24 alternatives to Prompt Area

Hi HN, I built Prompt Area — a contentEditable rich text input component for React, designed specifically for AI chat interfaces. The problem: if you're building an AI chat UI, your input needs @mentions (to reference context), /commands (to trigger actions), #tags, inline markdown, file attachments, and undo/redo. Existing options are either too limited (react-mentions only does mentions) or massive overkill (Tiptap, Lexical, and Plate are full document editors built on ProseMirror/Slate — way too heavy for a prompt input). Prompt Area sits in the middle. It uses a…

    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, 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…

    i built a framework that handles focus and input routing automatically for you -- something born out of the things that ink leaves to you, and inspired by charmbracelet's bubbletea - hierarchical focus and input routing: the hard part of terminal UIs, solved. define focus regions with useFocusScope, compose them freely -- a text input inside a list inside a panel just works. each component owns its keys; unhandled keypresses bubble up to the right parent automatically. no global handler like useInput, no coordination code - 15 UI components: Select, TextInput, Autocomplete, Markdown, Modal,…

    Hey HN, Since late 2021, I’ve been building apps using only AI models. Over time, I realized the real problem wasn’t how good the coding models were, but how you write and structure your prompts. When I vibe code, I make a looooot of typos or write unclear prompts. I often find myself reverting to old versions because the AI misunderstood my prompt and made incorrect changes. But in reality, it’s usually not the AI’s fault. It’s my prompt. That’s why I built PromptDC. It enhances your prompts with one click, without leaving your web-based platform or local editor. Just write your prompt in…
