Should I redesign my site like it’s 1999? Blue links, iFrames, 3D buttons? Or more “2025 neo-brutalist startup founder vibes”? 🤔 Vote 👇 retro / brutalism / gradients / glass / MD3 / keep it cursed

I’ve rebuilt user invites for multi-tenant SaaS way too many times. So I finally fixed it. Meet Invite-API — a drop-in way to invite users, manage roles, handle expirations & join companies. #SaaS #software #API #webdev #developers #auth #startup 👉 https://t.co/uv4vcdSfBy

I wanted to change brightness of my Enki light bulb. But it occured the app logged me out. Now I need to reset the password I don't remember and go all of this trouble to change the brightness. It will be easier to throw out Enki lightbulb and buy a regular bulb.
