    Hey HN, I’m Kiet – one half of the two-person team building Onlook (https://beta.onlook.com/), an open-source [https://github.com/onlook-dev/onlook/] visual editor that lets you edit and create React apps live on an infinite canvas. We launched Onlook [1][2] as a local-first Electron app almost a year ago. Since then, “prompt-to-build” tools have blown up, but none let you design and iterate visually. We fixed that by taking a visual-first, AI-powered approach where you can prompt, style, and directly manipulate elements in your app like in a design…

    Hi HN, I’m Kiet, one of the creators of Onlook studio. I made this app that allows you to visually edit your locally running React app and write the code back to it in real-time. The purpose is to allow you to develop UI while fully owning your code the whole time. There are other visual builders out there but they either require you to upload your code to the cloud or some lengthy setup process. Onlook runs locally, deterministically, and only requires adding a plugin for the compile step (2 lines of config change). Technical details: This is technically a web browser that can point to your…

    Hey HN, I'm Bo, cofounder of Fleak.ai. Over the past several months, our team has been hard at work developing Fleak, a data API backend builder, and we would love your feedback on what we've built so far. What Fleak Does: Fleak simplifies the process of building and deploying API backends. It features a no-code IDE UI that lets you create workflows by chaining together steps such as native SQL transformations, calling LLM models, AWS Lambda functions, and more. With a single click, you can deploy these workflows to a production endpoint (during test, we are able to handle 5000 QPS without…

    Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

    Hey HN, I’m Kiet, and I’m one of the co-founders of Onlook – an open-sourced desktop app that lets you visually edit your locally running React app, then write your changes back to code in real time. I posted the repo a few months ago [1] when it was just 2 weeks old. Since then, we’ve made some big changes/improvements. I wanted to share some of the updates we’ve made and add more technical details. Here are the three big ones: • Inserting new elements - Draw elements in the live page like a design tool and write them back to code. • Component detection - Detect when an element is a…
