@meta_alchemist Prob not great for vibe coding but what if you give it a proper spec to build from?
English

clawdbot/moltbot is not too great for vibe coding
tried to vibe code in it for a few days, but I don't recommend it for beyond an AI assistant as of yet
Here are the reasons:
1. You want to see what's happening in between the prompts.
Terminals give you that ability, Moltbot doesn't.
This is a major issue when you work on projects that have even just a bit of depth.
2. You don't see whether it is stuck in loading or working on something.
This problem is like bringing friction to a place that didn't exist. With a terminal, I never have this issue.
Here, when Moltbot is stuck, I wait a long time thinking it's working on something, only to realize it didn't and got stuck. Wasted so much time like this.
3. Moltbot feels only better for vibe coding when you are not at home.
The terminal experience is just 100X better in every way if you are building projects.
Only if you wanna continue to build on a project when you are not at home, that's when it can get handy.
4. Debugging visibility is extremely bad
When something breaks, you don't get the full picture. Terminal shows you the raw error, the stack trace, the logs. Moltbot gives you a filtered summary.
When you're debugging, you need to see everything that's going on, so you don't go into trying to debug the same way when AI gets into rabbit holes.
My verdict:
Many people have gotten into the AI/vibe coding hype now with Clawdbot/Moltbot, which is amazing to see.
But it's not something that can replace the terminal experience for a vibe coder in the way it does the current things.
It's a great local AI assistant.
Not a vibe coders' best toolset.
It actually makes the terminal experience worse.

@ArnovitzZevi @lennysan Fabulous podcast, loved it. I love the slash commands you have in Cursor / Claude - I’ve kind of informally been doing that with one off prompts but pumped to plug in your commands. Thanks for sharing!
English

Still pinching myself that this happened. Excited to share my chat with @lennysan 🔥
If you liked this episode, have any notes, or can think of any way I can help you, please reach out.

@benstrumpf this is a panel, so you’ll be hearing from designers who use cursor at their companies every day!
English

👀 looking into if it's possible to record this event for those of you who are out of town or can't get off the waitlist~

elizabeth lin 🦄✨@lalizlabeth
✨ i am hosting a panel on nov 3 exploring how designers are using @cursor_ai to transform their workflows! join me for a conversation with some very cool designers: - @ryolu_ (cursor) - @jinsu (notion) - catherine wang (ramp). rsvp below, hosted at @tryramp nyc~
English

@hvpandya @cursor_ai @figma Are you writing requirements directly in Cursor or how are you associating the requirements / user stories back to the design?
English

I design exclusively with @cursor_ai now. Haven't touched @figma in months.
Probably a shift here.
English

@glen_pearl Would love to show you @tryheuristic. We enable impactful A/B testing and personalization without having to write any code.

I’m looking for Shopify app founders who want their apps shared with a large audience of around 60,000 people.
If your app is unique and solves a real problem my audience faces, I’ll test it and share it with them. I’m also interested in opportunities to provide it at a discounted rate or extended trial (since most of my audience are new store owners) and potentially set up an affiliate partnership (discounted and pass savings to the customer)

@lovable Being able to seamlessly build front end dev exactly as designed (e.g., from Figma)
English

Been using @lovable to build a CRO audit tool for @Shopify brands and makes such a huge difference when you:
1. Keep Lovable in chat mode.
2. Give it actual spec's / user stories when developing a feature / epic.
3. Before Lovable starts implementing, ask to summarize the approach.
4. Copy / paste the approach into ChatGPT for a review.
5. Give ChatGPT's analysis to Lovable and have them implement
English

Guys, I know A/B testing is da' bomb. And @Intelligems is really great. But $499/month to test shipping rates and prices on a completely new store?!?! 🤯
I'll just wait 10 months and pay $5K to get a result that gives me $0.73/order 😂
Please tell me we have a solid alternative by now?
Do I really have to open THE CURSOR!? 👀💻

English

@pavcro Why is there flickering with the default Intelligems setup?
English

Product price testing is messy.
It’s often hard to set up because:
1. Default Intelligems setup causes flickering, you always need custom code to fix it
2. Getting the price test to work with other apps is often impossible
3. It messes up Google Ads and can trigger disapprovals
The solution?
Live testing.
You simply set the new price live and monitor performance over time.
It’s faster, easier, and saves you a ton of headaches.

@ashvinmelwani @klaviyo Awesome! Even on product pages like product images, content, etc?
English

Change your 1-step email popup to a 2-step quiz and I guarantee your @klaviyo metrics will start improving.
Here’s why you should start capturing your customers intent before you capture their email 👇
Every visitor lands on our site with a completely different problem.
For my brand, Obvi, one person may want nutritional support for their hair while another may feel bloated after every meal and want a gut cleanse.
We need to market to these people differently.
That’s why we ditched our lazy "Claim your 20% off" popup.
Instead, we now ask one simple question: "What's your ultimate health and beauty goal?"
Then we let them self-identify before providing their email. Here are the options we provide:
- Lose weight
- Boost my energy
- Detox & gut cleanse
- Look youthful & radiant
This tiny change allows us to capture more first-party data to build powerful segments inside @klaviyo and drive personalization at scale throughout the user’s journey.
Each subscriber gets:
✅ Marketing that speaks to their actual pain point
✅ Product recommendations that match their specific goals
✅ Emails that feel like they were written just for them
Our emails don't just feel more personal, they perform much better.
With acquisition costs through the roof, your email list is more valuable than ever. But only if you're treating subscribers as individuals, not numbers in a database.
Your subscribers are begging you to understand them better. This is how you start.

We're sharing the system behind $50M+ in AI-built apps.
On August 13th, during our first live masterclass.
I'm revealing the exact system to:
→ Find profitable app ideas people actually want
→ Build secure, functional apps using AI prompts
→ Launch in 30 days (not 6 months)
→ Get your first 1,000 paying users
Perfect for beginners, full-time employees, and non-technical founders.
Follow + comment I'll DM you free invite link.

Ultimate AI Design Stack 🔥
This is how I go from idea → working product in hours:
→ ChatGPT to map out flows and logic
→ Lovable to build the UI with AI
→ Figma for quick visuals or polish (if needed)
→ Supabase to handle the backend
After trying out multiple tools, this stack gave me superpowers.
If you want to learn how I use these tools, comment “toolbox”.
I’ll send you my exact workflow + prompt hacks.

I’ve looked at hundreds of PDPs running @heatmapme and @dtcpages is 100% CORRECT. He’s spot on at scale, actually.
Anything below your typical accordion below the USPs (most common PDP layout) typically has 15, maybe 20% visibility
I’ve also seen a trend of product galleries outperform product carousels, meaning showing all your product images below the main featured image
I’ve got some big big data to support these but this is the TLDR. Mega monster report coming soon
Keep ripping heatmaps and scrollmaps Harry 🫡
Harry Molyneux@dtcpages
Just looked at heat maps for 10 brands. Everyone's clicking images. Nobody's scrolling. Mobile users: - 75% of traffic - 80% never make it past section 2 - 6-7% conversion rate Your beautiful long-form PDP? Nobody sees it. Put everything in those first 5 images or lose.
English

@DylanAnder @heatmapme @dtcpages Thanks! Glad to hear and yea it’s becoming our go-to and we’re building something so brand can just run this out of the box with a few clicks.
English

@benstrumpf @heatmapme @dtcpages I ran that test maybe 4-5 years ago and it’s been crushing ever since!
Awesome work Ben
