Rapidpages – OSS alternative to vercel's v0
Hey everyone, Really excited to share what I've been working on. Rapidpages is a prompt-first online IDE, think midjourney for front-end developers. I've been working on this for a while and it's great to see some interest from companies like Vercel in this space. All you need for self-hosting is an OpenAI key and a GitHub oauth app. Simply clone the repo and play with it. It's also available on the cloud at www.rapidpages.io Please give it a try and let me know if you have any feedback, and if you like what I'm doing with Rapidpages, please give it a star on GitHub. Thanks!
Rapidpages – OSS alternative to vercel's v0 launched on September 22, 2023 with 216 votes, #194 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
Rapidpages is a prompt-first online IDE that generates front-end code from text descriptions. Designed for developers, it works by accepting natural language prompts similar to how Midjourney handles image generation. Users can self-host it with an OpenAI API key and GitHub OAuth app, or access a cloud version. The open-source tool is available on GitHub for cloning and local deployment.

AI Playground by Vercel Labs2023 · play.vercel.ai · ▲249Hey, Jared Palmer (creator of this playground) here. Really excited to ship this. I’ve been building this over the past few weeks to compare LLMs from different providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc. At Vercel, I manage our Frameworks division (including Next.js, Svelte, and Turbo) and wanted to also dogfood some of the latest features in a slightly larger application. This playground takes a lot of inspiration from https://nat.dev and is built on Tailwind, ui.shadcn.com, and some upcoming Vercel products we’re announcing soon. We’re going to continue adding models to…
next-forge by Vercel2025 · next-forge.com · ▲326Hey folks, I'm building a free and open-source monorepo template for "production-grade Next.js apps". Basically everything you need to go from "new idea" to "Series A level product" very quickly. It's almost at 500 stars on GitHub so I thought I might share it here. It comes pre-configured with analytics, auth, a blog, dark mode, transactional email, feature flags, monitoring, ORM + database, payments and heaps more. It's quite opinionated but very fast and very neat. I hope it helps you make something awesome.
Superdesign Prompt LibraryJan 2026 · superdesign.dev · ▲362The 1st Open-source design agent that lives directly inside Cursor, Windsurf, or your favorite IDE. V0.005 is an extension with custom Paralle Claude Code agents and infinite canva UX that allows you to iterate design directly in your IDE. It can: - Generate lots of designs in Paralle (Product Mocks / UI components / Wireframes) - Fork and iterate specific designs - Deeply integrate into your IDE workflow We think design might be the killer use case for Paralle agents, and we thought the best way is to build and validate—so here we are! The V0.005 only generates static HTML pages…
FlowershowMar 2026 · flowershow.app · ▲174I'm Rufus, one of the founders of Flowershow. We love markdown and use it everywhere from making websites, to docs, to knowledgebases. Plus AI splits it everywhere now. Got tired of the framework/config/deploy overhead every time we wanted to share a file or put a site online. So we built the thing we wanted. Files in. Website out. "Vercel for Content" is our aspiration - make deploying (markdown) content as fast, seamless and easy as Vercel did for JS. Command line plus you can connect to github repos, use Obsidian via plugin, or drag and drop files. npm i -g…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
