Reviewer scorecard
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“Open-source Copilot alternative that works with any model. Connect Ollama for fully local AI coding assistance.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
“Use your own models, keep your code private, and customize everything. The open-source approach to AI coding.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
“Open-source AI code assistants with model flexibility will capture users who want privacy and control.”
