CSS, and JS is way too far for today's GenAI Web Development. From these tools to website builders like WordPress and Wix, and from these platforms to AI website builders, is the next step in the world of web development. v0.dev by Vercel is the revolutionary platform that's turning the web development community on its head. With its innovative approach to design and automation, v0.dev raises the important question of whether frontend and UI developers will soon be extinct?

In modern web development scenarios, implementing and leveraging the powers of GenAI is a powerful way of automating the entire web development cycle. v0.dev implements a prompt-based UI creation tool based on Shadcn UI components and layouts. It is capable of generating UI within seconds with an elegant combination of components. 

Have a look at what it has generated within just a few clicks and prompts.

It will take a lot of time for an experienced developer to develop such a page as compared to v0. Not only this, it also provides theming and customization options to make it more beautiful and brandy. We can copy the whole code for the UI in JSX or HTML. Just some configuration for the backend and the full-fledged site will be ready within a few minutes. And how can we forget Vercel? Using which site can be deployed and made live within another few clicks.

Thus, using v0.dev and Vercel makes it a deadly combination for building web applications. Well, will it kill the jobs of web developers or UI designers is still a question. But the radical evolution in the field of web development with AI is an interesting thing to watch and observe what more it will bring to the table.
