People who say, “You can use a dongle” or “Just buy Bluetooth earphones” are missing the point. It’s never about what compromises we, as consumers, can make; it’s about users’ choices and preferences.

I’m fine with manufacturers wanting to make more money by selling dongles or Bluetooth earphones, but I’ll never accept them doing so by removing features to force us to buy them.

With Inertia.js, you get the real feel of an SPA without the complexity of maintaining APIs just for the frontend. You can even make some pages plain HTML (like the homepage, legal pages, etc.), while making pages that require reactivity SPAs.

That said, Relay.app announced its shutdown a few weeks ago, and now Flowise is winding down too. I wonder whether coding agents are really the cause, or whether these products simply struggled to find a sustainable market.

Disclosure: I’m building Aqua Blue (aquablue.app) around a related idea: AI builds the workflow, but fixed rules run it.

If your page asks people to try the product, let them try it. Asking them to enter something and click “Try,” only to immediately hit a signup wall, is frustrating and makes them feel tricked.

If determinism is important, as it is in many business use cases, use agents to build the tool, but don't let them run it.

I built a similar product around this exact idea: AI builds the workflow. Fixed rules run it.

For restaurants frequented by foreign tourists, yes. But for most ordinary restaurants, probably not. Handwritten menus with no pictures at all are still very common in Japan.

I work in food tech in Japan.

For example, syncing orders from e-commerce sites to their internal spreadsheets, generating invoices with custom workflow etc
