Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

Boxes.devfree tier, from $19/mo▲112Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

Hi HN - I'm Ryan a product designer who codes, and I built Mesa. Current IDEs feel wrong for the type of development being done now - the focus is still on files. Mesa puts the focus on the full workflow: your agent, terminal, browser, and files all live as equal nodes on a canvas with full multiplayer support. (think figma but for code) I was tired of the overhead of switching windows, tabs, and terminals across multiple projects. Inspired by TouchDesigner and Factorio, I wanted something more fluid and visual. Been using it as a total replacement for Cursor at work every day now. Being…

Hi HN, Michael & Michael here. We are indie hackers who have been building apps full-time for the past year. We both independently realized the need for a React framework for building generative UIs. A React developer can register a component and then have an AI choose which component to render and fill in the props i.e. text, styles, etc. We have demos in our repo graphs, forms, and general UI. Check out the repo above or npm i hydra or use this template https://github.com/MichaelMilstead/hydra-template
