I built a tool to generate Angular/React components from a prompt

Frontend started feeling repetitive.

I kept rebuilding the same UI components over and over.

dashboards
forms
layouts
cards

so I tried something:

I describe a UI → it generates a working Angular/React component instantly.

it’s still early, but it already saved me hours of work.

would love honest feedback from other builders 👇

    At high level, this seems to be good and interesting.
    What is your business model? I believe you are not planning to keep it free forever.

    If paid service, how are you going to compete with giants like Emergent and Base44? I mean what differentiates your service?

    hmm may be cost?

      Great question.

      Right now it’s a freemium model:
      free → limited generations
      paid → higher limits + more flexibility

      I’m not trying to compete with giants directly.

      The focus is very specific:
      frontend devs who are tired of rebuilding the same UI over and over.

      Less “build everything with AI”
      More “remove repetitive UI work”

      Still figuring out positioning — this feedback really helps 🙏

      1. 1

        The concept is really interesting. But product positioning is very important.

        All the best

    If I were you I will push it with marketing. Sometimes product is good and founders just can't get their first customers. And they maybe post about their tool only here. Curious: where do you market your product?

    1. 1

      Honestly still figuring this out.

      Right now mostly:

      • X (posting + replying to frontend discussions)
      • Indie Hackers
      • testing ads

      Definitely feels like distribution is the hardest part right now.

      If you have suggestions on channels that worked for you, I’d love to hear 👇

    This is clever. Look into making an MCP out of it.

    1. 1

      That’s a really interesting direction.

      Right now I’m focused on making the core generation solid,
      but I can see how MCP / deeper integration could make it way more powerful.

      Curious — how would you imagine using it in your workflow?

    If anyone is working on a specific UI right now, drop it here — I’ll try generating it 👇
