    A React and Next.js UI Toolkit for LLMs▲24

    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…

    The Next.js SaaS boilerplate market is saturated, but there's still room if you solve real developer pain points.

Hi, I'm Jude Wei, a software engineer obsessed with understanding what developers actually need. 90 days ago, I started building what I thought would be just another personal Next.js template.
