    OpenUI▲322

    Thesys just open-sourced their generative UI rendering engine. Interesting timing given where Google a2ui and Vercel's json-render are headed. The difference worth noting: a2ui and json-render both treat JSONL as the contract between the LLM and the renderer. Thesys is betting that's the wrong primitive. Their engine uses a code-like syntax (OpenUI Lang) instead — LLM writes it, renderer executes it. The argument is that LLMs are fundamentally better at generating code than generating structured data, so you get cleaner output and ~67% fewer tokens. The broader vision seems to be a…

    Templated▲306

    Hey HN! While building our own SaaS we kept running into the same problem: customers wanted a real design editor (think Canva/Figma-lite) *inside* their product, but rebuilding all that UI from scratch is a quarter-million-dollar distraction. So we turned our internal tool into *Templated Embed* — a drop-in image & PDF template editor you can add to any web app with an tag. - What it does? • Full WYSIWYG editor for text, images, SVGs, brand colours, Google Fonts • Outputs static images (PNG/JPG), layered PDFs, or keeps the design JSON so you can re-render via API • Multi-page +…

    Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…
