Submissions for the WebMCP Challenge close tomorrow at 5 p.m. PT. If you are still deciding what to build, five demo apps are linked in the replies. Each one registers real tools that an agent can call, and every one of them still works as an ordinary website.

Join the waitlist → flash.tldraw.com/waitlist We’re launching tldraw flash, a new way to animate hand‑drawn ideas on the infinite canvas.
Draw a shape, press record, then drag to perform the motion. Trim clips on the timeline, export, and remix. 
Today at noon ET, an idea that currently exists only in someone's head becomes a deployed app in under an hour. JJ Englert and KP are doing it live with Claude and Netlify, with nothing prepared beforehand.

it's good, you should read it
I wrote about trying (and failing) to let ai write for me
title is a riff on @henrikkarlsson.bsky.social's henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/search-query i'm not an llm internals guy but that seems both reasonable and also something that feels like it should require a much smaller model than the off-the-shelf stuff?
my favorite bogus security report goes like "your application does X. and mind you, it does it correctly. but if it _didn't_ do it correctly, that'd be a security problem!"
Petros Hong from Apify stopped by the Netlify booth to share what he's been building. Among his projects is a job platform that's helped more than 1,000 people find work. He also shared why he keeps choosing Netlify as he launches and grows new sites.
