Zolly

Hi HN — I built Zolly after getting frustrated with AI app builders that generate code but make even small UI changes painful. Most tools stop at code generation. The moment you want to tweak layout, spacing, text, or colors, you’re back to manually editing code. That breaks the fast-iteration promise for solo builders. Zolly generates websites and simple web apps from a prompt, but the core idea is a real visual editor on top of the AI output. You can click, drag, and edit the UI instead of digging through generated code. You can: – Generate websites, landing pages, and small web apps from…
