Leon Ming
明超平
Leon Ming is Ming Chaoping (明超平), the founder of YouWare. Before starting his own company he worked on smartphone imaging at OnePlus, on the CapCut app product team at ByteDance, and most recently as product lead for noisee, Moonshot AI's overseas product . He left Moonshot in September 2024 to found YouWare, which launched in early March 2025 as a hand-built prototype letting users paste in code written by DeepSeek and get back a shareable link . A ZhenFund conversation from May 2025 captures his contrarian streak: he's skeptical that AI coding is a new form of creation — "and I'm thrilled," as the piece titles it. By May 2026, per 葬AI, he had shipped a follow-up product called Bloome from the YouWare team .

Perhaps because our expectations for Youware were relatively low, when I found myself seemingly able to use it...
