It works well with a very specific stack of chosen tools. Not to say it won’t scale to others but if you aren’t a react dev using tailwind and shadcn it’s useless for now.

After playing with both, I’m currently more impressed by the output of Visual Copilot by Builder.io. [1]

It builds UI from Figma as the starting point, but the UI can then be iterated with prompting or made interactive, etc.

It’s based on their work with mitosis so it can already create components in a variety of frameworks.

I’d say you still have to know front end dev to do anything useful with it, but it can be a decent accelerator.

It's like v0 but for HTML and TailwindCSS +/- vanilla JavaScript.

Cool! That's more my speed, I'll give it a look... thanks.
Just generates total gibberish for me.
What were you trying to get it to do? It was working alright for me but I was mostly doing quick HTML/CSS templating. I just paste in boilerplates and get it to make tailwind styles changes
Yeah, it’s primarily for React right now, but it does generate HTML as well
HTMX has entered the chat
I can see it working well for something like what Microsoft is doing with Adaptive Cards inside Teams conversations. I can imagine an AI chatbot that serve you targeted UI on the spot. It's integration with a whole site/app that is challenging.
Cool idea but yeah, no thanks if its React only.
with the html output, one should have plenty to quickly scaffold out some html components only real requirement is tailwind
That’s a pretty big requirement.
