Whatever their secret sauce is (model, system prompt, or harness), v0 creates some of the most beautiful designs and mockups when I ask it to. And it looks really polished.
Even better than anything I’ve seen from Claude Code.
So I use it a lot for inspiration for screens and even have used it for proposals.
I'm a huge fan of Postico. It does the one thing I need (DB data exploration and editing) and does it well.
What I really miss in DB Tooling is something like SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare from Red Gate. It used to work with SQL server, and would compare two databases and produce "diff" SQL statements to get from one to the other.
It was awesome for deployments. Most frameworks handle DDL via migrations, and that works well, but one-time data migrations that are tested in QA and should be pushed live... I've never found a better workflow apart from generating one-time scripts. Now with AI that's easier, but until recently, it wasn't.
Not sure if that's the plan for this app eventually, but I sorely miss it, wasn't sure if others felt the same.
Google has poured untold millions into open source over the last couple of decades, not just by sponsorships, but also by employing contributors, etc.
I don't think that'll change with AI. They just needed to be reminded about the financials of Tailwind and I'm sure it was an easy conversation internally.

And Google has profited untold hundreds of billions of open source over the last couple of decades. They just need to be reminded of it.
Edit: Haha, getting downvoted! Never underestimate the power of tens of thousands of Googlers on HN... Look, I use Gmail, Google maps, Chrome and Android and occasionally Google search but without Linux, Java and webkit it wouldn't exist.
So if you subtract linux and LLVM and Webkit and Java, what is left of Google? Absolutely nothing. Well, a mostly empty, dysfunctional mono repo lacking the main dependencies.
I think you are getting downvoted because your claim that “without Linux, Java and webkit it wouldn't exist” doesn’t pass the smell test. If Linux didn’t exist, maybe Google will just use one of the BSDs. If Java didn’t exist perhaps Google would just write more code in C++ instead; I’m pretty sure it still has more lines of C++ than Java. Or maybe Go would get invented a few years earlier. And if WebKit didn’t exist maybe Google would just fork KHTML themselves rather than forking a fork of KHTML. A lot of open source software appeared at the right time to be dominant, but without them other different open source software might dominate. But your argument isn’t about what if the entire OSS movement didn’t exist. It’s about what if specific OSS didn’t exist.
And what's your point? When interests align, what's there to complain about?
I'm not, nor have I ever been, a googler, btw. I did apply for a job there in 2006 but didn't make it past the first round (they were asking me obscure TCP/IP questions for a Java developer).
They created V8, kickstarted the modern browser wars with Chrome. They've sponsored tons of Open Source projects via Google Summer of Code. They've done more than their fair share. Half the devops stuff like Kubernetes, probably a lot of the early work related to linux containers, who knows what else.
There is always going to be someone who thinks they can do more. But they didn't have to do _any_ of it. Yet they did a ton.
I fear the same thing but then people that know more about this say that these GLP-1 drugs have been used for many years (by diabetics) so they aren't untested or un-studied.
Literally from the Wikipedia article: “In 2002, Eli Lilly partnered with Amylin to develop exenatide and secure approval to market the drug. Exenatide's 2005 approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration showed that targeting the GLP-1 receptor was a viable strategy and inspired other pharmaceutical companies to focus on that receptor” [1].
This is a somewhat useful filter for actual consumers but here we are also looking at large scale fraud. The article mentions opponents using rotating IP addresses and high volumes of refund requests to try to overwhelm counter-fraud measures.
Most people still haven’t heard of Anthropic/Claude.
(For the record, I use Claude code all day long. But it’s still pretty niche outside of programming.)
