Show IH: Picnic - Turn your napkin sketches into a beautiful website
Hi Hackers! Abeer here from Picnic (trypicnic.com)
After years of frustration with drag and drop editors and pre-built website templates, we've finally built the product we always wanted: An easy way to turn napkin sketches into beautiful websites. Picnic is part AI and part act

I can't tell if this is a product or a service. Do you build the website for me? What do the websites look like?

It's a mix of the two. We build a skeleton template first, and then our designers will customize it as you want.
Websites can look like anything you want! Most users will submit some 'design inspiration' that we'll build off normally though.
My feedback:
We're targeted towards anyone that wants a custom website without having to pay a large sum upfront (aka a design agency), and then also have someone that'll automatically update/maintain their site for them.
It's not that drag and drop editors or template websites are bad per se (though they're usually slower and less secure or scalable), just that with Picnic you don't have to do any of the work and you get the exact site you envisioned.
