Hey everyone!

Excited to share Scene with you!

We spent hours investigating the intricacies of how people create websites.

We focussed primarily on collaboration: what it looks like when teammates with different areas of expertise work together to build a site. We did a deep dive into how designers and marketers work today, and how they envision working in the future.

AI will be a big part of that future. But AI is not here to replace the web design process. We know designers don't fully trust creations made entirely by AI—and why should they?

Instead, AI is here to lend a helping hand. It can help you get past the ‘blank canvas’ stage with suggestions, and level up your creative ideas.

We'd like your feedback on these two key areas:

Collab - Scene is designed to help team members work together, making it easier to share ideas, provide feedback, and iterate quickly. We’re eager to learn more about how you currently collaborate on projects.

Muse - Our AI tool isn’t just about automation; it’s about augmentation. We aim to complement your creativity, not replace it. How do you envision AI supporting your workflow?

This tool is not really relevant to my line of work, but I do wonder: Why is the AI (Muse) not named the same as the product (Scene)?

We wanted give it a name so that it felt like your companion, a friend you can rely on.

A deep dive might be better measured in days or weeks?

We've spent 6 months talking to:

- web designers - web devs - no-code devs

And basically, 99% of them were freelancer who did all aforementioned together.

Great, I suggest saying 6 months instead of unspecified hours.

The web is already bloated with SEO junk and megabytes of fonts and other stuff no one likes. I imagine AI will just make that process more enhanced and worse.

Ah, but imagine the level of compression made possible through the wonders of 'AI'. Instead of shipping over a few dozen megabytes in code to support all 'partners' and 'initiatives' and generally satisfy the urges of the worst offenders in the marketing department a web page now can be compressed down to a few lines, those being the prompt fed to the 'AI' in the browser:

Generate a web page showing an endless stream of photos and videos of extrovert people doing silly things with common utensils interspersed with a few similar images of cats. The page should contain 40% advertisements, 20% content and 40% empty space. Make sure to refer to the stored profile of the person viewing the page to tailor the content to keep her glued to the screen as long as possible, in case of emergency the use of real glue is allowed.
