Netlify

We're proud to be partnering with HackBarna for the last Hack Night before summer. Prompt to production is exactly the gap we care about, so we're bringing a hands-on workshop on shipping a full-stack app with Netlify and Claude Code, plus open hack time to build your own idea. Barcelona builders, this one's for you! Thanks for having us, Nicolas.

What happens when the agent is the user? Your CLI was designed for human eyes. Your API docs were written for someone reading them. Your developer workflow assumes a person making sequential decisions. Agents don't work that way. They work in parallel, at machine speed, and they read your systems completely differently. Our CTO Dana Lawson calls this "agent experience," and it was the heart of her conversation with Simon Maple, Maximiliano Firtman, and James Moss at AI Native DevCon London. They also got into skills, WebMCP, whether the browser is going anywhere (it's not), and the uncomfortable truth about the GitHub workflow. The web isn't going away. How we build for it is changing faster than most of us are ready to admit.

People don’t get excited about infrastructure. They get excited about what they can build. In this clip, Domitrius Clark explains why the real story isn’t the implementation details. It’s the output. The ability to create things people didn’t realize were possible with Netlify. Many developers still think of Netlify as a platform for web apps. But with Agent Runners, background functions, and a growing set of platform primitives, the possibilities extend far beyond traditional websites.

This #HotAppSummer build is made for dark nights and good company. 🔥🌲 Inspired by a teammate's request, Dana built Campfire Tales: a horror-comedy story generator that spins a personalized spooky legend around you and a friend. Answer a few quick prompts, pick your monster and your ending, and get a freshly cursed tale to read aloud in the dark. Built on Netlify serverless and Anthropic Claude. Perfect for your next camping trip. What are you building today? Try it 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcbc6mWJ Join the challenge 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8ikcv6R

“Create me a dashboard about me.” That’s the prompt. The result? A live dashboard deployed on Netlify and a shareable link returned automatically. In this clip, Phanindra Reddy shows what happens when AI can do more than generate output. It can use tools, take action, and ship something real. 👇

Netlify is coming to Barcelona. 🎉 We're kicking off the Build with Netlify meetup series, and the very first one lands in Barcelona on June 30th, in collaboration with HackBarna and Happy Operators. AI can write code fast. Getting it live is still the hard part. At this hack night, you'll use your AI agent to build and deploy a full-stack app on Netlify, then dig into the primitives that take a project from prompt to production. Here's the plan: 🛠️ A 90-minute workshop with Netlify and Claude Code 🌐 Hands-on with functions, environment variables, and database 💡 90 minutes of open hack time to build your own idea 🏆 10,000 Netlify credits for the project with the most votes All experience levels welcome. Bring a laptop and an idea, we'll help with the rest. RSVP: https://luma.com/37ddi2n0

This #HotAppSummer build is gloriously simple. ☀️ Born from Dana's own Sunday "what do I even want to do" paralysis: So Bored is one button that gives you one answer. Press it, get told what to do, go do it. That's the whole app, and that's exactly why it works. Not every build needs to be complicated to be good. What are you making today?

This #HotAppSummer build is for every American who's stared at a thermostat reading 22 and had no idea whether to grab a coat. ☀️ Dana built Help, I'm Abroad: instant metric conversions plus country-by-country cheat sheets covering local etiquette, tipping, plugs, and phonetic phrases for the essentials (including, crucially, where the bathroom is). Genuinely useful, and a good laugh. What are you building today? Try it 👉 https://lnkd.in/gTEd3-kx Join the challenge 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8ikcv6R

This #HotAppSummer build is a love letter. ☀️ Our own UX Director, Sameera Kapila, built Kòrsou '26, a tribute to Curaçao's history-making World Cup debut. An island of 156,000 just became the smallest nation ever to qualify, and did it unbeaten. The site walks through the squad, the island, the Papiamentu language, and the culture behind the moment. It's detailed, heartfelt, and gorgeous. Exactly the kind of thing that happens when a great designer builds something they care about.

Week 2 of #HotAppSummer is in the books, and we have three more winners. ☀️ The challenge: ship an app a day in June, built on Netlify, and tag us. Two weeks in, the builds keep getting more creative, more useful, and more polished. Three stood out this week, and each is getting 3,000 Netlify credits. 🌼 Titanic by Misbah Syed — a meticulously detailed navigation sim that puts you at the helm of the RMS Titanic on its 1912 North Atlantic crossing, period instruments and all. A real feat of craft and atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/gEZ7UrUp 🌼 lilStack by David V. Kimball — point it at any website and it reveals what the site is built with: CMS, framework, hosting, backend, and marketing tech, with the evidence to back it up. https://lnkd.in/gkRqB5yu 🌼 Lindy Atlas by Ash — a tour of the businesses that have stood the test of time, the companies that have quietly outlasted centuries. Beautifully on theme for a challenge about what lasts. https://lnkd.in/gk2kbVaw Congratulations to all three! And if you've been watching from the sidelines: week 3 starts now. Ship daily, tag us, and you could be here next Friday. Start your streak 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8ikcv6R
