What is Abduzeedo?

Abduzeedo isn't shipping software — it's a design showcase, and this feed is its post stream.

All six entries are editorial posts published within nine hours of each other: a retro display-font specimen, cosmetic packaging for a skincare brand, a furniture brand identity, an event identity built around Didone type, a sports rebrand for a broadcaster, and a retrospective on Anime.js reaching ten years. There is no product, no version and no release anywhere in the feed.

What is Octopus.do?

Octopus.do spends October on the canvas: compact layout, statuses, sticky notes, arrow labels.

Octopus.do is a sitemap and content-planning tool that became agent-operable in August through ChatGPT and Claude apps, an MCP server and a REST API. September added team features; since mid-October it has shipped canvas work: a Compact layout for large sitemaps, project statuses, sticky notes that move with pages, and labels on arrows.

Abduzeedo vs Octopus.do: editorial side-by-side

A
Abduzeedo
DESIGN
5.0

Abduzeedo isn't shipping software — it's a design showcase, and this feed is its post stream.

◆ Current state

All six entries are editorial posts published within nine hours of each other: a retro display-font specimen, cosmetic packaging for a skincare brand, a furniture brand identity, an event identity built around Didone type, a sports rebrand for a broadcaster, and a retrospective on Anime.js reaching ten years. There is no product, no version and no release anywhere in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

The publishing rhythm — several posts a day, each a short write-up of someone else's design work — is that of a design-industry publication, not a software changelog. Its useful signal is what the design community is looking at, not where a product is heading, and its high post cadence will inflate any velocity read that assumes entries mean releases.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same multi-post daily editorial cadence to continue. These entries contain no product roadmap to predict from.

O5.0

Octopus.do spends October on the canvas: compact layout, statuses, sticky notes, arrow labels.

◆ Current state

Octopus.do is a sitemap and content-planning tool that became agent-operable in August through ChatGPT and Claude apps, an MCP server and a REST API. September added team features; since mid-October it has shipped canvas work: a Compact layout for large sitemaps, project statuses, sticky notes that move with pages, and labels on arrows.

◆ Where it's heading

After the agent integrations and team layer, the product is refining the sitemap itself as a review artifact that clients and teams can annotate and approve. The releases are small and steady, roughly weekly.

◆ Prediction

Expect more review-workflow features such as approvals or status-based filtering; the entries don't show new agent or MCP work since August.
