About this video

Pontus Abrahamsson had a crazy idea on his flight to France.

And as soon as he landed he called his co-founder and said, "we need to build a directory." So they bought the domain, built the app in 3 hours, posted it, and it went super viral.

This video breaks down why directories still work in 2025 and how to design beautiful websites with AI.
