I've always found traditional visual HTML editors frustrating because they force you into rigid grid systems. To solve this, I spent the last 1,800 hours building HtmlDrag ( https://htmldrag.com/). It's a "freeform" editor that feels more like Figma or Photoshop but outputs production-ready HTML. Key Features: True Drag-and-Drop: Move elements anywhere on the canvas without grid constraints. URL Import: Import any live website via URL and edit its layout visually. Clean Code Export: No proprietary tags, just clean HTML/CSS.
In the past, bringing that idea to life required capital, a team, and time. Today, it requires a laptop and a collection of AI tools. With AI filling the gaps, a working prototype can be vibe coded in weeks, if not hours. The product is tested, refined, and launched, and for a brief moment it appears successful. Then reality intervenes. Within months, near-identical products emerge, copied and shipped at machine speed.
Handling product and design together in my last job was a relentless game. At the point I got laid off, I was juggling five work streams at once. Without a dedicated engineering team and no designer other than myself, I was scoping, researching, analyzing data, designing, writing tickets, running alignment meetings, reviewing builds, and resourcing in relentless two-week cycles... for multiple projects. By this point, I wore the reality-altering (or "reality-checking") hat that saw design merely as one of many tasks to get through.
US Army soldiers are tearing apart drones, printing out new parts, and flying their own creations into live-fire drills - a crash-course in the messy, fast-paced world of drone warfare. The Army has launched a sweeping push to weave drones into combat across the force. For now, that work can look improvised and experimental, with soldiers moving quickly and sharing feedback as they go. In line with the Army's significant transformation initiative, over the past nine months, the Bayonet Innovation Team of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, part of the Army's Southern European Task Force, Africa, has been building, flying, and reconfiguring drones. In exercises in Lithuania, Tunisia, and Germany, the brigade used first-person view drones to strike static and moving targets, 3D-printed parts to test new designs, and artificial intelligence-enabled software to refine tactics.
