This team likes shipping 🚢🚢🚢
Fun fact: This is the 17th launch from @netlify on @producthunt; their 5th launch in the last 6 months.
Product Hunt definitely is a great place for developer tools.

Today, Daytona is announcing a $24M Series A, led by @FirstMarkCap, to give every agent a computer.
This round reflects what the market is increasingly concluding: the cloud was not built for agents.
Full announcement 👇

Wow, 9 million developers on Netlify.
We onboarded a million new developers the last 3 months.
If you're on of them, thank you!
What do you want us to ship next?

As the son of an undocumented immigrant (my mom overstayed an au pair visa for years before marrying my dad, a U.S. citizen), it’s deeply personal: Reddit wouldn’t exist if ICE had come for her.
I do think border security matters. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of crushing lives. A sensible amnesty / legalization policy (like what Reagan offered in 1986!!) could strike a better balance:
Path to citizenship for law-abiding, hard-working undocumented immigrants <>.
Order and accountability; those who don’t step forward for the pathway should face enforcement under due process.
This isn’t open borders, it’s smart borders + humane immigration reform.
The guys up at the crack of dawn in the Home Depot parking lot <> or the women hustling their home-made food on the corner are <> the men & women we want contributing to this great nation. We shouldn't be rounding them up at gunpoint.

Today vibe coding goes pro.
Introducing Bolt v2:
→ World's best agents (Claude Code, Codex)
→ Built in backend (hosting, DB, storage, ...)
→ No error loops, no setup nightmares
Now anyone can build without boundaries.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The "👨👩👦 Readers added context" note under the video is not actually a community note. Their marketing team wrote that. communitynotes.x.com/guide/en/about…

I’m excited to launch @tessl_io's first products!
Introducing the Tessl Framework and Tessl Spec Registry, which integrate into any agent to keep it on rails and well informed using Spec-Driven Development.
More details in the launch post: tessl.co/z01
It’s a big milestone in the journey towards AI Native Development🚩
I’m proud of our amazing team, and keen to get beta feedback from the community! ❤️
What’s the problem we’re solving?
Agents are powerful, but they’re very unreliable. They hallucinate, claim false success and break things often enough that it’s hard - and tiring - to use them on production code.
How are we helping?
The Tessl Framework makes agents capture intent in specs before coding, aligning you and the agent on what to build. It adds tests as harder guardrails, and stores specs as long term memory of what your product should do. It’s available in private beta - visit our home page to request early access: tessl.co/2b3
The Tessl Spec Registry helps agents use open source better. It contains over 10,000 usage specs for using libraries, which you can add to your project like regular dependencies. It also lets you distribute your own guidance and policies to agents. It’s in open beta and free to use! Check it out here: tessl.co/jb8
Both products are just the beginning, and we’re committed to building them in the open. Check out the video or our launch blog post for more info: tessl.co/z01
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, in the thread or our community Discord!

Netlify is the only place outside of Vercel where Next can be deployed on a serverless front-end cloud with support for all the advanced features.
Today we're joining Open Next and starting to share our expertise with the broader community to help make Next run on more platforms.
🤝 We're moving our open-source Next.js adapter to the OpenNext GitHub organization and will begin collaborating across providers, like @Cloudflare and @SST_dev, to make sure Next.js runs well everywhere. bit.ly/40m6I9z

I’m excited to introduce my new company, @tessl_io!
We’re reimagining software development for the AI era, and helping shape a new software development paradigm we call AI Native Software Development.
The AI tools we use for development today are novel and powerful, and we should all invest in embracing them - but they are only the beginning. They optimize dev workflows created before the LLM revolution, bolting on AI at various spots.
To tap the true potential of AI-powered dev, we need to rethink these workflows from first principles, assuming AI is built in. This is what we mean by AI Native development.

GPT-4o voice mode is really impressive.
We gave it a face with @synthesiaIO EXPRESS-1, our latest avatar model.
When empathy is important – healthcare, coaching, education - a friendly face really makes a difference.
It's why we do Zoom over phone calls.
What do you think?
