Journal
- ClaudeBar: A Native macOS Menu Bar App for Claude Code Usage, No Terminal Required We wanted to see our Claude Code token usage at a glance without opening a terminal. An afternoon later we had ClaudeBar: a tiny SwiftUI menu bar app that parses Claude's local transcripts directly, shows live burn rate, and ranks every session by tokens used. Open source.

- We Got Fed Up With DeepL, So We Built a Double-Cmd+C Translator in 200 Lines of Lua DeepL on macOS is clunky, bloated, and wants you on a subscription. We replaced it with a single Hammerspoon script that pipes selected text through Claude. Open source, costs ~$0.0001 per translation, and the whole thing fits in one file. (2026-04-20, 6 min)
- The Displace Editing Experience: Inline CMS or Cursor, No Developer Required We stopped building on Webflow. Every Displace project now ships on Next.js with two self-service editing options: an inline CMS with boundary conditions, or AI-assisted editing via Cursor with full guardrails. Here is how it works and why we made the shift. (2026-04-05, 11 min)
- 3 Open-Source Tools We Built for Claude Code (And Why We Released Them) We built three developer tools to make Claude Code faster, cheaper, and easier to manage. All open-source on GitHub. Here's why we built them and how they work. (2026-04-02, 10 min)
- We Built a Free Tool to Export X/Twitter Bookmarks (Because the API Costs $200/Month) X charges $200/month for API access to your own bookmarks. We built x-bookmarks-exporter as an open-source Node.js alternative. No API key needed. Here's the technical story. (2026-03-30, 7 min)
- FocusGuard: We Built a macOS Website Blocker That Can't Be Bypassed Most website blockers are easy to uninstall. FocusGuard runs as a macOS LaunchDaemon with 8 anti-bypass layers including immutable file protection and escalating delays. Open source on GitHub. (2026-03-28, 8 min)
- Headless Shopify vs Shopify Themes: When to Choose Each (With Real Performance Data) We've built both headless and theme-based Shopify stores. Lighthouse 42 to 96. Here's the honest comparison with real performance data, timelines, and cost breakdowns from actual projects. (2026-03-22, 11 min)

About
About Displace
Displace is a premium web agency operating from Madrid and Miami, founded by Santiago Lobo van Wersch.
We design and build websites for venture capital firms, ecommerce brands and technology companies. Headless architectures, obsessive performance, and design that earns trust in the first five seconds.
Most agencies hand you a template and a monthly invoice. We hand you a product: fast, measurable, and built to be iterated on every single week.
What we believe
· Speed is a feature. Every site we ship targets Lighthouse scores above 95.
· Analytics or it did not happen. Every project gets proper tracking from day one.
· Weekly shipping beats quarterly redesigns.
· A website is never finished, only abandoned. We do not abandon.
How we work
1. Discovery
A short call, a deep questionnaire, and a study of your market. We figure out what the site must achieve before we touch a pixel.
2. Design
Design direction in days, not months. We move in working software as early as possible, because static mockups lie.
3. Build
Modern stack: Next.js, headless Shopify or a headless CMS, deployed on Vercel. Tracking, SEO and accessibility are built in, not bolted on.
4. Ship and iterate
Launch is the starting line. Weekly reports, continuous optimization, and a partner who answers the same day.
Services

· Headless Shopify ecommerce

Questions we always get
How do we start a project with Displace?
Write to hello@displace.agency or book a free 30 minute call at cal.com/displace/30-min-meeting. We reply within one business day with next steps and a short discovery questionnaire.
What does Displace Agency build?
Custom websites and web platforms: marketing sites, headless Shopify ecommerce, branding and visual identity, SEO and AI search visibility, plus analytics and weekly reporting. Most builds run on Next.js, Supabase and Vercel.
How long does a website take?
Most projects ship in 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope. We move in working software from the first week instead of spending months in mockups.
Who owns the code and the website?
You do. Upon full payment, clients receive complete ownership of all source code, documentation and deliverables. We keep the right to show the work in our portfolio unless agreed otherwise.
How do you report progress and results?
Every project gets proper analytics from day one and a weekly report covering traffic, search performance and the changes we shipped. Launch is the starting line, not the finish.
Where is Displace Agency located?
We operate from Madrid and Miami and work with clients worldwide. Most communication is async with a call when it actually helps.
Why does this website look like a Mac?
Because portfolios are boring and we wanted you to stay a while.
Everything here actually works. Drag the windows. Open the Terminal and type help. Lower the brightness from Control Center. Put some music on while you browse the work.
It is also a demo of what we mean by craft: 60fps interactions, instant loads, and details nobody asked for but everyone notices.
If you find all the easter eggs, mention it in your email. We will knock something off the invoice.
