24 alternatives to UiHub

Appaca is my third pivot. A couple of years ago, I started working on an idea on no-code platform that generates code. The goal is to help devs and agencies ship products faster for their clients. I went through Antler startup accelerator and got initial funding. I was working on the right problem, but wrong solution. Instead of no-code, I should have jumped into LLM a lot earlier. I felt defeated when Lovable, Base44, and Bolt came out strong, showing the world what LLMs can do in software development. No one cared about my product anymore. I pivoted my startup second time after that, to an…

    Blocks▲448

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

    Figr AI▲503

    Built Figr AI because I got tired of AI builder tools market themselves as design tools and end up skipping the hard part. Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…

    As a founder, I've always had the hardest time building landing pages. You either buy a template and spend hours editing, or scream at Cursor to "make it beautiful". It's exhausting and waste of our time as founders. We simply need AI to generate beautiful landing pages that we can ship. I'd been working on this problem statement for a while and was able to get great results when I provided AI with a detailed design system to follow. So I ended up building a collection where I've curated 100s of design systems for AI tools to use. Now, after launch of Nano-Banana, I updated our flow to first…

    Hi all, this is Burak. When agents became a reality one of the first things I wanted to do was to automate building dashboards. The first, and the most obvious, wall that I ran into was that a lot of the tools were just driven by UI. This meant that without the agents handling browser UIs and whatnot, it wasn't possible to have the agents do that. In addition, it would be impossible to review any of the changes the agent would make. The first instinct there is to get your agent to build a React app for the dashboard. This works beautifully for the happy path, but I quickly ran into other…

    Atomic▲140

    Hey HN, I’ve been building Atom (https://github.com/rush86999/atom), an open-source, self-hosted AI automation platform. I built this because while tools like OpenClaw are excellent for one-off scripts and personal tasks, I found them difficult to use for complex business workflows (e.g., managing invoices or SaaS ops). The main issue was State Blindness: the agent would fire a command and assume it worked, without "seeing" if the UI or state actually updated. I just shipped a new architecture to solve this called Canvas AI Accessibility. The Technical Concept: Instead of…

    Hey HN, I quit my 9 to 5 to join an accelerator. Let's say things didn't work out there. After launching my fourth startup and failing miserably again I decided to work on Frederick AI. I realised a lot of the early stage processes from idea to startup are the same and we can use AI to automate a lot of it from the way we come up with an idea to how we run startups. Frederick AI is a set of tools for early stage founders we collect Market Data 24/7 to detect consumer, business and government problems for other startup founders to go and solve. We then create a business plan and a…

    Co-Op▲30

    AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care. So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required. For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build…

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

    Most people are not validating their ideas before start building it! I am a 5th time tech founder, gaming included and I built & managed startup accelerator programs. I know lot of things about early stage founders and their pains as I have been there. That is why I am building Foundera. It’s an AI-Native Accelerator for tech builders. Today the problem is; most of the AI coding tools opens with a chat and asking “type your idea and start building”. This is wrong! I want to reduce the time and money spent on ideas that nobody asked for. Try it at https://foundera.app and give me…

    Hi HN, I’m Nico, one of the co-founders of BrainGrid. We built this after spending the last year building software almost entirely with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor. Writing code was fast. Finishing anything reliably was not. Coding was not the bottleneck. planning was. It was everything before the code: unclear scope, missing edge cases, poor sequencing, and vague intent. Once a project went beyond a single prompt, small changes started breaking unrelated parts of the app. In traditional teams, product managers and tech leads handle this. I was a Director of Product at Twilio…

    Hi HN! Last night, I live streamed myself coding this Llama 2 Agent on a Single GPU (Colab). After 6 hours it actually has some good results. How it works is it takes in your intuition (e.g. "I think x would be cool") and develops a business idea (with a name and branding colors) and a business plan. After the business plan is developed, it criticizes this plan recursively until the "Investor" prompt is satisfied with the plan. After all this it will generate the final MVP idea and pass it to a the React Engineer Agent I live coded 2 days ago…

    I am working on this because I am always afraid of building things that people don't actually want. I let agents role-play analysis the idea, quote and debate with each other. Still working on the output quality, every feedback is priceless. Pls try it out!

    I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

    I built a tool to roast landing pages with AI agents. I was gathering feedback from watching landing page roast videos, and figured out I could prompt LLMs to analyse a screenshot and roast based on the same criteria. It's not 100% accurate yet, but it has been really insightful when I've tested it on my own websites. Let me know what you think!
