I've always wanted to build a point & click game. Finally made it happen. Meet "Past": an adventure with a full story, cinematics, and dialogue. 52 rooms to explore, 13 characters to meet. Play it on desktop or in your browser. Then I turned the whole workflow into AI agent skills, so you can build this kind of game with your own story and art 👇 > new-adventure: a working Godot game to start from, with inventory, saves, dialogs and a sample game that plays start to finish > art-requests: every image comes from a prompt file you can trace > look-gate: lock in your art style before you paint 50 rooms > story-track: story, cast and puzzles planned before any art > paint-room: one data file becomes a playable room > painted-hero: your hero painted frame by frame over 3D pose guides > skinned-npc: side characters animated from a single painting > memory-reveals: flashbacks, cutscenes and big reveals > voice-cast: every line voiced with ElevenLabs > ship-check: test it and ship it to desktop and the web All 10 skills: github.com/TheOrcDev/skills/… You can play the game here: past-nu.vercel.app/ If you'd like to see more content like this, make sure to follow. I'll definitely create more 🔥

You honestly cant save Framer template creators from themselves... Their time in the safety of the v1 marketplace has completely warped their realities.

The number of Framer creators who cant even creator a basic portfolio site with permalinks to each of their individual templates baffles me. Like do they not understand the basics of SEO and the interweb? Its no wonder the Framer marketplace changes wiped out an entire generation. These template creators have no basic understanding of how to build their own template portfolios.

We love supporting creators in the shadcn ecosystem and we’ve sponsored HEAPS. But it’s gotten to the point where we’re being intentionally left out of organic lists and resources, and then getting requests for paid placements... Lame.

All the Framer dudes moving to Astro are about to get a reality check when they try and add their first headless CMS.
DesignMe left Framer for Astro and now edits its whole site through Claude. "We ask, review, and ship." That works when whoever asks can also review what changed. Most founder sites are edited by someone who can't read a diff, and for them the Framer canvas is the review step.

All I can say that the responses so far in this thread make me 💯 certain I would not let a framer designer implement even a basic small business Astro site with a workable CMS that a client can edit in a real world way.

Replying to @ogxaryan
Headless CMS visual editing is still far from solved. Plenty of companies are trying to crack it, but the experience is still pretty bad. Building a good section-based page builder in a headless CMS, using arrays of blocks, requires real architectural discipline and technical skill. You need to think carefully about schemas, content models, component flexibility and the editing experience. Marketing pages are inherently unstructured. Forcing them into structured content models introduces creative constraints and trade-offs that many designers coming from Framer aren't used to dealing with, either technically or mentally. Yes, you can use AI to scaffold an Astro site and integrate a headless CMS. That's the easy part. Building a genuinely good, maintainable solution that gives clients a great editing experience without compromising the design is an entirely different problem. This is a problem the industry has been wrestling with for decades. AI doesn't make those trade-offs disappear. Take a cohort of designers accustomed to Framer's freeform canvas and ask them to build production-quality CMS-driven sites for clients. The technical and conceptual gap is enormous

Hey @PaddleHQ, You’ve been withholding over $10K in payouts for 3 months now... Ive promptly provided all requested documentation and Paddle itself signed the paperwork on August 21. Since then, I’ve repeatedly emailed your support and Risk teams with almost no meaningful response. My funds are still locked, and I’m being ignored. I’ve exhausted the normal support channels. I shouldn’t have to resort to Twitter to get a response about my own money. Can someone at Paddle please take ownership of this and resolve it?
