Our team has been at this a whole internet thing a while :D As @NotoriousUSB said, “We’re banding back together to fix the internet”

I went to the White House! :D
I recently had the privilege to visit @ndstudio in Washington DC. Incredible to see the caliber of people building new tech for all Americans. Huge thank you to @as400495 for the invite, & @jgebbia and the NDS crew for all you're doing for America!

Breaking News!

Jason Schuller has joined Opacity as a product designer and engineer.

Co-founder of @lemonsqueezy (acquired by @stripe) and early team at Plasso (acquired by @GoDaddy).

Jason is one of a small number of builders who can ship both the product and the code behind it.

Welcome, @jptksc!

Big news! @bashrw has joined team Opacity!
We're incredibly excited to be working with such an amazingly talented person. Rick is joining as a core engineer, and is already working on some amazing stuff for you all!
Welcome to the team, Rick!

[Drew Wilson @drewwilson]

At @OpacityHQ, we are not building a design tool. We’re also not dependent on AI.

We are creating a new way to build production grade software.

Let me explain :)

Platform
Our platform includes 3 major aspects:
- Design (Canvas, Components)
- Logic (App code)
- Deployment (Infra, Hosting)

This is our platform. The new “GitHub” for visual builders. Where design IS code, and there isn’t even ever a design->code translation step at all.

It’s collaborative, and has native git-like functionality built in. PRs, branching, etc.

None of the above relies on AI.

AI
You can also employ AI agents (using your favorite models, or our model) to build/design with/for you, directly inside Opacity.

Unlike (all?) other AI product building platforms, Opacity’s AI is deterministic. We don’t let AI write code. We use its intent to programmatically generate code. So you always get expected, stable outcomes from prompts.

Design
We believe design should remain a separate artifact from any one single codebase. And that people should be able to design freely on a canvas, manually or with AI. Those designs should be portable to any number of separate projects.

Designers should be able to collaborate with each other and AI with PRs, and branching. Design is currently in the stone age, and it’s beyond silly we don’t have this yet.

Opacity
It makes building software automated in all the right places, and also lets people create freely and manually.

Make no mistake, one of our goals is to have the best design canvas out there. But the Opacity team is made up of folks that like to build. We want to DEPLOY our designs.

Today’s tools only address one half the equation (either design or engineering). Opacity merges design and engineering, and is the single source of truth for software teams.

As design and engineering merge, most people will not care about writing or reviewing code. So they will not want to be on GitHub. Where can they go? Opacity.

Honestly, I’m most afraid how we’ll communicate the novel-ness of Opacity to market (you), when we go to market. But we’ve got some time to figure that out :)

[Jeff Broderick @brdrck]

We'll be throwing our first @OpacityHQ Designer Meetup in SF before @Stripe Sessions!

Would love for you to join us!!

[Opacity @OpacityHQ]

We're hosting our first Design Meetup in SF! Join us April 28th, the night before @Stripe Sessions. We'll have free BBQ, lot's of fun conversations, and share a peek at what we're building. Free to attend, space is limited — RSVP NOW! https://t.co/lVIpRLzQSY
