How do you guys handle the design part of your app/website if you are not very good at design? Do you use Material ui or bootstrap or do you ask someone else make the design for you?

I ask an intern then tell him it's ugly

I read a lot of stuff and decided to go with the abolute mnimum tech stack that still would do. That was handcoded HTML and CSS with a little bit of JS here and there. Well and a self-rolled static website generator before that was a thing.

I can totally relate to that one. On my personal project I'm fired up when it comes to backend stuff, but as soon as I come to the point where I need to make everything look fancy and nice I am lost.

That's when I end up using Bootstrap and customize it so it looks even worse then it already does.

Outsourcing isn't an option, because poor student.

Yes. And read https://medium.com/refactoring-ui/...

Good to go.

Last year I used materializecss to make a very beautiful UI with very very little knowledge of CSS (lol I still don't know how to use float. Forget flex) . It's awesome project if you need to develop UI quickly without much experience.

Become good at every task that is assigned to you, or that you assign to yourself.

Either bootstrap or I'm pretty much fucked.

I'm a Linux/back end/security guy, definitely not frontend 😅
