π On your radar
Keep your finger on the pulse of what we think is hot in the space right now π₯
βοΈ Building in your terminal with Google Gemini and Claude Code is actually feasible for us none coders.
π This matters because: Yes, it's another shiny tool but we can't help playing around. Here's a helpful explainer video. The key is it's free. Claude Code is wildly more expensive. Have a play that's all we ask.
βοΈ Software 3.0 is around the corner and we got a glimpse.
π This matters because: for the curious it's just a really well explained vision of what the future might look like from the guy who termed the phrase 'to vibe code'. Pour yourself a cuppa and watch like a Ted talk
Our main take away is that english will be the new programming language. This is great news for none-coders with ideas they want to bring to life.
πThis matters because: if you're already using Claude it's one less bit of friction. But it's also a super simple way to start tinkering with the most popular tools. It's definitely only for MVPs as there is no backend (database) support. Get inspired by their simple walkthroughs for creating games and others apps.

The Create With 2025 fireside conversation is out!
The session that kicked off the Create With Conference with Jonas Templestein (co-founder of Monzo and now building Iterate.com) is now available to view!
He shares his opinions the rise of AI agents, self-driving startups, how his own workflow has radically changed with LLMs, and the new productivity frontier unlocked by voice and real-time research tools. If you're an indie hacker, engineer, or founder trying to figure out how to ride the AI wave, this is a must-watch. Thank you to Charlie Ward for facilitating this brilliant session!
Stay tuned to the newsletter and our socials. Videos from this year's conference will be released weekly over the next month.
Escape to the sun-drenched coast of Crete with us for a very special, on-location episode of the Create With Podcast!
James is live from Bubble House Greece, the ultimate get-together for the world's most passionate no-code builders. In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Sarah Esteve, a certified Bubble developer, consultant, and the founder of Bubble House. We're also joined by Theo Goldberg from Bubble, who gives us the inside scoop on the electrifying hackathon centered around Bubble's newly launched native mobile builder.
β‘οΈ Over 130k Builders for The World's Largest Hackathon
Yesterday marked the finish line for a record setting month where over one hundred and thirty thousand, yes thousand, builders across the world competed for over $1M in prizes hosted by Bolt.new.
