The power of disruption: What’s next?
Magic Docs is live, Once UI 0.6 is coming, and we’re pushing the boundaries of design engineering. But it's not all. Are you ready to disrupt?

Hey Oncer,
It’s been a while—here’s what we’ve been up to and where we’re heading next.
Magic Docs – The Mintlify alternative
We recently launched Magic Docs, a streamlined solution for quick, beautiful documentation sites. Simplicity was our focus: just drop in .mdx files, and Magic Docs automatically generates the navigation. Plus, you can use the same customization settings as with any Once UI template.
Coming next: An intuitive Changelog page and a kanban-style roadmap page as part of the template.
Once UI 0.6 is on the horizon
While building Magic Docs, we developed some powerful new components—now, we’re channeling them back into Once UI and our other templates.
What’s next?
Automatic table of contents based on headings
Schema and meta components for seamless SEO
My personal favorite: a built-in Command Palette (Kbar-style navigation)
Once UI Pro components
Based on requests from our Pro community, we’re expanding our component library to include a range of social media UI elements.
Upcoming:
Notification center
Comment system UI
Post UI & more
New template: Magic Store
Our latest project is a custom Fourthwall-powered storefront—helping you build a strong brand presence and monetize early.
🔥 Why We Keep Pushing
The innovators who once shattered norms now fight to preserve their dominance.
The cycle is clear: disruption creates new power, and power resists further disruption.
Tech giants like Facebook and Tesla have transitioned from rebellious upstarts to self-preserving empires. They don’t just sell products—they shape narratives, control attention, and weave themselves into the daily consciousness of billions.
Their power isn’t in their money or tech; it’s in their omnipresence. They’ve realized that real influence comes from controlling what people think about.
Can true disruption still happen, or has the system been rigged to prevent it? The internet, once a wild frontier of ideas, is now a set of controlled pipelines where algorithms dictate what rises and what disappears.
Big tech doesn’t fear competition—they buy it, copy it, or suppress it.
For real change to happen, disruption must be decentralized, unpredictable, and impossible to contain. It means thinking beyond traditional structures and using technology in ways that aren’t easily controlled.
Disruption starts small.
Every revolution, every shift in power, every challenge to the status quo begins with a few people who refuse to accept the world as it is.
While the forces of manipulation divide and control, we choose unity.
We choose to empower.
Once UI and the Design Engineers Club aren’t just projects—they’re a movement. A place where creators, builders, and thinkers come together to take back control.
To shape the future, not just react to it.
If you believe in change—if you believe in something bigger than the system you were handed—join us.
Because the future isn’t decided by those who follow.
It’s built by those who disrupt.
