@catdeans @Ellekl @denbypottery What drove their closure?
Poor sales?
High costs?
Both?

You want the government to subsidise a failing business?

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

@digitalshane_ @galluzzo_julian It depends.

Next.js is full on React SPA.
Astro is less optimum if you want a SPA experience for your users.

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

@galluzzo_julian @digitalshane_ Astro Islands (React, Svelte or Vue) deliver the reactive features of Next.js, no?

@timsoulo @ViperChill @ahrefs The draw of "I will just build a wee app for this" is so so strong now.

And the answer to any question is now always "yes, sure...we can do that".

@galluzzo_julian @aarondfrancis 😂😂

@aarondfrancis Add some rays to your profile pic - we need more of your kind around here...

@galluzzo_julian @grimcodes Claude Code is a little more than a hammer. It is a group of tradesmen with the best hammers you can buy. 😂

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

@galluzzo_julian @grimcodes Before
Client employed @grimcodes to do task A

After
Client employs Claude Code to do task A

So grim was replaced by Claude Code.

@FinlaysonConnor @relume_io @finsweet @memberstack I think it stumbled into the no-code builders toolkit, rather than aiming to be there. And now it is stumbling out like a misguided drunk skunk

But Webflow does remain a valid platform choice for many company websites, and Enterprise will use them for a while longer.

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

@FinlaysonConnor It is a very tone deaf approach to sacking 170+ colleagues.

Silicon Valley outfits appear to have a hard time being human.

@galluzzo_julian 90% of the time a phone call cuts through the bs and gets to the point.

But async has a great place in the workflow too.

"no-call" environments are a silly idea haha

@doctorbaytas @attio @trysearchable Sadly it looks like there was very little mixing going on here - just lift and re-paint 🫣

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

Website Design Trivia - which came first?

@attio's site or @trysearchable's site?

[Matt Evans @EvansBuildsIt]

@aarondfrancis That is it....

....I am paying you. Thank you.
