@doctorbaytas @attio @trysearchable Sadly it looks like there was very little mixing going on here - just lift and re-paint 🫣

@EvansBuildsIt @attio @trysearchable everything is a remix

Website Design Trivia - which came first? @attio's site or @trysearchable's site?

@aarondfrancis That is it.... ....I am paying you. Thank you.

When agents can send raw input to other agents, you can do some wild things! Here I set up a "Watchdog" agent to monitor an "Orchestrator" agent. I told the Watchdog that whenever the Orchestrator hits a permission prompt of a certain type, just go ahead and approve it for me.

@TimurNegru What a steal. uliviestate.it/immobili/unint…

Someone is selling an entire hill in Tuscany. 45 hectares, for €1.3M ($1.5M). That's 111 acres of southern Tuscan countryside with a 500m² stone farmhouse on top, 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a pool, and an outdoor wood-burning oven. The estate sits at 400m altitude on a privately owned hill near Saturnia, 8 km from the famous thermal baths and 50 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The farmhouse was built in the early 1800s by the Piccolomini Counts as the steward's residence for what was once a much larger estate. The current 45 hectares break down as 37 ha of woodland, 7 ha of arable land, and 1 ha of olive grove with 50 trees. It borders a nature park and the Albenga River. What makes the price interesting is the land. 45 hectares fully consolidated and bordering a protected park is rare at this level in Tuscany. Most farmhouses in this price range come with 1-3 hectares of land. Here you're buying the hill itself. The trade-off is access. You're 160 km from Rome airport and 200 km from Pisa, so this isn't a fly-in-for-the-weekend kind of place. Then again, if you're buying a hill in Tuscany, being hard to reach is probably the point. How much would something like this cost where you live?

@arvidkahl What if the AI is now filling in some of the "bespoke thing planned & built by experts" bit?

I really like this theory. It’s why 3D-printing is still a niche hobby interest and not a mainstream activity. Coding is pretty much the same. Of course you can prompt your way to almost anything now. But it will always be less than the bespoke thing planned & built by experts.

Hey @aarondfrancis - we talk about Solo in our relaxed chat about building stuff. youtu.be/4Mppkn283WA?si…

@aarondfrancis @slopwareindy has a valid point. Soloterm does what it says on the tin.

"You can feel the craftsmanship when you use it" 🥹

@galluzzo_julian @luke_netti I think that is the kicker right now. There is an opportunity to "build apps for cash" but there are not many doing it, at least they are not talking about it publicly. Interesting times. Proof will be in the puddings we make

@fidopatch @luke_netti I’ve never built a business around a product before, until Ship Studio (which even that is under my employer) For the past 4 years I’ve been working at Memberstack showing people how to build, and before that I was building an agency

for all my web design + dev friends the cost of a website is dropping and will continue to drop you have 2 choices; 1. move up market: cater to enterprises. Even if what was once a $200k website will now be worth $50k, it's still $50k, and you can build it faster than ever 2. expand (my personal pick). just being 'the website guy' is gonna be a tough sell in 1-2 years time. start building web apps. local apps. bots. automations. be the tech guy for your SMB clients if you don't adapt, you'll find yourself in a race to the bottom (in my humble opinion)

If you're not turning your Claude designs into video ads, what are you even doing? Here's how: 1. Generate a prototype in Claude Design 2. Use Hyperframes by @HeyGen to animate HTML 3. Output a video ad Here's the super fast demo 🎥

If you've never made a website with Claude Code before - @samcotdigital just posted a really good video that shows you how to get started. I really liked this video because it shows how anyone - no matter how much technical knowledge you have - can use Claude Code not only to build a website, but to learn web development. Enjoy!!! youtube.com/watch?v=LMSkCx…

@galluzzo_julian @luke_netti Direct Question Alert. How many of these apps have made money for you, via a client paying you or you selling access/subs? *don't include those built for your employer :-)

honestly I've been doing it for a while, and tbf i'm not freelancing or doing client work anymore, but it started with web apps. I wanted to make clients things that actually served a purpose beyond marketing, so I got really invested in using Webflow, Memberstack, and Make to build web apps. Now with AI, I'm just building everything. If I have an idea, I'll try to build it in the way that makes the most sense. I've built a gazillion web apps - also mobile apps (flutter), desktop apps (tauri/electron), and even personal assistant bots (openclaw/hermes) honestly never been a more fun time to be a builder 👏👏 5 years ago I could make a website. Now, if I have an idea, I can probably build it.

@galluzzo_julian @nextjs @vercel @shipstudio_app What a gorgeous website!!

the stuff AI is allowing us to do is incredible my wife is neither designer nor developer, but she made this pretty quickly with @nextjs, @vercel, and @shipstudio_app 2 years ago if someone sent me this site and said they designed and developed it, that would land them a job :) we're going to see a creative renaissance thanks to this technology

@webflow Claude and Perplexity still think you are a: a) visual web dev platform b) visual website builder No mention of this "agentic marketing platform" Is the AEO working? 😜

Six months ago, we rebuilt our website. Not because it was broken (it was beautiful), because machines couldn't see what made it great. We discovered something that's reshaping how smart brands think about their sites: your homepage now has three jobs. 1. Represent your brand to humans. 2. Signal to AI who you are. 3. Convert visitors who've already gotten the summary from an LLM. The tricky part? AI often gets it wrong. We were described as a "no-code website builder" when Webflow is really the agentic web marketing platform for high-performing brands. That perception gap is the reason we redesigned. What did we learn?: - Structure matters. - Fewer reveals, more semantic clarity. - Outcome-oriented copy instead of feature language. - And the changes that helped AI? They made the page clearer for humans too. Learn more in our blog post: wfl.io/489LK0G

@galluzzo_julian @AirChaunB "To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions." - Steve Jobs

@fidopatch @AirChaunB good ideas are absolutely the moat you come up with something stupid, spend weeks building it when you could have spent the same time on an idea which is more likely to succeed.

i would like to start a discussion let me be clear - i am not making any statements, I am just asking a question and would love to hear thoughts from all sides. what is the point of using tools like Webflow or Framer right now? what do they give you which you wouldn't get from using traditional dev tools + building with AI?

@galluzzo_julian @AirChaunB What are the alternatives that you see working at big scale? Any "vibecoded" success stories powering marketing sites for multinational companies with more than a 2-strong team?

Forward looking? Webflow is reliable. Webflow's infrastructure is simple to manage. Vercel is reliable. Vercel's infrastructure is simple to manage. What are the actual tangible day to day benefits for these companies, that would outweigh the flexibility and speed of using dev tools set up in a client-friendly way?

@galluzzo_julian @AirChaunB Ideas are never the moat. Less so these days when it is "so easy" to build.

@fidopatch @AirChaunB *good ideas are the moat and laziness or distraction

@galluzzo_julian @AirChaunB Ideas are not the moat, never have been. Ideas are free. Ability to build are free. Delivering for JTBD remains hard.

@fidopatch @AirChaunB Yeah extremely easy. For a normal marketing site at least. For something bigger it would take more time. What's that now, 2-3 days of dev time? The moat is now the ideas, and any tools you use which limit you.
