This is super cool but I feel like I could just build this myself with an LLM agent, so I get worried about the value proposition for services that try to charge for this. I guess really what you're paying for is some time saving and so that you don't have to burn your own tokens to build it?

As far as I can tell, this isn’t a product, and the page has a prompt to have your own coding agent generate these. Stepshots is a bigger product that offers interactive demos, which the page contrasts with these.

Well you could have your LLM just generate that prompt then couldn't you?

Sure, but the prompt he’s sharing seems useful, and you can just copy paste it off the page. Not sure what your point is…

I was supporing this:

Also, there's a Pricing page, so yeah.

The pricing page is for a larger product. This little looping html thing is just a little free thing the guy is giving away, in the form of a prompt so your agent can build it for you.

so there is a product and we're back to "I could just build this myself with an LLM agent, so I get worried about the value proposition for services that try to charge for this".

facepalm

Excellent trolling, hats off to you!
