Early on I decided VibeFarm had to work comfortably in two constrained surfaces: mobile and a browser sidebar. A desktop-first UI made responsive would become a mess with this much density. So I picked a constraint that would either improve the product or break it fast: no dropdowns, no modals.

Why it felt wrong at first
For weeks it felt like self-handicapping. Dropdowns are efficient. Modals are convenient. They let you ship faster and keep the interface tidy. I kept wanting to add kebab menus and quick popups because they re familiar and compact.

But those patterns encouraged tuck it away for now decisions. In a row-based workspace, a kebab menu expands outward and detaches the controls from the row s content. In a sidebar, modal flows also get awkward fast. And once you let critical actions live in floating UI, you start designing around hidden surfaces instead of resolving the main surface.

With this whole AI trend, many tools are trying to be invisible: not apps you open, but helpers that quietly run in the background. They show up just enough interface: a chat box, a nudge, or an API call to deliver value, but otherwise stay out of sight.

With today s agent hype, this idea feels like it s accelerating. Agents promise to handle tasks across your apps without you lifting a finger.

Culture is the new API.

Culture doesn t just change our language, it changes what we see.

At the moment, things couldn't be better on the work front:

• I have a great team, and the company is doing well.

• I'm praised for the results I deliver and the progress I'm making.

• My networks are growing, and there's more and more interest in my sponsorships.

• More people want to work together.

• And I'm co-organising 2 offline events.

VibeFarm is the next evolution in how we create with AI.

You build with logic, tone, and behavior, then reuse what you create.

This is a quiet opening. What you see today is where the project began: an early build that sparked a much larger vision.

Since then, the real system has taken shape. What ships on New Year s Eve is that evolution.

Hey

Let's talk about that uninvited guest that shows up around month 3 of building your startup. You know the one. You started with fire in your belly, convinced you're building the next big thing. Then slowly, quietly, it creeps in:

"Who even needs this?"

We ve all seen flashy demos with slick animations but not all of them stick.

So here s the question: what actually makes a product video convincing to you?

Hey PH community!

I ve been thinking a lot about how weekends are a great time to reset, catch up, or make progress on side projects or personal goals whether it's shipping something small, cleaning up a Notion board, reading that book you ve been meaning to, or just unplugging completely.
