I make apps and websites with Low Code tools like @FlutterFlow He/Him/His 🏳️‍🌈👨‍💻

I have been checking the updates page at least 2 times a week because I knew it was suspiciously sparse these last couple months… We just moved our entire site over to framer and I would be lying if I said it wasn’t painful compared to the pace I’m used to moving with Claude code these days. im praying this is the update post I’ve been waiting for.

Claude code version bumps from 2.1.74 to 2.1.75, Claude's context bumps to 800k. RIP my usage limits.

Is it just me or is there a silent majority of people that are super anti-AI music? everyone is “lololol that’s a funny AI thing” and then you whip out a funny AI song and people are like …😶

1000% understand why and I generally agree when it comes to replacing human made art, but when even an innocuous meme is offensive it seems we’ve hit some sort of third rail… curious if this is where humanity will start drawing lines

That’s what I’ve been doing last few months, but there is something to be said for being able to use the tool rather than describing to the tool what you want it to do when it comes to fine tuning designs or quickly creating alternative layouts and styling options side by side.

Writing this out is giving me some prompting ideas for next time though...

[Nic Byron @nicbyron]

So I guess now it's
1. Vibe code some mocks with your real component library
2. Send it to figma
3. Tweak it until it's ready to show to the rest of the team to get feedback
4. Then paste the frames of the final product for Claude to build it out properly?

Seems like an incremental improvement. What else have people tried?

@HHaandr @RevenueCat Happy to hear we’re well in the top 3% at https://t.co/1Z0tZThaT8 after launching this fall 😻

Also sorry we went with @adapty 🫣

@richzou @partiful This is what I'm seeing 🙃

My least favorite part about being charged per request for Cursor is not being able to say thank you and celebrate when the job gets done well—reinforces a bad habit of not celebrating good work. @cursor_ai can we get a free thank you request per conversation?

We're launching something exciting tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Just finalized the panelists for our FFDG NYC event on Thursday and woah, what a lineup 🤯

Join us on Thursday at 6:30pm at the @flutterflow NYC office to hear a presentation from @codywilliamio (Lead Product Designer) on how FlutterFlow uses their own tool to augment their @FlutterDev development as well as a panel with Cody and these incredible folks from FF leadership: @_agreaves (Co-Founder & CTO), @asmengistu (Co-Founder & CTO), @LeighaJarett (Head of Product & UX) moderated by yours truly!

Tomorrow I'm giving a workshop on something I had never actually done before until yesterday. Yesterday, in one day, I learned how to use @flutterflow's Streaming API functionality and built a simple AI chatbot (real screen recording from my phone below).

One day. (With a little help from AI, of course).

My opinion: AI is great, but if we don't have an accessible way for people to apply it to real-world applications, it only helps the small percentage of people technical enough to harness it. Visual development (aka low-code) platforms, like FlutterFlow, make the innovation boosts from AI accessible to millions more. Allowing more people to turn their daydreams into realities.

If you're in NYC and are interested in taking a deep dive into building an app like this (and beyond) and want to learn about all the mistakes I made along the way, come to the workshop tomorrow at 6:30pm!

As fellow FFDG NYC member, @jontimianko, said at the last meetup, since so many of us are working remotely and sometimes solo, it's a gamechanger to have a community of people that get what you do and understand the problems you're working through.

Thank you to @EricaKHanson and the @flutterflow team for supporting the FFDG network!
