Hey HN!

So, I posted this web app builder a while back and got some good feedback and some awesome customers, but it was just too complicated. Originally, it had a UI builder like webflow or something on top of the API builder. So, painfully, I ripped out all of the UI builder and tried to simplify it.

Now, it's like a jsfiddle meets a rails generator. Anyway, play with it for free and let me know if you think that it doesn't suck. :)

It looks very nice. Would love to know what led you to create this and how you are going to grow it.

P.S. I was working on something similar since last two days. I used prism.js & Ace editor to create a Bootstrap 4 playground for my own blog (example: https://codegim.com/embed/a3EZQmXj)

Thanks! When I would start working with new clients, I often wished that I had a simple way to set up an MVP or copy and tweak a previous project. I also wanted something where clients could go in and make changes without having to set up an environment.

Keep working on yours. It's fun and you'll learn a lot.

It is a great way to setup an MVP. Best of luck.
