| Hi HN - Just wanted to share a local vibe coding tool that I created. You can download it here (free, no sign-up): https://dyad.sh/ It's open-source and on GitHub: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad If you've used one of the popular vibe coding tools like lovable, v0 and bolt, but want something more flexible and without the lock-in, I think you'll like dyad. Here's a few things that makes it different: - Runs locally, making it fast and frictionless. Because your code lives locally, you can easily switch back and forth between Dyad and your IDE like Cursor, etc. - Run local models using the Ollama and LM Studio integration (https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/ai-models/local-models), which lets you build with your favorite local LLMs. - Free and bring-your-own API key. This means you can use your free Gemini API key and get 500 free messages/day with Gemini Flash 2.5! Note: Dyad isn't an IDE (and not another VS code fork :) and instead is focused on people, esp. non-engineers, who want an all-in-one tool to build+preview web apps in a simple desktop UI. If you're interested in my experience building an Electron app (e.g. the pain of code signing, cross-platform issues, weird Node.js quirks), please let me know, I'm thinking about writing a technical blog post. I’d love any feedback about the project. Thanks! |
