Starry

Turn a sentence into a production-ready UI & React/HTML code

What it does

Starry is an AI-native design tool. Describe an interface in plain language and get an editable design that exports to React (JSX) and HTML. It imports native Figmafig files and connects to coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) over MCP. Local-first desktop app plus a web PWA. Free to start.

Starry — The design tool built for AI collaboration. Local-first. Everyone

The design tool built for AI collaboration. Local-first, powered by ACP & MCP — turning natural language into precise UI specs and production code. No code, no blank canvas — describe the interface you want, and Starry's AI generates it for you. Every software team builds these — auto-layout plus direct React (JSX) export keeps the loop shortest. A must-have for every product and startup — one sentence in, HTML/React out. The largest category in B2B — tables, cards and charts are all auto-layout strengths. Huge demand — positioned as design + prototype, with HTML export for handoff. 'Generate a design system from natural language' — the most differentiated play. Prompt → interface → code:…from app.starry.design

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
