Netlify

Depending on the access you've connected and the permissions you've given it, it can work between conversations and come back with a result or something you need to decide.

That does require setup, and it doesn't mean it can do every action in every app or that you should give it access to everything you have.

I'm going to keep the examples here on the business side.

I'm not talking about putting client information into a general AI assistant.

A newsletter I don't need can go, but an email that looks like a newsletter might have a resource I paid for, or an opportunity that actually fits my business.

A cancellation needs to go to the person on my team who handles those.

It shouldn't disappear just because I personally don't need to answer it.

We had to get specific about those differences.

I'm a fan of these in the browser things.

You know, so often it's like, well, how do I share this thing I built with somebody? It's like, what if I could put it on a static file server? Netlify or something like that.

Yeah, I like the offline desktop executable mode as well.

Like you can build a desk, like an app, you can just app bundle, you can hand someone or an exe that someone can just run without any other dependencies.

They are back again.

So this one, the article that I linked to is from Netlify.

It's probably been written up by others as well, but there were two new critical vulnerabilities that were identified in the month of October so far for Next.js and React and one high vulnerability.

So All of them had to do with remote code execution.

So this doesn't even need to use the model.

Like I reckon could, could build this in Netlify in 25 minutes.

But what it does is it articulates, it demonstrates, it illustrates what you actually do.

Yeah.

And then obviously for the past five, six years, it's been Hugo using Cloudflare Pages as a static site.

I think actually I started it off with Netlify and then I moved to Cloudflare.

But regardless, it's been fantastic.

but hugo's kind of bursting at the seam i still absolutely adore hugo it's a fantastic minimal site generator so i highly recommend it but i did move to astro mainly because there was some settings that i needed to change there was there was an extra functionality and i was doing a lot with the site to where i was really bastardizing or frankensteining hugo to something that it didn't need to be but before we get into that Here's a word from our sponsor, Blacksmith, a replacement for GitHub Runners.

And is, is anything else working for you guys right now to, I guess, grow the newsletter or the community both?

yeah one thing that's worked exceptionally well recently is I basically so we write our newsletter on beehive it's on a Tuesday it's a job ops like job opportunities edition we like curate 40 or 50 different jobs from all around the internet and it's all like hand curated loads of personality people love it and then one day it was like a Saturday afternoon I was like oh what if I like vibe coded on Claude and published it on Netlify like a jobs board and what if we just called it the weird jobs board and now this sounds so simple and it is so simple like it's barely an innovation it all I added was the weird bit in it and I made this Instagram video that went bananas and in the first three weeks 900 000 people had seen this video and so our signups was like a um so that jobs board has essentially become a lead magnet and it's just what we're already publishing in the newsletter anyway

That's amazing.

That is the best case of repurposing content I've heard in a long time.
