    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

    Hey HN, we're excited to have people try out our framework! When we built out a Chrome extension earlier this year, we noticed that the config was too imperative. You had to constantly tell Chrome via the manifest.json file where your files were, what your permissions should be, etc. So we thought it might be interesting to build a more declarative framework. When we built a proof of concept, we enjoyed working with it and decided to invest more time into making it usable and adding more features. We're still pretty early in building it out, and there's a bunch more we want to add, but this…

    we built sleek.design: you describe your app idea and it generates mobile mockups designs. it is possible to export them into html, react or figma. it is also possible to get a prompt that can be pasted into bolt and will generate the actual app starting from the design created. this is our third huge pivot and honestly the last shot we're giving ourselves. quick backstory: we're 3 bootstrapped builders. launched about a year ago with what's now on v1.reweb.so, basically a visual builder for nextjs/tailwind/shadcn. it went pretty viral and started growing, but we couldn't get past…
