I'll be honest I didn't notice it sitting up there in the top right until I saw this message, it's in that area I ignore where people usually put social logos etc.
Anyway - question on the software itself, how would CSS changes feed through to the code? Inline CSS, utility classes if you're using a framework? Does it support using something like Vite for compiling?
Too bad because once I saw it and tried it out, that's when I thought the experience feels slick and polished.
I think you shoud consider either having an onboarding that highlights it or put a giant arrow on your landing page background, between the video and the bar, with a "Try it on this page"
All the technical decisions are yours. If you defined a padding (for instance) in a stylesheet, this is where updates will be applied. Likewise if it was on a style attr or elsewhere.
I think it would be preferable if the agent figured out the right place to do this.
When I debug CSS or toy with styling, I will often edit the element styles directly but naturally I would like them to be applied within classes the element has, or maybe add a new utility. Never would I put styles on the element.
I suppose that in the same fashion, if your project uses tailwind or something, you will edit styles manually but when you get it right you want them to be added as “whatever the code uses”
Sorry, I mean to say the agent does figure out the right place, based on your technical decisions. So if you want to use classes it isn't going to start adding style attributes. The skill contains instructions about following the existing setup within the codebase.
So if I’m using Tailwibd let’s say, and then I adjust the padding on an element does it update the HTML (or does the agent update my html) with an alternative padding class like p-4 or p-[11px] or something if nothing matches?
I’m on mobile, I’d much rather see some visual demo, ideally video, explaining your product in 60 seconds or less than try to tap around in the live demo.
“Don’t show them the keys of the piano, play the moonlight sonata. “
The key to a good demo is not listing or even showing the features, it’s showing them what they can accomplish with it. You need to inspire your prospects.
bro listen to the guy above you. You need the lowest friction way to help users visualize what this is. By low friction I mean the exact way tik tok gets people to watch thousands of videos for hours. Only one click and zero brain power.
I wanted to buy this. I tried the demo, but then I hit a wall of no agent connected and gave up and came here looking for reviews on whether this is good or shit.
Unfortunately, that video does not explain anything at all. I now know that the product can be used with a mouse, that I can select things and set some properties. Who is it for? What does it do? Why should I use it?
I never considered that people want to watch a video in this day and age when they can try the real thing.
Perhaps I've fallen into that trap with the product [1] I'm building. I have a "Live Demo" button on the landing page and thought that would be enough? I'm going to reconsider...
TBH that part of your landing page exhibits some confusing UX. Perhaps it's just me but when I see a UI image with a play button I assume that clicking it is going to play a video, not redirect me to a login page.
I think there’s a big difference in commitment between the level of friction in signing up for a service and spending a couple of min on orienting myself and clicking play and watching the happy path go for 30s.
I know tailwind is the star these days, but as a back-end dev, nothing comes close to bootstrap in terms of productivity and aesthetics. I've used tailwind and I like it - I've even paid for tailwind UI - but for crud apps that don't require a lot of custom styling, bootstrap is still my default.
Anyone else still using and enjoying bootstrap for new projects?
Yeah Bootstrap is great for having component classes for most things normal webapps need, and having enough utility classes for the more custom things. Love that you can use it in apps that are a mix of technologies as well, and good component support in React, Svelte, HTML, etc.
Tailwind is neat but the lack of component class names means you have to roll your own or embed very specific style classes like shadows, borders, etc in to every component.
Yeah I intentionally chose it as the foundation for UI for a project we started in 2021. The components are simple and lightweight there's an abundance of great themes.
Pleasantly surprised to see this on HN. In the minefield of the spiritual marketplace, where you can never be sure which teachers are authentic and which aren't, Michael James is worth a look. Sometimes a little dry and repetitive, but steadfast in his message and his adoration for his teacher.
I think it is more like testing your bounds or figuratively pulling the rope to see if it breaks. Both are innate human (and animal) behavior and in that both a blessing and a curse.
When I'm dropping off my kids and other kids run in my way I usually just stop to chat or play with them, but I'm doing this when walking or on a bicycle.
I guess if I wore a 2-ton suit of power armor I'd just be pissed off instead :)
The main problem here is that the 2-ton suit of power armor doesn't really care about what's behind it when it slams the brakes for a pedestrian, you would probably be pretty upset if you were biking behind me when this happens.
I think it's a great thing that the car prioritizes pedestrian safety, but it's very unfortunate that people would abuse this.
> Ruby is the very least favorite of all the programming languages I've had to use regularly over my career.
> Its syntax strongly favors cuteness over familiarity
How do you define regular? I use both Ruby and JS almost daily, and have previously used Java and python for several years. I find ruby a joy to use and have no issues with 'familiarity'
If I used Ruby daily, I'd probably be used to it. Right now it's something I have to touch 2-3 times a week to implement specific features in a fairly large Rails codebase, and it always feels jarring to make the switch from the familiar JS/C++/Obj-C spheres of syntactic overlap.
This site seems to me an imitation of sitebuilderreport which was featured on indiehackers recently [1]. The design and copywriting are similar. OP, was your site inspired by sitebuilderreport or are you connected with that site?
catchy name, and well done on getting .com, but if you search for "specret" in google, it autocorrects to "spectre" and shows results for the Bond movie.
I find it interesting that the comments in this thread still largely support Brian Hamacheck even though the response from Who's Here - if accurate - demonstrates that his original blog post is little more than a one sided publicity piece designed to gain sympathy for him and. to villify. Who's Here
Now put a giant, 30 second video of the product being used, directly below "Design by hand.Code by agent."
No one is clicking Get Started or Buy Now until they know what the product is, and a 30 second video is 100x better than any amount of text.
