Formspree vs Formgrid in 2026: Which One Actually Helps You Win Customers?
Formspree is one of the most popular form backends for static sites, and it deserves that reputation. It is reliable, well-documented, and easy to set up.

Stop feeding raw HTML to your LLMs (Solving the Agentic Token Tax)
If you are building autonomous AI agents that interact with the web, you have almost certainly hit the same architectural wall we did: The Token Tax.

An agent needs context from a webpage, so the developer uses a standard HTTP scraper to pull the DOM, maybe converts it to markdown, and dumps the entire thing into the LLM's context window.

A rack of them? You're looking at tens of kilowatts. Scale that to a hyperscale training cluster, and you're competing with small cities for electricity. That's not a hypothetical. It's already reshaping where data centers get
