We had this coming soon page up for a client within a couple hours after our initial kickoff. Pulled their current logo from their site, vectorized it, whipped up a scene in Unicorn Studio, and voila 🤌
the blue shield looks cool. how long did that take?
Been exploring WebGL + shaders through this cylindrical image gallery.
A few things I’m taking from it:
- Think about the surface before the individual images.
- Small speed differences can add a lot of depth.
- Shaders work best when they support the interaction.
- Most of the polish is in fixing seams, timing and transitions.
- Performance quickly becomes part of the design.
Still experimenting with how far this can go while keeping it useful for real websites.
Super cool animation Franco!! 🚀
Three years ago, we built a service provider booking app (plumbers, carpenters, electricians) from scratch, fully custom code. Took close to 4 months to get live.
Today, with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT in the workflow, I think a comparable MVP could realistically ship in 4-6 weeks. The boilerplate and repetitive work compress fast, matching logic and payment edge cases still need real engineering judgment.
If you had to rebuild something similar today, what timeline would you expect?
Four to six weeks feels realistic for a focused MVP now. The acceleration is real, but matching rules and payment edge cases are still where the product needs careful engineering.
