Is it possible for a solo founder to beat heavily funded AI giants in almost every segment? Today, I put my engine (Replay) head-to-head against @bolt_new and @lovable. The results aren't even close. Watch the video. 👇

The biggest risk in legacy migration isn't code. It's muscle memory. I’ve learned a hard lesson working with Enterprise pilots: If you take a 15-year-old internal tool and modernize the UI too much, operations grind to a halt. The employees know exactly where that "Submit" button is. If you move it, you break their workflow. But other times? You want to burn the old UI to the ground and build something fresh. Migration is not one-size-fits-all. So today, I’m introducing two new modes in Replay: 1. Reconstruct Mode (Strict) Replay preserves the exact layout, density, and positioning of your legacy tool, but rebuilds it in clean React code. Zero retraining required. 2. Reimagine Mode (Creative) Replay acts as a designer. It infers the intent of the UI but refactors it with modern patterns, better spacing, and smooth animations. Turns a 2005 app into a 2026 SaaS experience. Choice is power. Whether you need strict compliance or a total facelift, the engine now adapts to your strategy all from single video.

@idzikbartosz Great stuff, i think this is a missing piece, hours spent on describing what i want...

As a solo founder, you have to wear all the hats at the same time. And honestly? It’s starting to click. Here is the breakdown of our last sprint at Replay: We hit our first 100 registered users (most of them US). I personally analyzed their feedback (and yes, I had to chase some of them down to get it 😉), but the verdict was clear. I didn't wait. - UI Revamp: Completely redesigned for a cleaner, faster experience. - New Pricing: Adjusted to better fit market needs. Growth: I didn't want to rely solely on paid ads, so I built an internal SEO Engine. I published 2,500+ complex articles focused on our niche. Crucially, these aren't low-quality spam-each piece passed strict quality verification (9/10 score). The organic reach is already starting to pick up.

@idzikbartosz Mindblowing

I reconstructed video-to-code this guy's nice website in different way in just 1 minute using my tool - replay.build Link to website: replay.build/p/untitled-pro…

@idzikbartosz @Replaybuild Its how stranger things made their website

That's happens when you record few seconds of Stranger Things and put it to @Replaybuild - responsive website in seconds.

@chillfredonsol Thats sick, nicee i was wondering why there is no video to code but i guess you are first congratz

Just shipped Replay - behavior-driven UI reconstruction from video.👀 As a power user of tools like Bolt, Lovable, etc. - this is the first time I truly felt I built what was missing. Replay rebuilds real UIs from video. Not screenshot-to-code. Not a UI builder. You drop a screen recording or product demo → Replay analyzes behavior over time (flows, states, interactions) → You get a production-ready UI, code, design system & flow map. I’m opening beta access now. Every new user gets 2 full generations for free. If software exists on a screen, Replay can rebuild it. 👉 Join the beta: replay.build #BuildInPublic #AItools #Frontend

I might have just built a life-changing project. 🤯 There’s a $30B problem in the US: unclaimed class action payouts. Big brands owe people money, but almost nobody claims it because the system is broken. So I built Claim.Watch to fix it. Out of 20,000+ signups, Claim.Watch made it to the TOP 5 in the @gethalfbaked x @boltdotnew hackathon. 🏆 I’m currently in the lead for the $7,500 main prize, but voting closes in a few hours. I don’t usually ask for this, but if you believe in fighting for consumer rights - and you’re a @gethalfbaked newsletter subscriber - 👉 please vote for Claim.Watch. Your vote could help millions of people finally get their money back. 🙏 #buildinpublic #LegalTech #AI #hackathon

@chillfredonsol @gethalfbaked @boltdotnew Suprised that no one came up with this idea, the market is huge!! Will test it - great work!

It’s official. My submission for the @gethalfbaked x @boltdotnew hackathon is LIVE. 🚀 $30 Billion goes unclaimed every year. Why? Because Big Brands intentionally make the forms complex and hidden to discourage you. But it’s not just laziness. The system is rigged. Big brands intentionally make the process complex, hidden, and boring, hoping you’ll just give up. They bet on your frustration. So I built this tool to fix it. Claim.Watch scans for the money they tried to hide, decodes the legal jargon, and auto fills, signs and auto-files the claim for you. From "0 lines of code" to "paying customers" in one weekend. Watch the final demo 👇#buildinpublic

@chillfredonsol Voted

Claim.Watch found $300k in hidden money for users in 48h. We are live on Product Hunt! Right now: producthunt.com/products/claim…🚀 #buildinpublic

As a vibecoder, I wanted something to do during builds, so I added my dream feature - Bolt Snake right inside Preview for @boltdotnew. Retro vibes meet AI builds. An old-school mini-arcade where you collect tokens while it compiles. URL: bolt-ui-shell-recrea-rsvs.bolt.host - my best is 54:D
