BoringUi, converting JSON to web UI
Hey hackers, introducing BoringUi, a tool to convert your json data to web ui. Just enter the data, describe how you want the ui and done! Thinking of adding a feature to directly connect api so my backend folks never have to learn bloated frontend frameworks for simple tasks. It can be used for internal presentation, MVP etc where you don't want a complex ui. Checkout the Twitter post : https://x.com/AnuttamAna56189/status/1808423300571316500?t=2...
BoringUi, converting JSON to web UI launched on July 4, 2024 with 23 votes, #1,026 of 5,184 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
BoringUi converts JSON data into web interfaces by accepting data input and UI descriptions from users. It is designed for developers who need quick interfaces for internal presentations, MVPs, and similar projects without building complex frontend code. The tool targets backend developers and teams seeking to avoid traditional frontend frameworks for straightforward UI needs, with planned API connection features for direct backend integration.

JSONBason2025 · jsonbason.com · ▲15I've been at it again, just sharing my simple JSON data inspection tool, love webdev and single page apps, this one took 4 days and was a lot of fun. The code is not obfuscated so you can inspect it and see how it works (very simple, server side is even more simple) Pretty much just do a POST of your JSON data from within your code and it will convert it into a basic table for instant search and sort. Made with love for the fun of it, no ads, no paid anything, it's totally free. Please only send in sanitized/test data only, this is meant to help make webdev a bit easier and more fun.…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
