00:07 [music] um because it's yes I'm going to be talking about the status of uh weaver space but I also want to talk about
00:18 web design in our industry in general and and where that space is right so what what is the state of of web design
00:26 right now and ultimately how Does Weaver Space fit into all that and how does our community fit into that all that and what direction are we going? So, um
00:37 yeah, this is year number 10, right? Pretty cool. Um been going for 10 years, 10 years strong. Um a whole decade of
00:47 conferences. Now, it's not always been the Weaver Space Summit. Sometimes it was, you know, it started off as the Rap Weaver Conference and blah blah blah. We had a couple other names, but 10 years
00:55 we've been doing an online summit and uh thank you very much for attending. Um I know a lot of you have attended every single one of these and um I really
01:05 appreciate that. So um we've tried to be true to our learn, teach, and have fun philosophy and hopefully this uh weekend
01:13 will won't be any different. Okay. Um just some quick numbers. So since we've been here for 10 years, right? Um we've built at Weaver Space only. Okay. Over a
01:24 thousand different stacks um spread across I around 135. I think over time it was like some of them got decommissioned.
01:33 We're probably at like 150 plus over 10 years, right? But as of right now I'm at 135 products, which is crazy. Okay. And
01:41 I've decommissioned at least 15 or 20. So we're definitely probably pushing 200, right? Products over 10 years. Um
01:49 YouTube channel has over 850 videos. That's a lot of videos, right? So, um, thank you very much for that. I hope you
01:57 guys have watched every single one of them. Um, next up is, yeah, over a 100,000 websites have uh have a Weaver Space
02:08 Stack on it, which is pretty awesome. Um, that is definitely a guesstimate. It's kind of hard to know the exact number out there, but um that is my
02:17 guesstimate is approximately over 100,000 websites um are built using Weaver Space Stacks. Uh which is which is crazy. Um it could be more um but
02:27 it's definitely close. Um I I definitely went conservative on those numbers. Okay. Um and then yeah, over 4,500 total
02:35 CMS sites. That's obviously version one and version three. Okay. in one version two website out there [snorts] for all you haters that are gonna bust my balls.
02:45 Okay. And as of last year, we have better sight host that is now hosting over 300 websites as of yesterday. So,
02:53 um yeah, pretty exciting stuff, right? Um that's Weaver Space and the numbers over 10 years. Okay, but before
03:02 we get going, the first thing I want to talk about is kind of like the elephant in our room. It's not necessarily in the room, but in the web design community, right? And
03:11 I'm sure all of you have felt it and uh have thought about it. And it's obviously AI, right? Like
03:19 [clears throat] I know a lot of you have probably had the same feeling uh you know, seeing people build websites in like I built
03:29 this 20page website in 30 SECONDS. WATCH MY YOUTUBE VIDEO. RIGHT? I'm sure you've seen a lot of those, right? Where uh, you know, AI is going to kill the web,
03:40 right? Have you ever heard the term uh, you know, SEO is dead, long live SEO, right? It's kind of a kind of a thing,
03:49 right? Same thing. Web design is dead, long, long live web design, right? Um, so yeah, we're going to be talking about this. I think that you know even even if
04:00 people have been thinking like oh stacks we don't need AI can do it all for me right I why do I need stacks or
04:08 why do I need whatever else right I just chat can uh I can type up tell it what I want and chat's going to make some uh HTML and CSS for me and I'll put that
04:18 online and I'm good to go right so um let's go way back in time okay in 1965 Five. Time magazine predicted that
04:29 computers would either allow every one of us to work 20 hours a week or leave 2% of people, which means 98%
04:39 of people aren't going to work at all because computers are going to do it all. Right now, I don't know about you guys,
04:48 but I definitely don't work 20 hours a week. [laughter] Right? So um you know obviously now this isn't to say that predictions are wrong
04:58 okay it's just to just to tell the fact that humans we are horrible at predicting what technology is going to
05:06 do for us right it's going to we're horrible at predicting how it's going to change what things are going to look like right let's look at Back to the Future right
05:16 the movie I know a lot of you are probably Back to the Future fans in here how come we don't have hoverboards yet right I I mean that that should have happened by now, right? So yeah, a lot
05:26 of times we we overestimate some things and we underestimate other things and what reality is is always different. Okay, so the better questions is okay
05:38 isn't um is is AI going to kill web design? Okay, the better questions are what are the what are the risks of um
05:48 what are the actual risks that we have and how can we reduce that. Okay, so let's talk about
05:59 who our clients are. Okay, there's I I think three different types of clients. Okay, um the first one
06:07 is the diyer. Okay. Now, a lot of you here attending the conference um are DIYers, right? Okay. Now,
06:16 you aren't not everyone here is a freelancer. Not everyone here is building websites for other people. That's okay. Okay. Um you're a DIYer and
06:26 you're you're going to for you AI is absolutely amazing. Okay? Because you're like, I have superpowers,
06:36 right? Really cool stuff. Okay, for um you freelancers in the room, DIYers aren't your clients, okay? They're
06:46 definitely not you. You you they're never going to hire you. They're they never were. AI is now going to make them supercharged, okay? And as we'll see a
06:56 little bit later on, supercharged even more and I think a lot have a lot more fun. Okay, then next up is we have the convenience
07:04 client. And this is actually AI is kind of moving this line between convenience client and DIYer, right? But the
07:12 convenience client is like they have the ability to do something. They understand the technology behind it, but they they just need someone to pay to do it
07:23 because they they don't have the time. It's more convenient for them to hire you to do with something rather than them to do it. Okay. Um, but the the
07:32 last client is the one we should all be striving for, okay? Which is the value client, and that's someone that's paying for an
07:41 outcome, not necessarily the the the tasks to be done. Okay? Right? So, value
07:50 clients, what do they what do they pay for? Right? They're not paying for you to build a web page. They're not paying for you to connect a domain or do your DNS and all that jazz, right? They're
07:58 they're paying for your expertise on SEO and strategy um user experience AI um
08:07 marketing blah blah blah blah blah blah blah right and
08:15 it is important that we as [clears throat] as freelancers yes one thing that's very important is AI can help with a lot of
08:25 these individual little things. But having knowing where all of these and how they work together, okay, is
08:33 very important because sometimes SEO, you need to maybe sacrifice a little bit of SEO in order to increase
08:42 marketing or maybe improve UX, right? Or maybe you know we need to uh you know if marketing is obviously very important
08:50 and conversion rates are very important maybe we need to strategize some things about it or you know tweak the UI in UX. So it's it's how are all of these things
08:59 interrelated? How do we know how all these individual parts of the web design are and how do they work together? Okay.
09:09 [snorts] Now, um I heard this analogy um in a YouTube video a few weeks ago, and I thought it was pretty interesting, right? Um so, web design isn't chess.
09:20 Okay? Now, as you know, um computers are very good at chess and they've beaten chess masters throughout the the you
09:29 know, the world um because chess is a game of rules and um very stringent rules that computers can now be very
09:38 good at. Okay, but web design isn't chess. Web design is Martian tennis as this was put it. Now, you might ask, what is Martian
09:48 tennis? Well, you you Martian tennis, you can see the players and you can see the court and you see the rackets and but nobody tells you what the rules are
09:58 and you have to figure them out as you go. Okay? And not only that, but over time the rules change. That's Martian tennis, right? and
10:09 AI because all the rules are constantly changing, right? You're you're client your client projects, you have an SEO thing, but you're also fighting with
10:17 this UX thing and then, you know, Google decided to to uplate update something and, you know, tank everybody's SEO scores. What do we then do now? Right?
10:26 It's this constantly changing game where hopefully because you guys are all here, you know, you always constantly have to learn, do new things, right? And that is
10:37 going to be very important that that is the human aspect the the actual um knowing how everything is entangled
10:46 right and how the all those various domains SEO and UX and marketing how all of those intermix and play with each other that requires a human to know
10:54 right and also does does something look good right and so there's a lot of tweets I I'm still on
11:04 Twitter And um there's a lot of tweets out there about, hey, I made this website in 10 seconds, right? And a few weeks ago um Gap, which is a very
11:15 popular online animation library, it's actually what powers all my Drift stacks and a bunch of my stacks. I use Gap in a lot of places, right?
11:24 They sent out a they they slapped some people in the hand and and said, "Hey, yo, you did not build this website in 30 seconds. This website was built by blah
11:34 blah blah blah blah blah blah. It named all these people. These are very power, you know, uh, amazing designers that took a lot of time building some amazing
11:43 products and amazing websites. And because your AI copied their design doesn't mean that they used GAP to
11:51 create a web design in 30 seconds. No, these amazing websites were built by designers who took their time um to do that, right? So
12:01 all these social media things that you hear about AI doing this and that in 10 seconds it's clickbait. Okay. Um it's not
12:12 necessarily 100% true. Okay. Um now AI is has done something else for
12:20 us. Um, a part of those all those tools that we know that we have SEO and marketing and all that stuff I talked about earlier, AI has given us a new
12:30 tool to sell. Okay? And that is if you know how to use AI, you can now how can you automate your customers businesses.
12:40 Okay? So, how do you take your website? How do you help your customers through automation using AI? I know there are freelancers here today
12:50 that are shifting their their business strategy from being just I can create a website for you to hey I can create an AI strategy for your business that
13:00 includes web and marketing and and automation in the background right that's something that you can sell right
13:08 so let's not fight AI let's not say hey AI is going to destroy us blah blah blah blah blah let's just all use AI to no If if if this is something a business that
13:18 you want to be in, you need to embrace it and learn the tools so that you could become a marketable asset to those valuebased clients.
13:28 Okay. [snorts] So AI can get you started, okay, but it
13:37 doesn't necessarily take you across the finish line. Okay. I think that is one thing uh that AI does really really well. It allows us to go from zero to
13:47 70 to 80% really fast. Okay. And I think that it, you know, that's why those DIYers are in love with it, right? Okay. Because yes, the
13:57 initial part, it can get you from 0 to 60 really quick. Okay. But then those final touches, taking everything over the finish line, that's definitely
14:07 something that you that requires you. Okay. Um, and yeah. So, where does Weaver Space fit in in all this?
14:20 Let's see. How am I doing on time? I'm doing good on time. Okay. So, what is Weaver Space in 2026? So, I see Weaverspace as right now we
14:32 have four pillars. Okay. Um, in Weaver Space, okay. Now, the first is obviously and I'll I'll give you a kind of a little road map on where on where these
14:42 four things are going. Okay, so first we're going to talk about is probably what I've been talking about the most in the past year or so, okay, is total
14:50 CMS3, right? And um I'm sure you've seen a lot of the live streams and all the hoopla and talk about it on the community. It's big, right? It's been
15:00 completely version 3.5 that's in uh release candidate right now. gamechanging. Okay. And you'll see you'll see a lot of that over this
15:09 weekend. Okay. Um it's a triedand- trueue CMS that we've used for years, but version three is not only a level above like it's like 10 levels above.
15:19 Okay. It's seriously good. And what do I mean by what you know?
15:28 Total CMS is a platform. Okay. So, um, as of right now, um, as always, it's a flat file. There's no database, right? There's nothing to babysit. There's, you
15:37 know, a lot of security concerns already done for you, right? Um, it's a proven, um, you know, framework and system for AI and systems to know how to work with,
15:48 right? You don't need to reinvent the wheel um, with total CMS. Okay. Now, you can use any front end with it. Um, although although STAX is amazing, huge
15:58 fan of STAX. More on that in a little bit. Okay. Um, and yeah, there's already 4,500 sites built with Total Cams, not
16:07 version three. Um, you know, I should have pulled just the version three numbers, but um, it's growing. Okay. Um, I'm super excited about that. Okay. And
16:16 one thing I I'm super excited about is now that it's kind of this own platform is bringing in people from outside the STAX universe, right, in and building
16:25 the community even larger than we've ever had before. that I'm super excited about. Right? We need to bring in all kinds of new stuff. So, um, spread the
16:33 word. If you love Total CMS and you're talking to some other designers or anyone else, spread the word about Total CMS. I think it's going to be amazing. It's going to be a great [snorts] way, a
16:43 good platform to help build our community up even bigger. Okay. Um, and as I said earlier, it's built from the ground up. Well, mostly from
16:52 the ground up for an AI era. Okay. From day one. Right. this current version, man, I've put a lot of work so that it is extremely AI friendly. Okay, you can
17:02 build your schemas, build your collections, build objects. We can um there is an MCP server built in version 3.5. Um you're going to see some of that
17:12 today. Um really cool stuff. Okay, STAXGuru um already has uh the release candidate shipped out to it. Go to
17:20 staxguru.com. You can um there's a URL there for to get the MCP server. You can add that into chat GPT or claude or
17:28 whatever your AI agent of choice is and start querying it, right? Really cool stuff. You get some really great results.
17:37 So yes, it is I've fully embraced AI instead of trying to resist AI. I fully embraced it in Total CMS3 and um I think
17:48 it's it's what's going to make it go apart from everything else, right? It's going to go ahead of everything else that's currently out there. Um I think it's definitely uh uh next level.
17:58 Okay, next pillar, Foundation. Uh I know all of you love Foundation, the stacks, and I have big plans for it. Okay. Um I'm
18:09 I'm almost done with getting Total CMS stable and kind of growing and it has its own legs and start going. Okay. And then I've already started some work on
18:19 the next level of Foundation. Now you might be wondering, Foundation is an open-source project, which means um I
18:27 spend tons of hours and give it away for free to developers to use. Okay. and
18:36 um and then we get amazing stacks because of that. Okay. Um it is currently two main parts of to of
18:46 foundation are Inky and actually this year I've completely rewritten Inky um which is an email framework. Uh I've
18:54 completely rewrote it and uh it's going to be pretty cool. It's actually the what powers the email stacks if you didn't know that. Okay. Um, so Inky 2,
19:05 uh, is completely responsive. It's crossplatform. Um, it's its own email language, actually, which is really cool. I have some, um, people already
19:15 testing it. Um, and yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. It will be integrated into Total CMS. It was supposed to be in version 3.5. It'll probably be in the next version. I had to cut some stuff
19:24 cuz, uh, 3.5 was getting pretty big. So, um, yeah, Inky 2, um, it's already in beta. Uh, it is open source. uh and the
19:33 next version of the email stacks will will leverage that. It'll also be integrated into total CMS 3.x in the future. Okay. Now, the future of
19:44 foundation for sites right [snorts] so if you didn't know the foundation 6 stacks that we all use and love is built on the foundation framework which is an
19:54 open source project for website building. Now, um I haven't started development of it yet. Um although I've been taking copious notes and I have
20:05 ideas about it for years actually now on what version 7 will be. Um and uh I'm really excited about that. Hopefully by
20:14 the end of this year I should have something workable. I'm really excited about that. Um and I can't wait to bring it to stack six. Okay. Super excited
20:23 about that. Um it's going to be pretty cool stuff. All right, the third pillar is better site host. Now, this one is less than a year
20:32 old. I think I launched this in Octoberish. I don't remember the exact date uh when I when I launched or started accepting some beta users. Okay,
20:42 it was around the first of the year where I kind of started accepting almost anybody, right? So, um if you are looking for a new web hosting company, um check out Betterite Host. It is my
20:51 company. Um and yeah, people are loving it. Okay, they uh already 300 sites are built on it. Um servers are fast. The
21:00 websites that you put on it are fast. Um it has modern all the latest modern stuff. The fastest servers possible. I
21:08 only offer the fastest servers available. So um you can't get a cheap slow server on Betterite Host. You can only get the
21:18 best fast servers. That's it. It's all I offer. Okay. Um, and the management panel, obviously I'm a little bit biased. I
21:26 think it's second to none. I think it is the best website management panel that I've ever used. It does not use C panel. I hate cPanel. I think it is absolutely
21:36 horrific. Okay, so um yeah. Um the next is oh and I guess one one benefit for
21:45 both you and me if if you uh use better site host is that I'm the developer and the host and I say I I didn't think it
21:54 was going to impact um and make things better for not only you but me um is when I'm both. [laughter] It just makes
22:03 life so much easier rather than going back and forth of, "Hey, uh, tell your host this or uh, go to the server and look for this log file somewhere. I
22:12 don't know where your host puts it, but it's somewhere, right?" Um, yeah, I just go, "Hey, I I know. Let me go look." Boom. Done. Fixed. Right. Makes saves me
22:22 time, saves you time, saves everybody heartache. So, I think it's pretty awesome. So, uh, check out Betterite Host.host.com.
22:30 Um, ask people. There's a lot of people here that are hosting their websites on it. So, um, check it out. I think it's pretty cool. Okay. Now, that brings us
22:39 to the final pillar, right? [snorts and clears throat] Stacks. And that's where all of this started, right? That's where all of us
22:48 started. Hopefully Isaiah's here. I know he was in the chat earlier. Um, and yeah, I've been backing Isaiah for for
22:56 so many years, right? And I am all in on stacks. I absolutely love it. I think it is the best way, the most fun way to
23:06 build a website. It it allows me to produce absolutely immaculate code um that um search
23:14 engines love. Um it gives me ultimate control over exactly what I want. Um it gives me a user-friendly interface. Even
23:23 though I'm a developer, I prefer building a website with stacks because it allows me it gives me all the controls and it's just nice.
23:33 Okay. And yeah. Uh so where does where does this um all fit in? Now later I'm not going to steal any Isaiah's thunder,
23:43 okay? Um at the the last talk of today, he's going to give us a little preview, some status, uh a little demo of where stack 6 is. and I'm super stoked to see
23:53 it um and have you guys see it, right? Um because I'm excited for the future. Now, you might be thinking, well, like
24:02 that's all great, but I can't use stacks in a in a AI with AI right now. Like right now I can just fire up um
24:12 I can fire up my chat either quad or quad code or chat GPT or whatever and it could just create a web page for me,
24:22 right? And so is STAX obsolete? And it it definitely isn't. Okay. And um right now I'm going to show you a little bit
24:32 of a demo. So, something I've been working on um is pretty cool and I I'm excited to show this. Um so, let's give you a little bit
24:41 of a demo of something that's completely new. Um it is only available on my Mac at this time. Okay. But, um yeah, let's
24:50 go ahead and uh let's minimize this. Okay. So, I'm going to do a quasi real world demo. Okay. Um, so I have running
25:01 locally on my Mac a new MCP server. Um, that is a STAX MCP. Okay. Um, I guess I
25:09 should back up and um, give a quick rundown of what an MCP server is. I I I
25:18 probably should have done that because I've I mentioned that a few times. MCP server is basically MCP is a protocol that allows any chat agent aka Claude in
25:29 this instance. I'm using Claude right now. It allows it to communicate with my web server
25:37 and it allows it to query for data. So it's a standard way for um it's basically a language that allows AI agents to talk with your website to get
25:48 data. Okay, that is the the simplest uh answer that I can give on what an MCP is.
25:57 And if you're curious, it stands for model context protocol. Okay, but so it allows agents to talk to your website and pull and extract data down. Okay,
26:08 so here is a chat client. Let's focus just on this chat client. I have a pre-existing chat that I am just going to load. I'm not going to type live um
26:17 just to and actually this is a live chat that I was doing yesterday and you'll even see some mess ups that I did that I had to fix. Okay, but okay. So, you'll
26:26 see everything live uh or you know this was live uh last night and this morning a little bit. Okay, so first I asked I'm
26:35 looking for a good stack that could be used for a hero banner on my website and it said hey for a hero banner I have
26:43 all these cool options. Look, there's Impact, there's Eclipse, there's Vast, there's Wallpaper. Um, and it gave me information about each of them. Um, it
26:52 kind of gave me what it recommended. It said, "Hey, if uh Eclipse, give Eclipse a shot." Right? So, I said, "Oh, I've heard good things about Eclipse. Can you
27:00 help me set it up?" Hm. Help me set it up. So, it goes and said, "Yeah, Eclipse is great. Blah blah blah blah blah." Um, it
27:09 it then even asked me questions It was Claude has an interactive
27:17 question thing. So, it said, "Hey, what type of media do you want for the hero?" And I said, "Uh, and it gave me options ABC sort of thing." I said, "Oh, I just
27:25 want a single image." And, uh, do you, uh, where do you want the images to live? And I said, "All these images are going to be dropped into the project." Okay. And it says, "Hey, do you want a
27:34 dark overlay for text legibility?" I said, "Yes, I definitely want that." Pretty cool. Okay. So, it said, "Perfect." And then it gave me kind of a little rundown and it gave me an entire
27:45 synopsis of how I would implement that. Now, not only that, you'll notice that there's actually a URL right here. So,
27:53 I'm going to go ahead and click that. [snorts] And um the MCP server created this for me. And what this allows me to do is not
28:05 only did it tell me what stacks I would need to use. It created this interface that I can now just take this. Oh, I want an Eclipse hero container. Voila.
28:16 Oh, that's pretty cool. Oh, let me take this this image stack that it recommended. Let me go ahead and plop. Oh, there's that. Right. Pretty amazing
28:27 stuff, right? So, we now have an implementation kind of a little recipe here. Um, it pre-baked in the settings that I would need. Okay. So, it's not
28:38 just, you know, like dragging out a stack onto the page. It's actually customizing the settings based on the feedback that we did via chat.
28:47 Okay. Pretty awesome stuff, right? But we're not we're not done. Okay. I think that's pretty that's pretty amazing. Now, this is definitely
28:56 there's still some kinks and whatnot that there's a lot of things I need to work out here, okay? But, um, just kind of give you a a feel of where things are going. I think we can even make it
29:05 better than what you're seeing right now. And I think what's right now is pretty pretty awesome. Okay, so yeah, again, let let me let me show
29:14 you again. This web page was created by the MCP. Look, the website is mcp.weavers.local. It only exists on my machine. You don't need to try to go to it. Okay. Um, and
29:24 it just gives you a little interface to drag from the web page directly into stacks. All right. Now, hopefully that your your
29:33 brain is still in your in your head because that's like mindblowing right there, I feel, right? Pretty pretty cool stuff. Um, but let's continue on. Um,
29:44 now this is actually where I I ran into some issues where it actually my MCP server stopped running or whatnot. So I asked it, hey, can we build a grid of images that when you hover over them,
29:53 text animates, blah blah blah. And it said, oh, hey, I I can't connect. So it gave me some HTML. Um, and I said, hey, try, you know, then I fixed my MPCB
30:01 server and I said, try again. And it said, hey, and it works, right? Or [clears throat] actually, it didn't work and it couldn't connect again. And then I fixed it again. I you're seeing all
30:11 all the messups even though I'm replaying them all, right? Um, sweet. So then it said uh it finally uh finished
30:20 everything checks out. Um it actually oh further up here it actually recommended a popup caption. Okay. Um and uh yeah
30:28 pop-up caption 4. Um and then it created a little another little layout. So let's go ahead and click on this. I'm going to open that. So in here it says uh let's
30:38 just make this clean. Said okay cool. Here's a pop-up grid. We're just going to take that and I'm going to drag there. Boom. There's my pop-up grid with some customized settings um with a
30:48 pop-up item. And it said, "Okay, here's pop here." And they're going to add another one. And it kind of gives you a little step by step. And we're going to add another one, right? And you know, we
30:59 can customize things to what we want, right? Really, really, really awesome stuff here. And uh now it had given me actually two examples. Uh it gave me an example of
31:08 pop-up grid as an as an optional um way to build this. Uh, but it also gave me uh the ability to use foundation. So, um, now actually I have to admit I'm not
31:18 100% sure how this is going to look. I haven't even previewed this one yet. This was uh only about an hour or so ago. Um, I was planning around with this. So, I I wanted to create something
31:27 using Foundation 6 stacks and I haven't looked at this at all. So, we're going to see this live. Okay. So, we're going to go ahead and I'm going to open up this link. So, it said Okay, cool. So,
31:36 it said drag in a block grid. Okay, good. Done. Uh, and then it says, um, add a cell. Now, it actually didn't know it already has a cell in there, but then
31:45 it says, okay, inside, uh, inside cell one, drop this, uh, drop this link. So, we're going to drop that link. And
31:54 boom. So, it's got a link container. Oh, then it says we need uh we need another cell. Uh, oh, it's kind of going through and it's creating all three of those.
32:03 [snorts] Um, so it just created that three times. All right. And here, let's just do full width edit mode. Okay. And okay. Well,
32:14 it it it should have asked me to put in some some images in here, and it didn't. Okay. So, slightly failed. Okay. Um, like I said, I didn't even it didn't
32:23 even uh check this out, but it did know to use a block grid. It set up customized some of the settings. Um, it added it knew I needed to add a block grid cell and a link container. Um, oh,
32:33 and it says afterwards that you can use an F6 card. Um, and then it gave me some instructions on what I could do as next steps. And maybe I can then say, "Hey,
32:41 can you can you uh build out an example of what the F6 card would be um with animate on hover stack or swatch?" And
32:50 um yeah, so there we go. I don't want to take up a lot of the time, but I just kind of want to show you where I think the future of how AI and stacks can work
32:58 together. Okay. And this is again just the beginning. So, um it can be even tighter and better um going forward. So,
33:06 uh okay, back to the presentation. Where is my presentation? There it is. [snorts] All right, let's continue.
33:16 So, that is going to be stacks MCP. Now, um, as of right now, um, it does only know about, uh, Weaver Space Stacks, but
33:25 as I refine it and we make it pretty cool, um, it will definitely be available to it'll probably be part of made for stacks. So, if your stack is on
33:35 made forstacks.com, then, um, your stack will be a part of the MCP. So, that way you get to benefit from all the stacks
33:43 you have, not just Weaverpace stacks. Okay. Now, what's really awesome about this, okay, and why? Oops. Actually, let me let me just go back. Okay, you might
33:52 be thinking that's that's cool and all, but why how is this better than than stacks? Um,
34:10 sorry, my dogs are barking. Um, okay. So um why is this better than just
34:19 AI creating a web page for us? And the reason is because once AI generates the initial version, I can then go in here
34:28 and modify the settings and make little tweaks that the refinements that I need, right? Because if if AI is is creating
34:36 web pages for us and um you don't have control over what the code is and how the code's organized, I will tell you from experience that AI will create the
34:47 worst spaghetti. Eventually, it will turn into AI slop, okay? And your your website will be unmaintainable. It won't
34:58 be good for SEO. It will probably slow down. It's just going to add stuff on top of stuff, right? So, at this point, it's using um stacks that are hopefully
35:08 developed by known good developers that can ensure that the code that we're going to output is clean and good. [snorts] And it gives you the exact
35:17 precise controls that you need to make the modifications. Exactly what we were talking about earlier, how AI can really help us get to 80%. Right? And then we
35:26 take it over the finish line. This is exactly what that is. AI can help us rapidly get to the 80% and then we make
35:34 the refinements um to take the website over the finish line. So yeah, really excited about that.
35:46 Okay, so my my kicker is the web is moving and so are we, right? So, um,
35:55 yep, that's basically, uh, that's basically kind of it. Uh, you know, 10 years strong. We're we're still we're just getting started. AI is a powerful tool. Um, it's never going to replace
36:05 you as a web designer. Okay. Um, it is it's just another tool that we need to learn to use and embrace so that we can
36:13 um, you know, become better and also create new business opportunities as well. Like I said earlier with you know, AI is now a tool that you can then sell to your clients.
36:23 Okay. So, um yeah, I hope we have an amazing weekend. Uh we have 13 more talks after this one um over the next three days. Um
36:32 we have some just yeah, the best people in the community. Um and I'm really excited about that. Now, I haven't watched the chat at all. Um so, I'm sure
36:41 you guys have a lot of uh interesting stuff in the chat. So, let me go ahead and uh let me bring up the chat here. Uh let me stop my sharing.
36:50 All right. Um, oh, nothing in the chat. Let me see if there's any questions. Uh,
37:00 Q&A.
37:08 Franco says, "Martian tennis is Alcatraz versus Sinner." Yes.
37:22 Excellent. So, yeah, just a lot of people saying that that looks very promising. Um, super excited about that. I'm going to be refining that um that MCP server. Um, and yeah, keep watch out
37:31 for that over the next coming weeks on uh yeah, how that's going to pan out. Um, I'll probably give, you know, beta access or whatever. Um, I'll post it out
37:42 and eventually for right now it'll be probably on mcp.weaverspace. Um and then um as I refine it uh and you
37:52 know find all the issues that I did wrong uh once I once we get it right I'll move it over to made for stacks and then um I do want to completely rebuild
38:00 made for stacks as well using total CMS3. Oh actually you know what what's pretty cool here here's here's the kicker uh let me share my screen again.
38:11 All right. So, this entire uh MCP server, right? Um pretty cool, right? It it, you know, built out uh all of this stuff. Now, what's what's even more
38:21 mind-blowing is um this entire MCP server is created by
38:30 Total CMS3's MCP. So, um, this entire bot that I was using that was recommending my stacks, um, and giving
38:38 me, um, how to implement the stacks, it's all implemented by Total CMS3, right? Um, and just just to kind of give
38:47 you a peak behind the curtain, if we go into the drag snippets here, like here is that that Eclipse snippet that we saw earlier, right? It's all managed by
38:56 Total CMS3, right? Really amazing stuff. Here's the pop-up caption one. Here is a Foundation 6 image grid, right? So, all
39:05 of this data is processed and saved inside total CMS3. Um, really excited about that. Right. And what's kind of
39:14 cool is um these recipes, okay, for lack of a better term, we'll probably come up with a better better term than recipe, right? But these are all URLs that you
39:22 can save or share. Um, so yeah, really excited about that. I think that'll be really cool. Um, and I I've been talking to Isaiah about things that we can do to
39:30 make this even better. Okay. And um, yeah. Um, first we need to get get our hands on it and get get stack 6 shipped, but then we'll uh we definitely uh I
39:40 think this is definitely the path the direction we should be going. Um, and maybe even maybe some direct integrations with stack so that maybe you don't even need this inter
39:49 intermediary um, web page. But I think it's pretty cool. I think the web page gives us benefits because a I think that sharing um and the ability to save it
39:59 and and reaccess that particular layout or workflow. Um it's pretty interesting. So there we go. Um let me see if there are any other uh any
40:08 other questions. Looks awesome. Promising. Perfect. Okay. Okay guys, um 10:45 and uh just as
40:16 usual, we are going to take a quick break before our next talk at 11 a.m. Um super excited about that. We have Chris Powers talking about something that well
40:27 I don't want to steal a thunder. I'm really I'm really excited about it. Um and I think it's going to be a huge impact potentially to um a lot of you
40:35 guys that are building websites uh for people. So I think it could be the next uh a next big thing if you're willing to put in the work. So anyway um we're
40:44 going to take a quick 15minute break and uh we'll be back with uh Chris Powers.
