24 alternatives to Build your own no-code editor with Reka.js
Much of the complexity surrounding building no-code editors come from architecting the state management system to power such editors: how can we allow end-users to create and edit entire UI components directly from the browser? Reka solves this by providing an AST-powered state system that enables end-users to create UI components that are nearly as complex as ones that developers could write in code; along with an interpreter to efficiently compute an output that could be rendered on the browser. Furthermore, Reka provides additional extensions, such as enabling real-time collaboration via…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

GrapesJS▲163I’ve been working with @artf (creator of GrapesJS) on Grapes Studio, an HTML-first editor with an LLM assistant on top of GrapesJS. We’re approaching this differently than the new wave of AI app/site builders which are typically generating full React applications, which we think is overkill for simple websites. From talking to people using these tools, we’ve seen a lot of issues with build errors and overly complicated pages. With our approach you can: - Edit visually via the no-code editor (drag/drop) or ask the LLM to make scoped changes (like “add a section” or “add a new…

Hi all, I'm currently working on my hobby project, and one of the fun constraints I put in was to build using as less dependencies as possible. I chose Go as it has a really good standard library, and all went well for building backend. But for frontend, I was wondering whether I should break the constraint and go for React. I tried options like Web Components, but I really didn't like the ergonomics and I didn't want to use jQuery either. Out of curiosity, I was exploring Go's html/template package to see if I can write UIs in a React-like manner. I found most of the online docs using…

Hey guys! I’ve been working on a web app called CodeCafé—a collaborative, browser-based code editor inspired by VS Code and Replit, but with no downloads, no sign-up, and zero setup. You just open the link and start coding—together. The frontend is built with React and TypeScript, and the backend runs on Java with Spring Boot, which handles real-time editing via WebSockets. For syncing changes, I’m using Redis along with a custom Operational Transformation system (no third-party libraries!!!). The idea came after I found out a local summer school was teaching coding using Google Docs (yes,…

Author here. This is an attempt to simplify frontend development: 1. Standards first: User interfaces should be assembled with HTML, styled with CSS, and enhanced with JavaScript. 2. Less abstractions: UI composition should be easy and require as few idioms and abstractions as possible, both on client and server. 3. Design Systems: Design should be a separate subsystem, easily accessible for developers who care about and understand design. 4. Scalability: Complex UIs should retain simplicity as the application grows. Eager to hear your thoughts!

I built a web-based HTML/CSS/JS editor focused on speed, simplicity, and offline access. No bloat — just open and start coding. What makes it different: Live Preview – Edit HTML, CSS, and JS side-by-side with instant feedback. Offline support – Works without internet. You can even install it as a PWA and use it like a native app. No Login Required – Just visit, code, and preview. Login only if you want to save/share. Savable & Shareable Links – Save scripts in the cloud and get shareable links. Customizable Editor – Themes, fonts, auto-format on save, layout tweaks, line…

When the startup I was working for shut down, I knew it would probably be a while before my health allowed me to commit to a new role, so I decided to start working on some personal projects to keep my mind active and engaged. With AI-augmented VS Code forks being all the rage at the time, I wanted to take a slightly different angle on a code editor/viewer using the same core technology. That led me to building Tachi Code, a Monaco-based code editor that integrates directly into your browser as an extension to streamline your more ephemeral coding tasks, so you can spend less time…

Hello HN ! There’s been a lot of discussions [1,2] on how to build ReBAC [3] with Zanzibar and policy-as-code engines, but we (Permit) also think it’s important to talk about the interfaces on top of these implementations. We just launched a No-Code ReBAC interface - would love to know what you think. besides marrying the benefits of Policy as Code and Policy as Graph, the idea here is to create simple enough interfaces that everyone can use, so developers can set the stage and delegate the rest to others. We used Role-derivation as a concept to simplify a lot of the mechanics what should we…

Hey HN, I wanted to share a UI toolkit project I’ve been working on recently, born out of how difficult I found it to build a great UX on top of LLMs, and keep application state in sync. I’ve built: - A React/JS front-end library for conversational interfaces, which makes it super easy to bootstrap AI assistants and ChatGPT style UX: https://github.com/nlkitai/nlux - A set of adapters that simplify integration with AI backends such as LangServe and HuggingFace The library is highly configurable, easy to theme, supports markdown streaming (that was tough to get…

Hey HN! I've been serially building AI projects for over a year, and building node + js SaaS products for over 10 years with my partner. We decided to combine everything we know about AI with our node best-practices into a code boilerplate and see if it can help anyone else! We've had a bunch of positive feedback already from early-users, and at least two SaaS products being developed right now with StartKit.AI as their base. Here's what you get! → Pre-built modules for all common AI tasks: - Chat! Everything to build a ChatGPT clone or your own chatbot. With best-practice implementations of…

Hi HN! I'm Matt, founder of Frontend Mentor (https://www.frontendmentor.io). We provide front-end and full-stack coding challenges with professional Figma designs, enabling developers to build real projects and grow their skills. The problem: AI coding tools are great, but they can work against you when you're learning. Ask Copilot or Cursor to help with a beginner project, and they'll happily write the whole thing for you. You ship the project, but you didn't really learn anything. What we did: We added AGENTS.md (and CLAUDE.md) files to every challenge's starter code. These files…

Hi all! Here is my open-source side-project. It is a browser extension that lets you click on a component on your localhost to get to its code in your editor. It works with React, Svelte, SolidJS, Preact, and Vue components and with VSCode, Webstorm, or any other editor that supports URL protocol links. It can be used also as JavaScript library (instead of installing browser extension) It speeds up my web development so much that I can't work without that anymore :D Let me know if you like it or if you would like to improve it somehow. Contributions are welcomed…

Nov 2024, I started a company in India. re built again from scratch in past five months. Have a look! Also this is product page www.ui-editor.com You can have a look on product page as well. Feedbacks on both project and page is welcomed. Feedbacks, next steps, details on documentation or tutorials for such projects all welcomed.
