Claude code? I have a free, open-source alternative!
I've been experimenting with Opencode, paired with GLM 4.7 from Z.ai, A 3-step AI coding workflow from ryancarson & the results are Amazing!!
The combo is not only cost effective but also incredibly powerful. I've seen significant improvements in my coding efficiency and accuracy.
The best part? It's completely free and open-source, giving me the freedom to customize and adapt it to my needs.
So, what are your thoughts on Opencode as a Claude code alternative? Have you tried it out?
At this moment I am pretty much convinced future of development will not be same.

I built my portfolio from scratch using Claude Code and I'm genuinely proud of how it turned out.
As a designer who can code, I wanted something that actually reflected that. So instead of a template, I built it myself with a little help from AI.
A few things I'm proud of:
The whole thing is custom built, no Webflow, no Squarespace
Claude Code helped me move fast without sacrificing quality
It gave me full control over every interaction and detail
It felt like the most honest way to show who I am as a designer in 2026

Can AI compete with packaging designers?
I just generated these product packaging using @ImagineArt AI.
Took less than 30 seconds.
What do you think ? Good job or it’s a no for you , please check the comment for the prompt used .
Interesting results. AI seems great for generating initial concepts, but I think designers still refine the final product and brand story.
I just designed a 1$ million dollar product that could change how people find homes.
