I just built an AI tool that generates web-based micro-apps from text prompts.

It’s still in beta, so there might be bugs or quirks in the AI outputs. But you can use it to quickly make simple, self-contained HTML tools that do one job/task really well, and then share them (with a link) with others to use too.

I’d love to hear how it works for people around the world so I can make it better and more reliable for everyone. This is its site

    This is a really promising tool! Platforms like yours can gain traction much faster when introduced in the right Reddit communities where indie makers, developers, and AI enthusiasts are already testing and sharing micro-apps

    I help founders position new AI tools in targeted subreddits to get early feedback, engaged users, and organic visibility no ads needed. DM me if you want a few community strategies that have helped other beta tools attract real users quickly

    Great post! The concept looks promising and the execution is sharp. I’d love to hear more about your user acquisition strategy and how you plan to scale. Solid start and keep the momentum going!

      Thanks for your compliment! As for your question: our current aim is to extend the forces on AI to bring even more promising results to life both in the case of UI and UX. We are aiming to increase the retention of users. Stay tuned!

    Nowadays, there are many AI models on the market that can achieve this, many, many of them, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, this technology can bring convenience to many people, and the market is quite promising!

      Yes, we are really aware about that. That's why in the future, we want to deviate its route to a more promising one. Thanks for your empathy!

    Looks awesome, here's some organic marketing ideas:

    For subreddits that allow self-promotion (like r/SideProject, r/NoCode, or r/ImadeThis), post something like: Built Codebrae after realizing how many great app ideas die before launch because the build process is too complex. With Codebrae, you just describe your idea and the AI generates a full, working micro app instantly. You can refine everything—layout, logic, and visuals—just by chatting with the AI, then publish and share it in one click. It’s kind of like having a front-end dev and designer working side by side, but in real time. Curious what kind of tools others here would build if they could skip coding entirely?

    For non-promo subreddits (like r/ArtificialIntelligence, r/WebDev, or r/IndieHackers), frame it as an observation: I’ve noticed more people experimenting with AI app builders lately, but most still generate messy or non-functional code. We’ve been testing an engine that focuses on clean, front-end-only micro apps—small, fast tools that run in-browser. It enforces accessibility and performance rules automatically while still letting you design freely. The results have been surprisingly production-ready. Curious if anyone else is exploring AI-assisted web app generation seriously yet?

    Then reply daily under Reddit and YouTube comments about no-code, AI dev tools, and indie SaaS building. Write things like, Yeah totally — most AI builders overpromise and generate spaghetti code, or Same here — focusing on micro apps instead of full stacks made it way easier to get usable results fast.

    For YouTube, comment early under videos like “best AI app builders,” “no-code tool comparison,” or “how to build SaaS without coding.” Say something like, Love this — we’ve been working on a platform that generates full browser-based micro apps from plain English, and the results are shockingly functional.

    For short-form, post two slideshow videos per day. Example 1: “You don’t need to code to build tools anymore.” Example 2: “This AI turns your idea into a working app in 60 seconds.” Use slides showing the “Describe → Refine → Publish” workflow, sample tools like pattern makers or flashcard trainers, and before/after visuals of AI refinement.

    Post one AI UGC video daily with an AI avatar reacting to an app demo, with overlay text like “Wait, it built that entire tool from one sentence?” followed by the Codebrae interface previewing a generated micro app.

    Post three green screen memes weekly, use visuals like a tired dev staring at complex code with overlay text like “POV: you realize the AI just built the same thing in 60 seconds.”

    Run this consistently for 30 days, two slideshow posts daily, one AI UGC video daily, three memes weekly, plus Reddit and YouTube engagement to build trust in no-code and dev automation circles.

    Hope this is somewhat helpful! (PS, you can run all of this in aftermark(dot)ai) !

      I just read the whole text and it seems like a promising approach to try! I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your time and effort! 🫡

    Cool stuff! I think having examples of what people have built and how they are using it on the website will be helpful.

    1. 1

      It'll be such a great attempt to take on, thanks for the advice!

  6. 1

    Would be interesting! Waiting for beta trial version. I hope its in typescript fingers crossed

      Its on board right now, anyone can try it out! Though, it's still in JS 🫡

    This looks really promising — especially the focus on micro-apps instead of full-stack templates. The “Build Engine” approach sounds like a smart way to guide the AI toward usable, production-ready outputs instead of messy code generations we often see from generic builders.

    Would love to see how Codebrae handles things like persistent data or API integration in future updates — that could open up even more creative use cases for indie devs and no-coders. Keep pushing forward, this has real potential to become a go-to rapid prototyping tool. 🚀

      Really appreciate that! Yep, Codebrae is intentionally focused on small, self-contained tools that run cleanly, not full app scaffolding. The Build Engine already produces a predictable structure and I’m iterating to expand how much context it can handle in each generation. I’ll share updates as it evolves.

    That’s a really exciting build tools like this can gain traction fast when introduced in the right Reddit communities where developers, creators, and indie founders share and test AI tools daily

    I help builders position new AI products inside those niche subreddits to get real user feedback, visibility, and early adopters organically no ads needed

    If you’d like, I can share a few community angles that could help you get meaningful engagement and users for your beta

    1. 1

      Thanks, appreciate that. I actually tried Reddit, but most of my posts got auto-filtered, likely because of new account flags. I’m open to learning which subreddits actually allow build-in-public style posts or demos.

      1. 1

        All subreddits allows the right post but there ar ways to make post without been filterd removed, if you have the right account like there are much karma on them you will have access to publish any kinds of your choice contet so let me know the type of content you want to publish and i will tell you the problem of it getting removed

    Nice i also have made a cold email personalization SaaS

    1. 1

      Cool. How did you get your first users, and what was the hardest part of the development?

  10. 1

    Exciting project! You should also share this on businesshunt.co. It’s a great platform to connect with founders, developers, and early adopters who’d love to test and give feedback on innovative AI tools like this.

    1. 1

      Thanks! I'll certainly look out for it!
