With our backend functional, we now have a challenge: we need to create an easy-to-use interface. This will turn our database engine into a full test preparation application. Even seasoned developers can find UI design tough, and generative AI tools help tremendously.
These tools provide a big boost for developers who aren’t great at UI. They draw from large collections of best practices, templates, and design patterns used by expert Flask developers. Here we will show how AI can connect functional backend code to polished user experiences—even if you don't see yourself as a design expert. By mixing AI suggestions with smart customization, you'll learn to build professional interfaces that boost user engagement, all without needing deep frontend knowledge.
