V0.dev OSS Alternative, Customizable, Budget-Flexible, Live in GitHub

Hello everyone, I'm excited to share the project vx.dev with you all. Inspired by the technical insights and experiences from v0.dev, we've now managed to seamlessly integrate the experience of converting text and images into UI code with the familiar GitHub issue/PR/code-review process. Additionally, this project offers further customization of prompts and the choice of suitable AI models. This integration not only enhances productivity but also opens up new possibilities for developers looking for flexible, budget-friendly, and customizable solutions.

V0.dev OSS Alternative, Customizable, Budget-Flexible, Live in GitHub launched on December 23, 2023 with 6 votes, #1,302 of 3,780 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    While using iTerm2 while busy working today, I once again felt frustrated by having too many tabs and losing the overall perspective of what tasks were in progress. So, I used v0 + Opus 4.5 to envision an ideal Terminal tab management UI in my mind, to demonstrate the best way for me to manage tabs in the terminal. What do you think?

  • Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

  • Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
