Indie founder rebuilds startup site in 3 days with AI: Sol does grunt work, human directs

The founder of Alertly shares a 3-day website redesign: the old card-driven site looked too "indie hacker" for the new customer profile. Process: Gravity Supernova as the codebase template (you can't just throw prompts at AI and expect maintainable architecture); lots of research and mood-boarding; implementation by Sol 5.6—Ultra for detailed planning, high mode for grunt work; a full SEO audit with Sol before launch to ensure zero regression. He stresses it wasn't one-shot: with 20+ years of design experience, he directed everything while AI handled implementation, letting him ship faster.
