I've a thesis that how users use the internet will look and feel drastically different in the next few years. Rather than learning products (i.e., where is every button, what does each button do), we will be able to express intent on what we want to achieve, and apps / agents will inform us whether it's possible and when it's done.

I'm hosting a virtual hackathon with Windsurf based on this principle — one rule is DON'T build (traditional) UIs.

Date: June 21st, 8am PT

Location: virtual

Theme: One rule - don't build (traditional) UIs.

Focus

- What will the internet look like after traditional UI becomes obsolete?

- How will we provide context to agents and LLMs for personalization?

- What do generative digital experiences look and feel like — how does audio and video blend together to represent a post-UI internet?
