Fun fact: The eagle animation on trumpcard.​gov is actually the DOM cycling through a bunch of pngs of the eagle's head 🦅 Reminds me of Apple's iconic scroll-based AirPods/iPhone animations 😄

Claude Opus 5.5 feels like the first model to have truly solved video animation. We one-shotted this promo video for Dub.co using Opus 5.5 High via Cursor and it worked remarkably well 🤯 h/t Pedro Ladeira for the 🔥 vid

Fun fact: We actually built our AI emoji picker Dub.co with Jev at first, but since we had to feed the entire emoji catalog into Jev, it consumed a lot of input tokens. Refactored to a simple vector index on Upstash vector, and costs became nearly negligible 🤯 Just shipped this to prod – h/t Pedro Ladeira 👏

Lottie is truly remarkable for website animations. We refactored our homepage animations Dub.co from Rive → Lottie, resulting in 90% smaller file sizes. At our scale, this saved us $1K+/mo on Cloudfront 🤯 h/t Nattu for the pro-tip + Marcus Farrell for the refactor

We've been obsessing a lot about creating the best possible AI support experience Dub.co. And I think we've found the magic formula. The stack: ✦ Mintlify → docs + help articles ✦ Upstash vector → vector search ✦ AI SDK + Claude sonnet → LLM/retrieval ✦ Plain → support infra Here's how it works: We consolidated our docs + help articles on Mintlify (best-in-class docs platform) so all our support content is now in one place. On every push to main, we sync changes to our Upstash Vector DB. We also built a custom chat interface that retrieves content from Upstash Vector and generates responses via AI SDK + Claude sonnet. The best part: The AI agent uses 𝚝𝚘𝚘𝚕() from AI SDK to retrieve the user's workspace / partner data to provide accurate responses. Finally, if the user needs to speak to a human, we generate a 𝚃𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚝𝚄𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚊𝚍 UI that lets users upload screenshots + add more context, before creating a ticket on Plain. Cherry on top: The chat interface is embeddable, so we're able to embed it both in our Mintlify docs + support portal 👇 Since we launched this, it's been a gamechanger for scaling support – reducing support workload and creating a much better experience for our users. Highly recommend giving this a try!
