I'll just leave this here.

Another favorite "framework creator" moment is spotting a Wasp app in the wild. There's no a definitive way to do it, so I really on cues. One of the "surest" ones is checking the signup form: Whenever I see "Or continue with", I'm "Yep, that's a 🐝".

The most exciting use of AI is removing boilerplate. In all areas of life - emails, accounting, coding, ... It is just that in coding boilerplate is so well defined and isolated, there's no friction to deal with it. That why we talk about it so much.

The best part about building a web framework is seeing all the amazing things people build with it. Today I learned about Chroni - a SaaS that handles your family's emergency plans. Earthquake, flood, .... We had an earthquake in Croatia a few years ago. I signed up, stats.

Whenever I get annoyed/overwhelmed by twitter, I get an urge to get off of it. But the right thing to do is to focus on writing myself, instead of just consuming.

The view from the office today.

Claude Code + Wasp has become a killer combo for sustainable SaaS dev. Programming is now all about how well can LLM use the tools you assign it (or it assigns it itself). Wee see developers switching from mainstream frameworks to Wasp in Beta, simply because "My LLM gets it".

All the folks talking about AI completely taking over (programming, etc), have you ever ran the whole thought experiment? What would our work and life look like? How'd people be designing, building and maintaing products? I think this would be very interesting.

2025 was the most productive year for Wasp, ever - the path to 1.0 is now clear. Here are the key stats we're proud of: 🚀 5 launches 📦 13 releases ⭐ 8K+ new GitHub stars 👾 4,669 Discord members 🐝 FT team of 8 Full review and what's coming next in the comments 👇

Wasp team in a nutshell. A pretty amazing bunch to work with. Keeping the team deliberately small is probably the best decision we've made.

How do you feel about by-default-on telemetry in an open-source project? It's a widely discussed topic but still causes a lot of waves every so and so.

I'm on twitter every day, but also speak to developers every day. The gap between the hype about AI and the reality is huge. Here's the boring truth everybody knows but is afraid to say, b/c somebody on the internet said they're one-shotting the world.

I was so lazy to start a timer that I asked Claude to build it and run it front of me. Sorry, trees. It was kinda cool to see it though.

Good morning, Waspeteers. It's great to be back 🐝

Our Xmas Launch Party kicks off in 45 minutes! See you there! 🎄🐝 (bring your sweater)

so close 🤏

React 19 support is coming right in time for 🎄

Just off another user interview. It's amazing when you get thanked multiple times for creating such a useful framework, but then also completely bashed for all the stuff which doesn't work as it should.

Can I ask an LLM to show me all the non-team meetings I had in the last e.g. two weeks? What's the easiest way to do it, GCal MCP?

Turns out I'm a 🔥🔥🔥 guy. Had higher hopes for myself but I guess this where we at.

We decided to short-circuit how we do launches and do something different this time. More info coming soon 🎄

"Rapid framework for saas that keeps all in line and let's you achieve your dreams." - @WaspLang user, recent interview

A full day of work on growth strategy for Wasp today. Building a new framework is incredibly fun, but it's only 50% of the work. If no one knows about what you're building and can't get excited about it, then what you build doesn't matter at all.

In recent user interviews, we're seeing an interesting pattern: Wasp is used by developers who don't primarily work in JS. They come from Java, Python, etc. To them, the whole ecosystem sounds scary and complicated. They want something that just works.

What's the best tiling manager for Mac? I used XMonad in my Arch days and loved it.

My brother and I invented a new programming language for web development. It got trending on HackerNews and we raised $5M. Five years later, I admit it was a mistake. A new, custom language is scary + IDE support is a real PITA. Here’s the full story and what's coming next:

From one framework creator to another, huge congrats to @bunjavascript on the acquisition. Creating a new framework from scratch and getting it adopted is probably one of the hardest (also most rewarding) things a programmer can do.

Just spoke to a founder who built a whole AI-powered SaaS from scratch with Wasp and got 300 users even before officially launching it.

Here's a little hack for standing more at my desk: Every time I raise it to a standing position, I go behind it and unplug it from the outlet. This way, if I feel like sitting, I have to go through the hassle of plugging it back in. Most of the time, I just end up standing.

Just wanted to say out loud that @useTRMNL is an extremely cool team. They sponsored our recent Design-AI-Thon at @WaspLang and went above and beyond to deliver rewards to winners.

Sprint planning today. It's kinda become a "ritual" at Wasp and feels like we're taking a moment to step back, dust off, and get ready for another round. I used to think about it as a boring SCRUM thing. But now it's become this moment of excitement of what we're going to ship.

Who's the most talented designer you know? We're looking to put a fresh coat of paint on this old hag as we close in to 1.0.

Back to the drawing board. After four years of building, we're doing full-scale user interviews again. So many folks started using Wasp lately and we realized we need to understand better what drove them to it. If you're building with Wasp / Open SaaS, send me a DM. I'd love to chat.

The reason so many developers use AI for their work isn't because they are more productive. It's simply because they're bored. [the same goes for frameworks]

It's not waking up early that's hard. It's going to bed on time.

when they ask me why build a new web framework in the AI era.

Claudeflare?

It's working she's laughing

Sick today. But always nice to get motivation from the team.

Asking people to stop studying Computer Science is the same as asking them not to study medicine because there are now LLMs. You don't want your doctor to not understand what GPT said. And don't forget these doctors are using software that an engineer wrote.

found an awesome morning mix. jazzy sax upbeat tunes. also hard to explain why but I like the goose pic so much

Working remotely is great in many ways, but makes it harder to stay in touch with the people. This is why we started a "Morning Wasp Coffee Shop" in our Discord - folks can join any time, chat or just sip their coffee and start their day with some company.

A lot of cool stuff coming to Open SaaS! Vinny did a great job refining all the ideas and requests. It's a goldmine for hungry OSS contributors.

The beautiful thing about a framework is that it is a pure idea - no any "physical" weight whatsoever. It's designing how one thinks. It's not a SaaS that needs to be hosted in order to be "alive". No company has to exist to make it available.

I installed Zed and about to give it a test ride. I've been looking for a way to recreate my Vim setup. VS Code couldn't live up. This is a new ray of hope.

AI is bad at design for the same reason it's bad at humor - it lacks taste and subtlety. x.com/MatijaSosic...

We didn't know what we were doing even before AI. Now we can just not know faster.
