Currently we're using Gemini's URL context feature, but I want to experiment with Cloudflare Browser Rendering to attach URLs as M↓, screenshots, or both. Still building intuition for what gives the most effective context. Would love to know if you’ve tried something similar!

I sent Kenji’s reverse sear URL to the Outlyne AI assistant and said “make a page about this and how it changed the way I cook.” It got me 80% of the way there without me having to spend time rehashing the approach.

Another use case I’m excited about: getting feedback on what I’m working on. So not just visual inspiration, but visual feedback too. I pasted in a screenshot of a menu and said it felt too busy, and the assistant cleaned it up:

Wait, I can just paste a screenshot and have the assistant work from it? Here’s what I got when I pasted in a screenshot of one of Tufte’s dataviz examples and asked the AI assistant in outlyne.com to create a visualization of urban mushroom foraging inspired by it:

@JeremyOutlyne the new experience is so satisfying! and the fact that the LLM always knows what you mean (even if you say “stuio” instead of “studio” or whatever kind of typo) is one of the many wonders of this magical new technology that we are still figuring out how to use.

6/6 If you've used prompt-based AI site tools and hit the "looks great at first, falls apart later" wall… what's your biggest frustration? Curious, drop it below. Building in public & real feedback shapes this. #AI #WebDesign #BuildingInPublic #SaaS

Instant gratification feels incredible… until you actually care about the outcome. Most AI website builders: prompt → full site in seconds. With good prompting + clean markdown? Impressively solid results. We loved that rush too. But then reality hit.

we’ve been on the vite 8 beta for a month and rolldown for half a year at outlyne.com and it’s been fast and dependable throughout. this should bring that to the whole ecosystem. now i just need the rust version of react compiler and our full toolchain will be dialed.

@JeremyOutlyne ship it tomorrow plz i don’t know how much longer i can wait to start using that sidebar thx bye

Adding an AI assistant to Outlyne. It can update your site, but you review the changes and accept/reject them first. Shipping in the next couple days 🤞

This site came out really well and gave us the opportunity to build a bunch of nice features into Outlyne.com. Truly a win-win collaboration. See for yourself: verobeachhomeloans.com

@outlyne_com i love that gemini suggested “Gilded Grog” as another possible name for this fictional bar. good inspiration for my future restauranteur endeavors.

It’s been so fun to see how adopting Gemini 3 for text content and Nano Banana for images on Outlyne.com has transformed our output. Here’s a one-shot for a fictional bar called “The Ember & Rye” from this morning. Give it a try and share your creation. #AI #WebDesign

@outlyne_com Clip from the ShopTalk Show where this came up: youtube.com/watch?v=UcpHXQ…

The conversation about @outlyne_com on the latest ShopTalkShow hit on something I’ve been thinking about a lot: AI can make creation too easy. If you push a btn & a site appears, it can feel hollow and robs the satisfaction you normally get from publishing something you created.

@outlyne_com We’ve been actively exploring how to pare back pure generation and lean harder into guided personalization, so AI handles the grunt work in service of intent, not in place of it. AI is the engine. I want to be the driver.

can’t stop won’t stop. just had an amazing interaction with the Gemini CLI where after saying “I'm done”, it continued going with 11 “final checks” + 4 “one last checks”, along with 14 requests to “Wait” for it to recheck its work. the gruesome details: acusti.ca/blog/2026/01/2…

Claude writes code like a caffeinated golden retriever. Codex reviews it like a grumpy staff engineer. Treat them as interchangeable & you get bugs. Play them off each other & get something workable. Claude vs Codex: practical guidance from daily use acusti.ca/blog/2025/12/2…

what a thrill to be watching the latest @ShopTalkShow episode and suddenly see my company, outlyne.com, show up on the video stream: youtu.be/CuBKsa92nL0?si… huge thanks to @davatron5000 and @chriscoyier for spotlighting community projects, and for the show itself.

to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes

@intellectronica @stolinski Zed has built-in support for Astro (zed.dev/languages/astro), Prettier/ESlint (zed.dev/docs/languages…), Tailwind (autocomplete, lint, hover previews: zed.dev/docs/languages…), a Ruff extension. never used error lens, but the Zed debugger is impressive (zed.dev/debugger).

@stolinski - Notebooks (local jupyter and colab) - Error Lens - Tailwind - Prettier, ESLint, Ruff - Astro and MDX ... to name a few - there are more

What's the deal with Zed? Should you pay attention or try it in 2026? youtu.be/lRrElGM23h4

@stolinski you absolutely should. every time i try out a new editor (most recently Antigravity) i truly cannot believe that most developers spend their time in VSCode-based editors. i don’t think they appreciate how much nicer it is to use Zed.

React Compiler is indispensable. But when it can’t optimize a component, it fails silently. If you depend on it for critical paths, silent failure isn’t acceptable. Here’s how we handle it at Outlyne: acusti.ca/blog/2025/12/1…
