CodePen

They're just like, Oh wow.

Tokens are being spent and it's amazing, you know? But it's like, I feel like we need to like really like harness this, like, no man, like it's a battle to get it to like pay, do pay attention to the right stuff as we build, you know? Like I think I, you know, I think you were even saying on your CodePen radio about the AI feature y'all just launched.

You're like, we had to build a harness to make sure it does the right things and doesn't do bad things.

And then we have to keep it focused and make sure it can do all these critical path tasks, right?

I can't remember the details of it.

You just... mentioned it last week and then i didn't get it but that's not your fault that's probably okay i do

i think in the discord i did drop a beta link should anybody who's part of the discord want to grab it and it's you know when you bundle up in development a plugin like that and these are installable in cursor and windsurf and anti-gravity and all that stuff as well as vs code um But anyway, what it does for CodePen is you just drop a URL in there and it'll pull a pen down and you can work on it locally and it pushes the stuff back up in all this.

And you can make new pens and whatever.

The 24 best CSS free to use buttons.

With CodePen examples, if you're looking for some awesome CSS buttons, you've come to the right place.

I've curated 24 of my favorite free-to-use CSS buttons.

Hey, everybody.

Time for another CodePen Radio big show for you this week.

It's all about our brand new CodePen AI feature, which is available to use right now.

If you're a pro subscriber on CodePen, you have access to it.

And might I say, it's very good.

It does a good job of doing AI stuff.

getting better.

Yeah, getting better all the time.

Hello, everybody.

Time for another CodePen Radio.

It's Chris, your friend, and Marie, your also friend.

We're both your friends.

Oh, most definitely.

Yeah.

Yes, this has been a feature request since probably the first week I joined CodePen, which was, you know, 85 years ago.

Yeah, I remember it.

It is indexed a bunch of the Internet.

So for the cool stuff that, or front-end things that I don't actually know how to do, there are examples on CodePen for very similar things, but I don't know what they're like called, so I might not be able to go find a good example of how to do the like diagram SVG generation stuff that we did in Hatchbox and like- That's really painful for me, but I know that with the LLM, I describe what I want, and it's like, "Oh, I've seen this before.

Let me go tweak that to, you know, what you're describing," and it can absolutely do that, and it's amazing.

If it was actually creative and capable of real thinking, then you could say, like, "Okay, build me a billion-dollar business," and then it could actually, like, find a gap in the market that's worth money, that's expensive, go find the solution for it, start building it, then build a sales team and do marketing and buy ads and whatever.

[gentle music] Hey, everybody.

Time for another CodePen Radio.

We're gonna talk about images a whole bunch, like a super important part of the internet.

[chuckles]

Sweet.

Beautifully, artistically done page.

Anyway, w- we're talking about images on CodePen specifically, um, because we've touched them a bunch recently, and I think it's interesting.

We have.

Yeah.

Uh, "Hey, by the way, can I sell you a CodePen Pro?" [laughs]

Yeah, totally.

No, uh-

Yeah, yeah.

Like we have...

I'm trying to get it integrated on CodePen.

It's complicated enough that it's not out yet.

Hello, everybody.

It's time for CodePen Radio.

Did

that work?

I feel like any pen should just be able to be a website.

A pen is a website, you know? And I know a lot of people, like, they would never dream of this.

They're using CodePen just to play with a little, like, you know, I don't know how the timing of this will work out exactly, but Stephen and I just did a CodePen school, which you should subscribe on YouTube for, of course.

And we were just like playing around with the random function or we play around a lot.
