Education Lead @zite

[Gregory John @gregoryjohn]

On a personal note, I’ve joined @zite as Head of Education.

I learned a huge amount building Raydian, and I’m excited to bring those lessons into the enterprise space, working closely with businesses through Zite.

It’s a great team, strong leadership, and a product and roadmap that genuinely excite me.

[Dominic Whyte @domwhyte42]

Zite is acquiring @raydian_dev, our second acquisition this year

Founders Ryley and Greg are joining the Zite team

How we got here:

We first came across Raydian in November 2025

Even just 6 months ago, agentic building tools for non-engineers were far more limited

Raydian was early to several ideas that are now fundamental, like planning mode with tasks, design mode, visual editing, and built-in auth + databases

Before Raydian, their team spent years running Devize, a profitable no-code app builder. Not too different from how Zite grew out of Fillout

@ryley is joining Zite in a cross-functional role spanning engineering and go-to-market. He is a rare combination of builder and operator

@gregoryjohn is joining as Zite's first Head of Education. He's taught over 100,000 people how to build with no-code and will have a big impact on our customers

While the Raydian product is shutting down, many of the ideas and lessons behind it will make their way into @zite

🚨 Domain for sale

I bought this domain in Aug 2024 right as AI coding was gaining traction.

I planned to build a fully autonomous AI coding news + tools platform… although I made a start, I never got the time to fully execute.

The upside here is massive. Google Trends shows exploding growth (see first reply).

Serious buyers only, DM offers.

@tomosman @better_auth This looks insane Tom. Coolest UI out there.

Which one do you prefer?

"Jupiter is a CRM for small startup sales teams that need a fast, shared system of record for managing contacts, companies, and deals. The product is centered on clean list views, focused detail pages, and a visual pipeline so teams can quickly find records, understand account context, and move opportunities forward without the overhead of a heavyweight enterprise CRM."

I'm vibe coding an image upscaler called Clarity with @raydian_dev and @fal

Step 1 – Design your app screens and UI
Step 2 – Ask @raydian_dev to convert it into an app
Step 3 – Go for a run
Step 4 – Come back and test it

[Raydian @raydian_dev]

Here is the Raydian Autonomous Agent converting designs into a working app

[Gregory John @gregoryjohn]

People often ask how we achieve such high-quality designs.

The answer is simple: we separate design from logic.

First we focus purely on the design. Once the interface is right, we apply the logic using the @raydian_dev agent.

This keeps the UI clean, the architecture simple, and the results far better.

How does Raydian actually work?

Working in our infinite design canvas leads to better design outcomes and a smoother overall user experience.
