Visual Dictionary of UI

X post announcing a naming reference for UI elements, with API symbols and prompts

Tier C · WeakSocial PostReferencex.com

An X post by designer Adham Dannaway promoting "The visual dictionary of UI" — a reference that pairs a picture of each UI element with its real name, the symbol you would see in an API or component prop, and a prompt phrasing to use when asking an agent to build it. The post itself is the artifact indexed here; the dictionary lives behind it. Useful as a vocabulary bridge between designers describing a thing and developers or agents naming it.

For an agent

Use this when a user describes a UI element in plain words ("the thing that slides up from the bottom") and you need the canonical name before you can pick a component — it maps picture to name to API symbol. It is an X post, so the payload is an image: you cannot parse it programmatically, and the link is fragile if the post is deleted. Treat it as a pointer to Dannaway's dictionary, not as a queryable source.

Why it is here. Naming is the most common failure point between a design brief and a component choice; a picture-to-name-to-prop dictionary closes exactly that gap.

Announces a reference tool that maps informal descriptions of UI elements to their correct formal names.
Each lookup also returns the corresponding API symbol for the component.
Output includes a paste-ready prompt aimed at coding agents, bridging design vocabulary and AI implementation.
Targets the common failure where designers and developers cannot name the component they want.
