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 👇

“Generating functional Angular/React components directly from prompts is a huge time-saver—especially for those repetitive dashboard layouts and forms. 🛠️ The focus on 'working' code over just a visual mockup is a great angle.
Nice idea, this could be a good way to test it. There’s a competition where you can submit it — entry is $19 and winner gets a Tokyo trip.
Prize pool just opened at $0 so your odds are the best right now.”
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 🙏
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?
Honestly still figuring this out.
Right now mostly:
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.
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?
by connecting the MCP to my AI CLI and executing the MCP from the cli. no need to get out of my env to create your components
If anyone is working on a specific UI right now, drop it here — I’ll try generating it 👇
