This launch video looks like one of those shady, fly by night Ads you see on YouTube at 3am. I don't understand what they are selling and the graphics are nuts. Delve, Paxel, Unlayer. Garry, stop fucking around with politics and fix YC!

Hey Rafiat, fair question 😅 Unlayer was actually part of YC's Winter 2022 batch. This launch is really about sharing the next chapter of the product and what the team has been building towards over the past few months: AI-powered content creation, AI workflows, embeddable builders, templates, exports, and APIs that help software teams bring content creation directly into their products.

So it looks like this was funded in 2022 by YC and it’s been a fucking disaster since. YC reposted that video because I guess they felt like they had to? Sometimes you just have to call it quits and move on. Unlayer hasn’t learned this yet

AI will need more than better prompts and better models. It will need shared formats, editable outputs, review interfaces, export pipelines, and workflows that humans and agents can both operate on. That is how we think about Unlayer: a visual builder for people, an action layer for AI agents, and a shared content layer underneath both.

I’m excited to share that I have joined @unlayerapp as their Growth Lead! Unlayer helps developers embed AI-powered content creation directly into their products. Today, the platform powers 1,000 customers, including teams at Netflix, Fidelity, Bank of America, Mastercard, and many others. What drew me to Unlayer is where content creation inside software is heading. Every product will need two interfaces: • A visual builder for people • An action layer for AI agents The companies that win will be the ones that seamlessly connect both. That’s exactly what Unlayer is building: the infrastructure layer that enables humans and AI to create content together, directly inside the products they already use. Looking forward to helping drive adoption, supporting developers, and contributing to the next phase of growth. Let’s build.

Unlayer launches on Y Combinator as AI-powered content creation infrastructure for apps

We're launching Unlayer on @ycombinator today. I'm really proud of what we've been building.

Most teams underestimate how much work goes into "just adding an editor." It quickly becomes builders, templates, rendering, permissions, storage, personalization, and now AI. That’s what we’re solving with Unlayer. Excited to launch on @ycombinator today 🚀

We think the future of content creation inside software has two interfaces: A visual builder for people. An action layer for AI agents. Unlayer is building the infrastructure layer that connects both. Would love your support on our YC launch 👇 ycombinator.com/launches/QkK…

Unlayer gives developers the building blocks to add AI-powered content creation into their products. Your users can create emails, pages, popups, and documents visually. Your AI agents can generate, edit, personalize, translate, and export content through APIs and workflows.

Most products eventually need users to create content. Emails. Pages. Documents. Templates. PDFs. What starts as "just add an editor" quickly becomes a full content creation stack. Today we’re launching Unlayer on @ycombinator: AI-powered content creation infrastructure for apps. Watch the video and upvote us here 👇 ycombinator.com/launches/QkK…

Comparison of Stripo alternatives, Beefree, Chamaileon, Unlayer, Topol, and yes, Maiilo. Honest pros/cons, current pricing. maiilo.io/blog/best-stripo-a…

Builders are rolling out practical tools today. Someone launched an open-source email builder to replace Beefree and Unlayer. The focus is on cutting out recurring costs with homegrown, flexible options.

The five-second epistemology of the question. Four questions. Each one the series. Why did oil prices increase despite the release. Why does the Navy need to escort if the navy is destroyed. Will destroying Kharg cut off revenue. Are Iranians mining the Strait. Four questions from Alhajji. The man who’s been reading the Strait while the briefing reads the chart. Four questions that shouldn’t need asking if the briefing were true. Four questions that exist because the spreadsheet and the Strait are in different rooms and someone finally noticed. Why did oil prices increase despite the release. Because the reserve isn’t a Strait. Because 400 million barrels released into a market that can’t absorb them because the problem isn’t barrels it’s the water the barrels can’t cross. Because the Strait eats reserves the way the Strait eats spreadsheets. Because the plenty was always plenty and the plenty was never the problem. The first piece wrote this. Alhajji is still asking it. The answer hasn’t changed. The Strait hasn’t changed. The question and the answer and the Strait all in the same place they were on day one. Why would the Navy escort if the navy is destroyed. Because the destroyed navy still controls the Strait. Because sixty ships sunk and Kharg is loading tankers. Because ninety vessels destroyed and the IRGC is running the checkpoint. Because the obliteration didn’t obliterate the need. Because the chart that says destroyed and the water that says escort needed are measuring different wars. The question that the briefing can’t survive. The question that kills the slide deck. Will destroying Kharg cut off revenue. Iran is exporting more oil through the Strait than before the war. The toll booth operator waves himself through. The country that closed the Strait using the Strait. The revenue flowing through the chokepoint the war created. Destroy Kharg and the oil stops and the leverage stops and the reconstruction costs start and the war that was supposed to be short-term just became a permanent occupation of an island. The question that answers itself with another question. Are Iranians mining the Strait. The Navy refuses near-daily escort requests because the risk is too high. Thirty minelayers destroyed and the mines are in the water. The minelayer that laid the mine before the minelayer was destroyed. The destroying of the layer that doesn’t unlayer the mine. The mine that doesn’t care that the ship that laid it is sunk. The mine in the water and the question on the screen and the Strait between them not answering questions. The Strait just sitting there. Mined. While the questions pile up on the shore with the spreadsheets and the slides and the charts and the memoirs and the graphics and the tweets and the yet.

The five-second epistemology of the slide deck. Operation Epic Fury. The name on the graphic. The font that says action movie. The CENTCOM eagle on the gray background. Four slides. As of March 12, 2026. The war as a deck. The deck as a product. The product launched at 1:15 AM on February 28 and now in its thirteenth slide update the way a startup is in its thirteenth sprint. 6,000 targets struck. Up from 5,500. The number going up the way numbers go up on slide decks. Ninety vessels damaged or destroyed. Sixty ships. Thirty minelayers. The minelayers destroyed and the mines still in the water. The minelayers that laid the mines before the minelayers were destroyed. The destroying of the layer that doesn’t unlayer the mine. The slide that counts the ship and not the mine the ship already laid. U.S. Assets Employed. Two columns. Thirty-four line items. B-1 Bombers. B-2 Stealth Bombers. B-52 Bombers. F-15s. F-16s. F-18s. F-22s. F-35s. A-10s. Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Guided-missile destroyers. And special capabilities we can’t list here. The list that ends with a wink. Thirty-four weapons systems and a wink and the Strait is closed and the Navy refuses near-daily escort requests and Iran is loading tankers at Kharg. Thirty-four line items and a wink and the toll booth operator waves himself through. Types of Targets. Fourteen categories. Command and control centers. IRGC headquarters. Intelligence sites. Air defense systems. Ballistic missile sites. Navy ships and submarines. Anti-ship missile sites. Weapons production facilities. Minelaying ships, factories, and warehouses. Fourteen categories of things destroyed. The Strait not a category. The Strait not on any slide. The Strait the thing all fourteen categories were destroyed to open and the Strait still closed after all fourteen categories and the slide deck doesn’t have a fifteenth category called the Strait because the Strait isn’t a target. The Strait is the test. And the test doesn’t care about the deck. The slide deck and the Strait. The deck that gets updated every day. The Strait that doesn’t get more open every day. The numbers going up on the slides. The tanker staying parked in the Gulf. The deck winning the deck. The Strait winning the war. As of March 12, 2026. Thirteen days. Four slides. 6,000 targets. Thirty-four weapons systems. And a wink. And the Strait.
