This reads like it's written by someone who works at vercel



Nope, just someone who likes vercel's design plus UX/UI, :)

What's great about this is that not only this is a next step in AI generated websites, but this is actually shipped software which is much better than the overpromised and overhyped thegrid.io vapourware.

Ahhh the grid, I remember that. There was another highly touted company around the same time that also had some mildly interesting tech and ideas sort of in the same vein but just burned through VC money. I was hoping the grid layout system based on constraints would mature enough to become a proper css standard at some point. We did eventually get css grid, which is pretty good, but having a constraints solver in css would be pretty neat. (Or just a performance nightmare.)


Not sure if this is what you mean but built in “masonry” support is now part of the CSS spec (barely any browser support yet though.

It's not, but I appreciate you sharing this anyway – thank you!

I was referring mostly to GSS: https://gss.github.io/

I think it was an interesting idea that unfortunately didn't really work out. This was before both flex and grid layouts were a thing, so anything new in this space was exciting really. It's a much better css layout world today than it was 8-10 years ago, and particularly grid layout is a very welcome change, but I can't help but think some great ideas have been left by the wayside. Maybe for good reasons, but still.


Well this reads like a competitor's bot post meant to throw shade on vercel.

I hope you understand this is a stupid game to play. We could chase our tails with this all day. Metadiscussion is off-topic.


I think it is a fair criticism about the intention as the tone in the post is a bit strange? What is shown in the video isn't great and the app isn't publicly available yet so any excessive praise really sounds strange.


LARPing that HN is being infiltrated by 'bad actors' like corporate/government agents is offtopic, boring, and pointless.


you know what's worse? Corporate bootlickers


Not strange at all. You're just used to the regular hate and toxicity HN is known for.


It's curious that many people are rushing to defend the notion that there's nothing suspicious about calling a non-public product with a mediocre 5/10 video a 'game-changer'.

"make the company logo blue". This is only game-changer if you also think React-PHP (RSC) is game-changer (which was, but to stop React growth and start its demise).

I think it is fair to be skeptical.

Roll a d20 and add your Wisdom modifier.

With disadvantage because 2 ≠ many.
