24 alternatives to Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps
Hey Hacker News! Launching gptengineer.app into beta today. It's like Claude Artifacts, but: - you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync) - installs npm packages - automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them - very fast, built with rust The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user) The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36422730 Would love feedback if you give…

Hello Hacker News community, Wanted to share a project I started working on during my spare time and was then discovered by many in the open source community last week. GPT Engineer’s mission: Be the open platform for devs to tinker with and build their personal code-generation toolbox. I believe it's key for us devs to engage in how building software can and will change. You can find more info about the flexible technical "philosophy" to make it work well, and the community we want it to become on github: https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer The project is still in…

gptengineer.app lets you prototype, deploy and iterate on web apps using plain english. Here is a video of how I use it: https://www.loom.com/share/abda1d8e33134d0e944297afd3a51664 We designed it around the principles: 1. Leverage LLMs where they work best: LLMs are faster than humans at putting together prototypes of a few hundred lines of code. By using them early on, and give high level change request commands when the project is small, and then let human devs take over, it’s a productivity boost. 2. non-technical + programmer collaboration: All changes from the app is…

Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

display.dev▲183Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together. What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and…

YourGPT 2.0▲215Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

Hey hacker news, we launched a few weeks ago as a GPT-powered chatbot for developer docs, and quickly realized that the value of what we’re doing isn’t the chatbot itself. Rather, it’s the time we save developers by automating the extraction of data from their SaaS tools (Github, Zendesk, Salesforce, etc) and helping transform it to contextually relevant chunks that fit into GPT’s context window. A lot of companies are building prototypes with GPT right now and they’re all using some combination of Langchain/Llama Index + Weaviate/Pinecone + GPT3.5/GPT4 as their stack for…

Hi all, I’m hacking on new features for the ClickHouse native client and wanted the same “just call the model” ergonomics JavaScript and Python now enjoy. It didn’t exist for modern C++, so I wrote one. ai‑sdk‑cpp (Apache‑2.0) gives you: - Unified calls to OpenAI (GPT‑4o) and Anthropic (Claude 3.5) with a single C++20 API. - Streaming, multi‑turn chat, error handling—all std::optional/std::variant, no macros. - Tool calling (function‑calling) so the model can hit real APIs; sync or async, runs in parallel. The tricky bit: C++ still lacks real reflection, so mapping plain functions →…

Hi everyone, We built a quick experiment this weekend that allows you to use GPT4 to quickly generate shareable web apps that use the ChatGPT API. Here’s a video of me building an app similar to https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpvGd21V0u0 "What does this code do?" went to #1 on Hacker News a couple of months ago. The app takes a piece of code, asks GPT4 to analyze it and returns a simple, English description of the code. An app like this is super simple to build with MetaGPT. What other kinds of things can you build with this? *…

Bindly▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

This started out as an experiment - we were interested if, given a short description in plain English, GPT can generate a functioning full-stack web app in React & Node.js.

Claude Code is amazing for individuals but terrible for teams. I spent the last six months building my perfect mix of MCP servers, subagents, commands and skills. Claude Code writes 100% of the code now, but sharing this with my team? Painful. 1. Blog posts and workshops don't work (and don't scale) 2. Committing tools to N repos means N PRs. A tool changes? N more PRs. 3. Same tools, different files or folders for each AI assistant; not everyone uses Claude Code It is like 1999 all over again; FTPing files up to prod and versioning with ".bak" suffixes. So I built sx. It is your team's…

Hey guys, I’ve been playing around with this prototype for a way to build games using GPT. Some details: - It’s an absolute hack right now; expect bugs and user unfriendliness. Also UI is not fixed for mobile yet (use desktop). - It’s top-down, 2d. You view the world from above, and you can move around by clicking and dragging the world. - It’s using gpt-4-turbo under the hood, and I’m outputting typescript code, which gpt will self-repair when there are type errors. - Here’s a simple example game: https://prompty-58a21.web.app/dune/play So far I’ve been quite impressed…

After being inspired by your responses to the Ask HN thread yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35299071), I decided to see if I could use ChatGPT to make a functioning app. I picked a random project idea out of my Notebook of Amazing Ideas, and spent just a couple of hours using GPT-4 to build it. I've never built an iOS app before, and even if I made something like this as a web app (my usual job), I would expect it to take at least a week. My process was basically 1) Ask ChatGPT to write some code 2) Copy and paste the code into the right files (this took a…

Hi HN, I've been using Claude to generate landing pages and it's a huge time-saver. But, it's hard to go from Artifact -> Published website. That's where Artifact Ninja comes in. How it works: 1. Click "Copy" above your artifact in Claude.ai and paste into Artifact.Ninja 2. We'll generate a static webpage without any Claude branding 3. Use your registrar's "masked forwarding" feature to connect a custom domain Artifact Ninja is a quick utility I needed for my own purposes. It's cheap to host (Cloudflare worker + D1), so it's free! Hope it helps.
