Instill VDP

Hello everyone, I am the Frontend Engineer at Instill AI. I want to express my sincere gratitude to @shih_chun_huang for orchestrating the impactful launch of Instill VDP on Product Hunt - it's an exciting milestone for our organisation!✨ I am excited to share my insights on the development of this product. I joined the team in June 2023, and within six months, we have built several versions of the product that we have now. We believe that the first version is not the last one, and every software needs revision and updates to make it better. The team believes in delivering fast without compromising on quality. Every fine detail matters, especially when it comes to UI and UX, making it even more important. Being a SAAS product, having clean and easy-to-understand documentation is the most critical thing to manage. As a team, we all contribute to the documentation, and every individual is responsible for documenting the features they have developed. Thank you all for your unwavering support. Together, we look forward to the exciting journey ahead, shaping the future of Instill VDP with a focus on exceptional user experience and scalable interfaces.

👋 Hi, everyone! I’m Juan, one of the backend engineers at Instill AI. Congratulations to the team and the community for this milestone! 🚀 At Instill AI we have the opportunity to make AI solutions accessible. This means that users can take more care of their business domain and worry less about infrastructure and implementation details. In every new feature, our energy goes also into what matters: from ideation to delivery, in every step of the way we focus on how the user experience will improve. Accessible also means _open_: our code is public, so we also build things in a way that’s readable and extendable. We believe everyone should be able to understand what’s happening under the hood and to adapt it to fit their needs. We’ll gladly listen to your feedback through our community at Discord and GitHub 🗣️ Thanks everyone for their support, we have a long and promising road ahead! 💪

Hello everyone! 👋 I’m Dani, the Product Designer of Instill AI. I’ll begin by thanking @shih_chun_huang for orchestrating the launching of Instill VDP on Product Hunt - an exciting milestone for our startup! ✨ As the sole designer among our talented engineering team, I'm happy to share my perspective on the process. When I joined, the product was still experimental phase. As superb technical builders, my teammates had created an incredibly versatile and powerful platform - but it was complex for users to leverage. I saw the potential to craft a simple, delightful tool if we committed to human-centred design. 💡 Advocating user-centricity early on meant convincing stakeholders to invest in understanding target users' needs, goals and pain points deeply. insights helped me persuade engineers of the value of prioritizing simplicity and ease of use even if it meant tough technical tradeoffs. Collaborating cross-functionally was crucial given the technical complexity. I leaned on engineers' expertise while aligning us all to enhance end-user experience incrementally. Making design integral, not an afterthought, allowed us to transform the developer platform into a polished, open-source product developers love. The resoundingly positive Product Hunt reception shows that even engineering-heavy products thrive when user-centric design is fundamental to development. As we grow, I’m eager to further embed UX to retain that human-focused ethos! 💪 Thank you everyone for your support! ✌️

Hello everyone, I am a backend engineer at Instill AI. I want to express my gratitude to all VDP users and the colleagues at the company. In my past few years as a Deep Learning and backend engineer, I have frequently encountered a significant pain point. Often, in order to complete the data -> AI model -> AI model -> data workflow, a substantial amount of manpower and time is spent dealing with engineering issues, rather than focusing on solving business and data problems. The emergence of VDP can help developers address this problem. We will assist you in constructing a comprehensive Data Pipeline, allowing you to concentrate more on data flow and analysis. For non-engineering users, our No Code Builder also enables you to understand how a data pipeline or AI application is generated in a visual way. We are very appreciative and hope for more user feedback, so that we can make VDP into a perfect tool.

Hello everyone, I'm the Frontend Developer at Instill AI. Firstly, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to @picsoung for featuring Instill VDP and to our developer advocate, @shih_chun_huang, for orchestrating this launch. A special appreciation goes out to our incredible team as well – this milestone wouldn't have been possible without your contributions. I'm excited to share my insights on the development of this product, guided by three fundamental values: 🎄 Software as the Documentation: Our belief is that the strength of a no-code tool lies in its intuitive usability. This demands thoughtful design, such as embedding essential information in a limited space without overwhelming the user. Our aim is to minimize reliance on external documentation, using it only as a last resort rather than a prerequisite. 🏋️ Information has Weight: We recognize that every piece of information carries its own weight and every interface has its capacity. In developing this product, we've delved into understanding the 'weight' of information in each view and have strived to maintain a balance. 🩻 Details Matter: We pay meticulous attention to details, from the overarching functionality to the loading state of each page. We believe in the cumulative impact of these details in enhancing user experience. Beyond these three principles, there’s a fourth, which is paramount to us: 💡 Talk to the Users, Adapt, and Evolve: At our core, we are a user-centric product. Our journey doesn’t end here. We eagerly seek more feedback, more use cases, and more suggestions to continuously evolve. Thank you all for your unwavering support.
