We're a two-person team where both founders write code, but our time is almost entirely absorbed by the core product... The iOS app, the agent engine, the API. The marketing site couldn't become a weeks-long project.
v0 let us go from "we need a site" to basementbrowser.com in a fraction of the time it would've taken to build from scratch. We'd describe a section, add an in-house design as visual reference/guide, iterate on the output, and it consistently produced clean, production-ready React/Tailwind that we could actually work with not slop we'd have to rewrite (it's actually in our monorepo too 👀)
The output drops into our Next.js monorepo without a fight. For founders who know how to code but can't afford to spend 3 days pixel-pushing a hero section, it's the right tool. We shipped a site we're genuinely proud of and moved on. Check it out at basementbrowser.com

Honestly, it came down to how clean the API is for agentic workflows. Basement's AI agents (Baselings) send emails autonomously on behalf of users, outreach, price alerts, deal notifications. So we needed an email provider that felt built for code, not for marketers clicking around a dashboard.
Resend's API is so straightforward that plugging it into our agent tool suite took maybe 20 minutes. No wrestling with SMTP configs, no convoluted SDKs. When your AI agent needs to fire off an email as part of a multi-step autonomous task, the last thing you want is friction at the email layer. Resend just gets out of the way.
Also the DX is genuinely great. the logs, the dashboard, React Email support. For a two-person team shipping fast, that stuff matters. Not to mention how open they are to feedback and supporting us.
