You can’t iterate if it’s perfect.

@timwangyc @seedtosunflower @Joshuabrowder Yooo - congrats on the launch!

Introducing Ponder: the agentic video editor. It’s a new paradigm for filmmaking, where powerful creative agents and humans collaborate to tell world-class stories. We're also announcing our $2.5M pre-seed, led by Liu Jiang from Sunflower (@seedtosunflower), with @Joshuabrowder and @MattHartman. Joined by @levie (Box), @emerywells (Frame), @JaredLeto, @CommaCapital, the @nyuniversity venture fund, @cory, @darian314, @shiffman, and many more incredible founders, investors, and creators.

Lot's of work went into getting this right. I'm really proud of where we ended up. Unlimited never means unlimited. Credits are an annoying and distracting conversion layer. We are relentlessly focused on making the most powerful tool for the most prolific creative teams.

Really enjoyed this chat with Anthony! Lots of exciting things coming...

In good hands There is a feeling I search for: being in good hands. It is the feeling I look to give and the feeling I look to receive. I know I am in good hands when I sense a cohesive point of view expressed with attention to detail. I can feel it almost instantly. In any medium. Music, film, fashion, architecture, writing, software. At a Japanese restaurant it's what omakase aims to be. I leave it up to you, chef. When I am in good hands I open myself to a state of curiosity and appreciation. I allow myself to suspend preconceived notions. I give you freedom to take me where you want to go. I immerse myself in your worldview and pause judgement. I want to be convinced of something new. I want my mind to be changed. Later I may disagree, but for now I am letting the experience soak in. That trust doesn't come easily. As an audience member it's about feeling cared for from the moment I interact with your work. It's about feeling a well-defined point of view permeate what you make. If my mind was changed, I must have been in good hands.

@shivkanthb For Workflow SDK? Vercel!

@charltoons v cool! what 'world' do you use?

We tried several options for FAUNA's stack, but we keep coming back to Vercel's SDKs. We haven't found anything that helps us ship and iterate faster. vercel.com/blog/how-flora…

Introducing FAUNA. The creative agent built for people whose ideas deserve better. Describe what you want to make. It builds the workflow on the canvas in front of you. Redirect it, push it further, tell it what to avoid. Your vision drives everything.

🚀

The best creatives in the world have been creating some some truly astounding workflows on FLORA. We had bring them to everyone with a single click.

Try it with bulk connect! 🤯

@chromaspring @weberwongwong @floraai Hey @chromaspring! Thanks for the feedback. We've added a toggle in user preferences to show the remaining credit balance again.

@weberwongwong @floraai That'd be great

@floraai why

One more step towards being your daily driver. Let us know what you think!

If you like building polished products with smart people for creative people, you belong here!

What's one implementation detail that we could change that would radically simplify this?

Why are we touting small package size as a feature for local dev dependencies? I pay that cost once on a fast internet.

It's real good.

@nickfloats "Unlimited" never means unlimited.

Another dark tactic higgsfield uses it throttling the app the moment you convert. They aggressively promote an "unlimited" annual plan (which is another scam) then the moment you convert, everything starts breaking. Once they have your money, they don't want you using the app.

I don’t drag competitors, but here’s what I know to be true: - Exploitation as marketing is unethical - “Unlimited” never means unlimited - “We’re replacing you” is a terrible way to earn trust At FLORA we build in service of creatives by making tools that empower them.
