Got an article to #1 on Hacker News! 💃

First time but hopefully not the last :D

We may have been inspired by old school product CD keys... we just like the way they look!

Think we nailed our API key flow for AgentStation ✨

Would love your thoughts on it!

Built with DaisyUI, Tailwind, HTMX and Go.

Had a little fun with our 404 page last night!

Anyone else have go-to open source projects for silly site animations?

Warp terminal's AI commands are pretty cool.

Been using it to write FFmpeg commands for video conversion / trimming / compression. Guess what all those online converter tools are using under the hood.... 🤫

[1/5] We've added natural animations for the virtual mouse (move, hover, click) & keyboard as part of our AI agent workstations:

- Curved pathing & target overshooting for mouse movements
- Click "target" visualization
- Variable keyboard press timing

Some details why & how we did this... 🧵

Automatic light/dark mode coming together in the web app 😎

Using @daisyui.bsky.social components & some Tailwind for styling.

Built a AI Zoom agent on our API! 🤖

The agent joins a Zoom meeting, then answers questions to a prospective startup accelerator applicant.

Who needs weekly webinars for product or program walkthroughs if you can talk to an agent instantly, 24/7?

5/6 - For background music I typically look for "Creative Commons" licensed music on Soundcloud.

Make sure to check the specific license type. Most require attribution or a link-back of some sort, but "NC" prohibits you from using the music for commercial projects.

How you know it's time to start a new cursor chat...

There's some discourse about it on stackoverflow etc but not as much as I'd expect! I have noticed a similar pattern w. Reddit - they suggest a press+hold to go from a mobile link to their app.

The hold triggers an OS preview which allows you to get out of the webview app. Looks like this -

This is what our redirect landing page looks like for now.

Here's the hacky part... the user needs to press and hold the CTA to open our site in their native app browser (e.g. Safari).

First, we added a check on the user agent to identify if they are using a webview. If they are, we redirect them to a new landing page we spun up quickly.

This was the screenshot someone DM'd me after they tried to sign up.

Turns out - Google prohibits OAuth requests from embedded webviews. Many native apps (including Linkedin) use webviews so traffic to external links stays captured within the app.

4/6 - When prompting Claude, I have a habit of describing what the svg is, though its pretty good at determining what the image is from the path alone. I was kind of blown away by this actually.

1/6 - I've been making a lot of SVG animations with Claude. It is still very bad at generating new designs, but decent at combining elements and then adding animations using CSS.

Some of my tools / tricks.... 🧵

We might've built a small easter egg into our sign-up page... gotta have fun with it sometimes! ⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️ 😉

Website is coming together! Built in webflow with a healthy dose of custom code - learned a lot about SVG + CSS animations with a little help from my friend Claude.

Day 1 of building on bsky! Feeling good about the state of our docs. We went with Docusaurus - not quite as pretty as Mintlify out of the box, but hard to argue with saving $380/mo in perpetuity... #buildinpublic
