Hey Product Hunt 👋
Thanks for checking out the Glass UI generator. I'm one of the guys who worked on this tool, alongside with Robert, who was the designer.
So what is Glassmorphism?
Glassmorphism is a new design trend which is primarely based on the blurry effect of an element and a background.
Although glassmorphism can be seen dated all the way back to Windows Vista, it has recently re-emerged with the macOS Big Sur update and it is increasinly being used across all platforms, including mobile apps, websites, and desktop programs.
Why use the Glass UI generator?
You can use this free tool to generate the CSS that is needed to get the glassmorphism efffect. It is useful because you can see how the effect will look compared to a background image, a gradient background, or even on solid colors.
It is very easy to integrate in any project, because the code that is generated is plain old CSS.
What about the components? The HTML code?
This Glassmorphism UI generator is based on the upcoming Glass UI library which will be available to download or include via NPM. For the HTML components to work, you need will need to include the CSS and Javascript file from the library. The release is estimated to happen in July, 2021.
Feel free to sign up for Glass UI to get updates and find out when it will be launched.
That's about it! We will add a couple of updates here and there. The tool is entirely free to use, and the CSS library for the components will also be available shortly and it will be open source under the MIT license ❤️
@zolidev : Absolutely great product, would this work on Webflow, if I export/copy the CSS and HTML? (Disclaimer I'm a newbie to webflow and web design)
Omg @themesberg@zolidev always has something neat up his sleeve, hope it gets more components added in the near future, i see some very cool projects coming out of this
edit: typo
Nothing else to share!
Pros:
Great design
Gives younger developers a good example of CSS Grid concepts, with a visual component
Cons:
None that I've seen as of yet
Congratulations 🎉 guys @zolidev and @roberttanislav the generator looks very great and awesome can't wait for the library and start building on top on this. 😍👏
Supercool tool... Hats off Zoltan! Can't wait to see the full Glass UI Library....we'll most definitely try to integrate with PicoStrap and LiveCanvas. You guys @ Themesberg rock!
This looks amazing. What a useful tool. I'm not a designer so I wouldn't want to use this tool to make something from scratch, or else I'd spend hours deciding what I want. Would be great if we could buy a glassmorphism theme from Themesberg and then use the tool to make tweaks to components.
@pholly appreciate it, Philip! We already have plans to build some themes and more advanced UI/UX tools/themes that you can use on top of the library that we will launch in the coming months
