"Moving to @GetCartGenie cut my time spent on order fulfillment in half. Their shipping integration is more advanced than competitors, plus the ability to collect custom information at checkout streamlined our entire ecommerce process. Ecommerce isn’t just functionality — it’s part of the brand experience, and CartGenie helped us make it ours." — John Swain, founder of @ZipRunning

I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs. (Saves ~$30K per collection shoot and boosts on-site conversion rates by ~20%) Here's what the system does under the hood: → Firecrawl pulls product images straight from any e-commerce collection URL → Calico AI turns them into realistic model videos capturing fit, texture, and movement → Every video starts and ends on the original product shot for seamless looping → Output is auto-labeled, sorted, and pushed directly to Google Drive → The entire pipeline runs in batch — zero manual intervention The outcome: brands can give every single SKU a video asset, not just their bestsellers — and conversion lifts are immediate. Static images don't cut it anymore. Buyers want to see how a product moves before they commit. If you want the full breakdown, Like RT & Comment "CALICO". I'll send you the complete n8n workflow, every prompt, and a step-by-step walkthrough video — totally free. (Must be following so I can DM you.) No more $30K production shoots. No more wondering if your product pages are leaving money on the table.

Component Canvas is officially rolling out. If you’ve ever managed components at scale, you know how quickly things can get complicated. Jumping between pages. Hunting down the main component. Context switching between breakpoints, variants, and states. Making a change… and hoping it didn’t quietly break something somewhere else. As design systems grow, that complexity only compounds. The Component Canvas is a dedicated space for designing and managing components with multiple contexts visible side-by-side, so you can move faster and more confidently, without compromising consistency. Rolling out to all workspaces this week.

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.

The real story here is worse than a fumble. It’s a three-step own goal. January 9: Anthropic locks Claude Code OAuth tokens, killing every third-party tool that built on Claude subscriptions. OpenClaw, which recommended Claude Opus 4.5 as its default model, wakes up to a broken integration. No warning. No partner outreach. January 27: Anthropic’s legal team sends the cease-and-desist over “Clawdbot” sounding too similar to “Claude.” Steinberger complies at 5 AM on a Discord call. During the 10-second window where he releases the old GitHub and X handles, crypto scammers hijack both accounts and run a $16M pump-and-dump scheme. The chaos reflects on the entire Claude ecosystem. February 15: Steinberger announces he’s joining OpenAI. So Anthropic had the fastest-growing open source project in AI history (145K+ GitHub stars, 2 million visitors in a single week), built by a guy who sold his last company for ~€100M, whose tool literally recommended Claude as the default model to millions of new users. Their response was to cut off his API access and send lawyers. Steinberger spent last week in San Francisco meeting with every major lab. He explicitly said he could have built OpenClaw into a massive company but chose OpenAI because he wanted “the fastest way to bring this to everyone.” Meanwhile OpenClaw has already spread to China, with Baidu planning direct integration into its main app. This is a project that was essentially a free distribution channel for Claude. Millions of developers installing a tool that defaults to your model. The growth marketing team at Anthropic should have been sending gift baskets, not legal notices. Sam Altman just got handed an open-source agent framework with global distribution and a brilliant founder, because Anthropic’s legal department moved faster than their partnerships team.

If your Webflow store sells internationally and you're still only offering credit cards at checkout — you're leaving money on the table. Here's what we just shipped in CartGenie: 🇳🇱 iDEAL — the #1 payment method in the Netherlands 🇧🇪 Bancontact — the standard for Belgian online shoppers 💳 Afterpay / Clearpay — The buy now, pay later method most requested by our Australian stores! Plus: Advanced currency formatting controls💲💶 💴 so prices actually look right to customers all over the world (even very unique formats like in India!). In the Netherlands, ~70% of online transactions go through iDEAL. If you don't offer it, most Dutch shoppers won't even try to check out. Same story in Belgium with Bancontact. The fastest way to increase international conversion isn't a redesign — it's letting people understand prices and pay the way they already want to. All of this is live now and included on every CartGenie plan. No add-ons, no extra fees. Full breakdown 👉👉 cartgenie.com/blog/new-inter… #Webflow #ecommerce #WebflowEcommerce #CartGenie

Our team works hard every day to give that ✨ magic ✨ feeling to @GetCartGenie stores! 🧞💪 What would you build if you had a platform dedicated to making YOUR store succeed? #webflow #ecom #EcommerceGrowth #founderled

The 40% cost reduction is amazing but still kind of undersells it The real number is the time compression. A human researcher might test 20-30 combinations in a good month. This system tested 6,000 per iteration. (Which is roughly 150 years of traditional lab work compressed into a few weeks, if you want to feel something about that) Drug discovery, materials science, synthetic biology, basically any field where the bottleneck is "we need to try thousands of things to find what works" just got its timeline crushed The second-order effects of this will be insane

Excited to announce that @montodotio is now fully natively integrated with @GetCartGenie! We're compressing the marketing stack to empower sellers to just...sell. Focus on your product and your brand. The tech side should make it *easier for you... not stand in your way. Build your way on Webflow. Sell like magic on CartGenie + Monto!

Sh*t is getting wild very fast...

The man, Adam (AdamtheGreatTV), posted critical comments on X about Israel in late October 2025, including: "WE DO NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL ANYMORE," "Israel is the biggest threat to America," and calls for regime change there, accusing it of excessive US influence. Reports indicate these prompted the police visit.

"We're here because of the comments you made online about Israel." A man in Texas shared a video saying local police came to his home to question him over posts critical of Israel.

JUST IN: The UK has now arrested more than 12,000 people for free speech online.

This man was a Professor at Bristol University. Here he is demanding that the protests in Iran are liquidated, that no leniency is given to the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of extraordinarily brave people risking their lives to rid themselves of one of the world’s most oppressive regimes.  To describe this as psychopathic is an understatement. But he has followers in the UK and is not alone.  It demonstrates that people with this world view aren’t even remotely interested in human rights or ordinary people. They are interested only in power and governments. If a govt is anti Israel or anti west or anti capitalism, then it doesn’t matter what barbarity they inflict on their own people. That is why when these types of people get into power, everyone else is plunged into misery.
