๐ What I Built
I recreated a modern cross-platform UI inspired by a beautifully structured mobile dashboard layout. My goal was to take a clean, minimal interface concept and rebuild it using Uno Platform Studio Proโs Hot Design tool, enhanced with the AI-powered Hot Design Agent.
This concept was chosen because it allowed me to explore live UI adjustments, dynamic layouts, and Hot Reload synchronization โ giving me full control over design refinement while the app was running.
๐จ Original Design Reference
I selected a sleek mobile UI concept featuring:
A hero header
Card-based layout
Rounded controls
A modern light theme
(Screenshots would appear here in the final post.)
๐ฅ Demo
I built and ran the project across supported targets using Uno Platform.
The demo includes:
Running the app directly from the IDE
Editing UI elements visually in Hot Design
Syncing changes instantly with Hot Reload
Showcasing real-time AI-assisted UI modifications
(Links to video demo + GitHub repo would go here.)
๐ค Hot Design Agent in Action
Using the Hot Design Agent was the highlight of my build.
The AI Agent helped me:
Adjust control spacing and padding
Improve text hierarchy
Suggest responsive layout behavior
Fix alignment issues instantly
Apply cleaner styling with just natural language requests
All changes happened live while the app was running โ no rebuilds needed.
(Screenshots / recordings would be shown here.)
๐ ๏ธ Design Process
My workflow using Hot Design + Hot Reload:
Launched my running app from the IDE
Opened Hot Design and selected UI controls visually
Modified XAML elements and bindings in real-time
Used AI Agent to refine typography, spacing, and layout suggestions
Observed changes instantly reflected back into the IDE and running app
Tested across platforms to confirm responsive behavior
Controls modified included:
TextBlocks (font size, weight, alignment)
StackPanels & Grids (spacing, horizontal/vertical alignment)
Cards & Borders (corner radius, padding)
Buttons (styles, icons, elevation)
๐ Key Takeaways
Hereโs what I learned through this Hot Design challenge:
AI-assisted UI design greatly speeds up the iteration process
Visual editing + Hot Reload provides instant feedback, reducing guesswork
Adjusting complex layouts becomes far more intuitive
Hot Design Agent bridges the gap between designers and developers
Compared to traditional XAML editing, this approach feels faster, smarter, and more creative
Uno Platformโs cross-platform sync makes it easy to preview UI on multiple targets
This experience showed how AI + live design tools can transform the way modern .NET apps are built.
