But I am a webflow customer looking at ripping it out of our stack and just having it maintained by our team with alternative tools, powered by Claude/Codex.

I planned to follow some flavor of this -https://x.com/anitakirkovska/status/2053941736049967285?s=20

We currently pay almost $5k/year for hosting/licenses and its just not feeling worth it.

(disclaimer - still believe Webflow is 10x Wordpress!)

Also my family uses the name beechwood (its a street we grew up on). Is this an alternative universe?

Love the implementation. I'd really like to block Youtube on my firewall but let it through via this tool with a proxy or something.

Can I get this to load on the SmartTV, too?
