The site aims to help users find canonical names for components and micro-interactions to communicate with AI agents or colleagues, and was designed to be built using parallel agents.", "body_md": "I built this because I know the pain of trying to explain a component or a micro-interaction to an AI agent or a colleague, and seeing them not understand it. Now I just look up the canonical name of the thing I am thinking of, and send a link of it.\n\nI planned the site to be buildable with parallel agents from the start. The site includes more than 1100 terms, and every page includes a live demo. It would be an enormous effort to do that by hand. The live demos act both as a user attraction, and a test-suite that validates the term as the agent is building it.\n\nLet me know what do you think. I enjoy building educational stuff like this, so I will continue building on my similar projects depending on how well this is received.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49548419](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49548419)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-vocab-design-a-visual-dictionary-of-ui-and-design-terms", "canonical_source": "https://vocab.design/", "published_at": "2026-09-03 10:56:10+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-03 11:23:48.518277+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Vocab.design", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-vocab-design-a-visual-dictionary-of-ui-and-design-terms", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-vocab-design-a-visual-dictionary-of-ui-and-design-terms.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-vocab-design-a-visual-dictionary-of-ui-and-design-terms.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-vocab-design-a-visual-dictionary-of-ui-and-design-terms.jsonld"}}
