Building @biscuit_so • Previously @Framer, @Spotify

[Blixt @blixt]

We’ve been quietly building Biscuit for 8 months. Today we’re opening up the waitlist.

Biscuit lets you describe your business idea and we handle everything: product, payments, emails, hosting, going live. You can publish and get your first customer the same day.

@nullptrx0 my personal harness! it's my daily driver, found official harnesses too laggy and also lacking some of the ux for stuff like automations, mcps, etc

[Blixt @blixt]

if you're building a harness and you decide to put intelligent ui in it then please steal this idea:
let the agent design a glance component that renders the same stuff as a single line so i can track the agent's updates from the sidebar

[Blixt @blixt]

@kirstenrpomales can't wait for the "stick your local llms into your water tank" edition

[Blixt @blixt]

@badlogicgames yeah also using https://t.co/FbLv4DN4BT, i've asked it "ah could you link me that third thing you mentioned?" and it's like "what third thing" and it turns out it's just oblivious to what it just told me, you'd almost think it has to be intentional but i don't get why

[Blixt @blixt]

@poteto @kepano very nice! great to see people thinking about how to show instead of walls of text. i thought @christianalfoni's ttmi was a great inspo for this as well: https://t.co/AhIVJuHC7m

[Blixt @blixt]

@pande_eeshita yes exactly! in fact they are also live ios widgets because i made an ios app that syncs this to my phone

[Blixt @blixt]

@ggsimm indeed! and it has to share a common language with the human... these boxes surprise me all the time, and they're great for holding state that disappears in pages of text! designing the primitives to allow any emergent behavior is tricky tho... (yes html/js but it's uglyyyy)

[Blixt @blixt]

@ggsimm gets janky when you push it, it's really for information display, but you can see if i pin the box it gets a glance in the top header (and sidebar, widgets, ...) and live updates that

i guess you can also do this if you want...

[Blixt @blixt]

@ggsimm ya, it's up to the agent really! it just says "this is my glance" and the rule is max 1 visual thing and one line of text. it's all live-bound with a backing db and both the agent and interactions can update it.

it can get pretty wild! made these now:

[Blixt @blixt]

and then make sure you have a nice ios app that has really good realtime sync with all your chats and of course lets you see your favorite glances as widgets

[Blixt @blixt]

@wesbos This is so much fun! I made an iOS app where I scan the apartment, and it stores everything as a database, so I can ask stuff like "what would this look like in the house", "what's the swing radius of the office door", or "help me set up WiFi". Plus realtime environmental data.

[Blixt @blixt]

first standup running biscuit on biscuit!

[Blixt @blixt]

my agents have taken to saying this a lot lately, i think they're trying to be nice about my time but come on

[Blixt @blixt]

@wiesson sickness/trips/bday, but i now have multi-machine and automations so probably won't be more gaps

…2023: stable pre-ai job
2024: soul searching
2025: ai startup
2026: first 3/4ths look flat because the tail end is up to ~500 commits per day, imo a real inflection point

[Morgan @morganknutson]

i wanted to visualize what my github history looked like before and after the AI inflection point.

see yours here - https://t.co/cx9KIBp3rH

i've looked at a few friends, eng and design, and it's really interesting to see the patterns.

[Blixt @blixt]

@levelsio Seeing the same! But also seeing folks a few months into this trajectory regretting vibe coding without safety or control in mind…

[Christian Alfoni @christianalfoni]

Agents explain things in walls of text. 📃

You ask how a system works, how a bug happens, or what a plan looks like, and you get twelve paragraphs back.

So I built https://t.co/QpbIAZ03rQ. Your agent draws what it’s explaining instead: https://t.co/6y0BTOsuep

[Amin Khorrami @khorrami_amin]

While working on @ClickHouseDB integrations in @Biscuit_so, I wanted to see what you could build on their public playground.
This was really fun! Climate stripes for any place on Earth. Up to 122 years of data!

[Blixt @blixt]

@mrncst @profound love it! *yoink*

@jesper_vos Very nice! Been using squircles extensively in a recent project that I use in Chrome and iOS (Safari) and the difference is painful.
