Your App Can Look Like You Hired a Designer
Your app can look like you hired a designer, and the way I do it is I start from a theme a real designer made. Lexington Themes is my all time favorite. Take a theme you like, then send an agent like Argon to make a design MD file so you can transfer the theme into your other apps, and it already works on desktop and mobile. When my new app came back so ugly on stream, I gave Argon a few design rules from Dieter Rams. Use color only for the action you want people to take, a clear order for text, and one intent on the screen. And it should all be in one central place. I want good designers to get supported, so please go support them.
