I prefer Claude by a long shot for coding. It can make basic mistakes or forget about requirements, but the output structure and quality is better than GPT4 Turbo in my experience.

Recently I found out that by dumping a tailwind dashboard template into Claude, I can make it generate any page & component I want, and it's usually pretty spot on! I can't wait until there's a faster workflow for this.

I'm glad you like it! Yes that's my hope, I feel like it really democratizes frontend development and creates a new category for tools like this.

Hey HN!

It's been a while since I last posted about Crylic, and I wanted to share an update on the project. Crylic is a tool for editing React visually, and it's now an open source project! The JavaScript ecosystem is massive, with many different libraries and frameworks; my hope is that by open sourcing Crylic, we can create a tool that can be used by anyone, regardless of their tech stack or technical background.

I believe that this tool has the potential to be a game changer for web developers, and I'm excited to see what the community can do with it! Even if Crylic itself doesn't end up being the tool that everyone uses, I hope that it can inspire other developers to create similar tools based on the fundamental technology that Crylic is built on.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the tool!

Thank you! I've made a change to the header, hope that fixes the landing page issue for you. Haha point taken, I'll look into getting the intro video professionally dubbed.

Hey HN! I built Crylic with the belief that we can do better than the current generation of tools for modern web frameworks, especially for visually editing components directly instead of using different programs, such as Chrome's developer tools, to inspect & tweak styles then manually writing out the code.

Crylic is simply a WYSIWYG editor for React; it can display & edit JSX/TSX files, create/compose components, edit inline/CSS/styled-components styles, and more!

I was initially focusing on designers for this, which is why much of the documentation and wording on the site refers to designers, but I'm considering pivoting to be 100% focused on developers. I'd love any feedback!
