But, because spatial data is heterogenous, creating the ETL scripts, cloud infrastructure, and analysis pipelines to use it takes months—something we saw ourselves.\n\nWe spent a year trying to analyze real estate with AI, and the first three months were dedicated to building these data pipelines.

Alex and Ryan here - we’re super excited to launch [Blocksfabrik](https://blocksfabrik.com/#ref=yclaunch)!\n\n---\n\n**TLDR: We built a way to create design systems that stay in sync across design and code. Teams are using us to design better interfaces and develop them as fast as using an off-the-shelf component library, but with the flexibility of a bespoke design system and none of the tech debt.**\n\n**Ready to ship better product experiences? We would love to help, so please book a slot for a quick chat** [**here**](https://calendly.com/d/zkc-hbp-8n2/blocksfabrik-founders)**, or reach us directly via email at** [alex@blocksfabrik.com](mailto:alex@blocksfabrik.com) or [ryan@blocksfabrik.com](mailto:ryan@blocksfabrik.com)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nCreating your own design system takes a ton of effort and experience that is hard to come by. And once they’re built you’ll have to maintain them in design and code indefinitely. Off-the-shelf component libraries get you off the ground, but are disconnected from design and hacking around their limitations becomes a liability as your product grows.\n\nWhat if you can design and build as fast as with a component library, but with the flexibility and quality of a bespoke design system?\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nConfigure your design system in the Editor and Blocksfabrik will take care of the rest — creating the component code, Figma assets, and documentation. It’s like having a full-time design system team, without needing the budget.\n\n### **How It Works**\n\n**(1)** Define your design tokens in the Editor (including color palette, sizes, fill styles, etc) and the specifics of your interface components (from shapes to interaction patterns).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69110&key=user_uploads/919864/31b5b5d1-c6a8-4fca-b639-1a203bcab90b)\n\n**(2)** Publish your design system, and you’ll get a private NPM package, Figma assets, and documentation that are all in sync.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69110&key=user_uploads/919864/56ce7431-2f21-40d9-932c-dd2c1edbf728)\n\n**(3)** Since Blocksfabrik creates components for both Figma and code, your Figma assets will share the same properties, and behave identically to the components in code. The designer → developer handoff becomes fast and seamless.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69110&key=user_uploads/919864/e6fce859-0bb6-4b2c-b4fa-f1502029add2)\n\nNeed to update something? Simply make edits and publish a new version that you can start using in Figma and code.\n\n### **How We Can Help You**\n\nIf you or someone in your network is struggling to build a product interface or design system, we’d love to help!

This can be anything from a small data science/internal app to a large multi page web app.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68556&key=user_uploads/1164088/65dd0f6c-0edd-4c0c-9f18-e4b78b06a443)\n\n[Here is an example](https://dalle.pynecone.app/) of a Dalle Pynecone App created in \\~50 lines of Python.\n\nYou can see how to install Pynecone and start building in minutes [here](https://pynecone.io/docs/getting-started/introduction).\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nPython is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Webdev is one of the most popular applications of programming. So why can’t we make full-stack web apps using just Python?\n\nWe found that even skilled engineers who wanted to make a web app but didn’t know traditional frontend tools like Javascript / React found it too overwhelming and time consuming. And even after they made their app, deploying it was a nightmare. We wanted to provide them with a framework where they can leverage their existing Python skills to create and deploy apps, without compromising on flexibility or customization.\n\nRecent no code and low code alternatives have issues. No code solutions that save time in the development process lack the flexibility and robustness of traditional web development. Low code frameworks are often confusing and only solve part of the problem forcing you to use multiple tools to get the job done.\n\n# **Solution**\n\n## **1️⃣ Language For Your Web App**\n\nWith Pynecone we wanted to enable software engineers to build performant customizable web apps without the overhead of learning traditional webdev. You can make anything from a small data science project to a full-scale, multi page web app in Pynecone. We have over 60+ built-in components and are adding more.\n\n## **🔋Batteries-Included Hosting**\n\nOnce you have your app built, the next big challenge is deploying it. Learning to host on a cloud service can be confusing and time-consuming. On top of hosting your frontend/backend you need to learn how to configure and maintain SSL, CDNs, and monitoring/analytics.\n\nSince we specialize in hosting a single type of app, we can provide all of this out of the box with zero configuration. With a single `pc deploy` command we will automatically set up your infrastructure so you can get your ideas out faster. You can also host with your own cloud provider.\n\n## **🥞Empower Your Team**\n\nNow instead of having separate dedicated engineers for frontend, backend, and infra, every engineer can understand and work across the whole stack. This reduces communication overhead and lets your team go from idea to working product as efficiently as possible.\n\n## **💬 We’d love to talk to you:**\n\n* Do you or your team use Python and have any internal tools/customer facing web apps.

Tremor started as an open-source UI library to create dashboards, which grew to more than 10K Github stars in less than 10 months. This is where we discovered how many people need to build consumer-friendly dashboards but lack the resources to do so.\n\n**Problem**\n\nAlmost every SaaS requires visualizing data for their end-users. However, creating customer-facing dashboards from scratch requires a significant effort for both engineering and design teams.\n\nTherefore, many companies cannot afford to invest resources into building a visualization layer, especially when analytics is not part of the core product. Often, this results in an underwhelming user experience and additional revenue left on the table.\n\n**Solution**\n\nThe Tremor Platform is a visual dashboard builder made for developers. It allows users to connect to data sources, create dashboards with an easy-to-use interface, and embed them as a performant, white-labeled analytics layer into existing apps. For example, a bank could deploy a dashboard that visualizes spending to their customer portal, in days instead of months.\n\n**Meet the team**\n\nSeverin, Achi and Chris (left to right) know each other since university. Severin and Chris worked at Accenture for 3+ years, building dashboards for Fortune 500 companies. Achilleas previously worked as a software engineer at Bloomberg. They started Tremor as a side project next to their full-time jobs as they could not find a satisfying solution for visualizing data on websites.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73762&key=user_uploads/1325352/5c357073-2dae-464c-aabb-797a21d16fb3)\n\n**Our** **Ask**\n\n1.

You chat with Repaint, plan the style and pages, and import your content. Then Repaint generates a custom website in minutes.\n\n**Demo:** \n\n**The Problem**\\\nAI coding tools are incredibly powerful now, but most people still make websites with Wix and Squarespace. Vibe coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Replit can generate a webpage from a prompt in a few minutes, but beyond that they’ve focused more on app building than marketing sites:\n\n* They generate single pages with generic content, leaving you to build the rest.\n* The visual style is hard to control, with few resources for inspiration.\n* They surface technical details like code, hosting providers, and github integrations.\n* They charge per edit, so finishing a large marketing site is expensive.\n\nThere’s no major AI tool focused on making polished websites for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and marketers. That’s what we’re building.\n\n**The Solution**\\\nRepaint is an AI website builder designed to get you to a finished site, not just a starting point.\n\n* **It starts by learning about you.** Repaint interviews you about your business, what pages you need, and what style you're going for. It can research your company online and import existing content.\n* **You control the style.** You can pick a theme, provide reference links, and upload inspiration images. Or, you can let Repaint design it for you.\n* **It generates a complete site.** Repaint makes full websites with your real information. And it can recreate the same pages from an existing website.\n* **You edit with chat.** Restyle the whole site, add pages, update info across every page, redesign sections.\n* **It writes real code.** So it can build things template-based builders can't like custom animations, interactive components, calculators, and complex forms.\n* **Flat monthly pricing.** No per-edit credits.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98979&key=user_uploads/1045360/65931443-8184-450c-876c-89dcaf327f5f)\n\nWe opened Repaint about a month ago, and we’ve had hundreds of people make sites for tons of different businesses including YC startups, bakeries, cycling coaches, and more.\n\n**Our Background**\\\nRepaint is actually our second website builder. During YC S23, we built a different website builder with a drag-and-drop interface inspired by Figma. Despite our best efforts, we never got it off the ground. The existing website builders were already heavily optimized, and the AI wave was rapidly making manual no-code tools obsolete.\n\nBut those years gave us deep expertise in web layout, editor UX, and what actually makes people give up on building a site. We think that's exactly what AI website building needs — not just better models, but a team that understands the challenges well enough to make it reliable.\n\n**Our Ask**\\\nIf you or someone you know needs a website, you can try it at [repaint.com](https://repaint.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98979&key=user_uploads/1045360/3fb2e2fb-d58e-41a9-89a1-c8afe08c8e21)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PkR-repaint-the-ai-website-builder", "votes": 3, "created_at": "2026-03-21T14:06:43.659Z" }, { "id": 89065, "title": "Vigilant - Observability for modern software teams", "tagline": "Helping startups with application monitoring through logs, metrics, errors, and more.", "body": "![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89065&key=user_uploads/1045360/2eaee34c-2e65-45e6-a296-d923eb287b1c)\n\n# **What is Vigilant?**\n\n[Vigilant](https://www.vigilant.run/) helps developers monitor their applications and fix issues without overwhelming complexity.\n\nWe provide a unified platform for log management, error tracking, metrics visualization, and smart alerting - everything needed for complete application visibility.\n\nWe obsess over the user experience end-to-end, from integration to alerting. It makes Vigilant a strong choice for startups looking to monitor their product without a massive investment in learning and integration.\n\n[You can try it yourself here](https://vigilant.run)\n\nㅤ\n\n# **Why Vigilant?**\n\nHowdy, I’m Ben Shumaker, the cofounder of Vigilant. I cofounded Vigilant with my best friend, Izak Fritz. Our goal is to make observability easier.\n\nAfter experiencing the frustrations of juggling multiple observability tools at Robinhood and using painfully clunky default options in our cloud providers, we grew tired of tools that seemed designed for experts. Most dedicated platforms assume you already have tons of specialized knowledge about what to monitor and how—but most developers don’t know.\n\nWe built Vigilant to be the first observability tool prioritizing simplicity, not just comprehensive features.\n\nㅤ\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nObservability platforms feel overwhelming, end-to-end:\n\n* Complex agent installation and configuration requirements\n* Huge variety of integration methods without clear guidance\n* Cluttered interfaces full of random information and endless configurations\n* Tedious manual queries for simple searches and graphs\n* Multi-variable pricing that's unpredictable and expensive\n\nㅤ\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89065&key=user_uploads/1045360/86936056-dc52-4c4e-8178-7f518ea9c0ad)\n\nVigilant is the opposite of a traditional observability tool:\n\n* SDK-based integration that only requires a few lines of application code\n* Auto-capture so you can send logs and errors without changing every file\n* Smart defaults that minimize setup time\n* Focused interface that surfaces relevant info, and nests complexity\n* Genuinely predictable pricing with a simple equation\n\nㅤ\n\n# **How It Works**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=89065&key=user_uploads/1045360/fbb74c68-1c6a-4611-9ec7-5fa85719d2ce)\n\n1. **Installation** – Download our SDK for your tech stack\n2. **Integration** – Add a few lines to start sending logs, errors, or metrics\n3. **Manage in Vigilant** – After you've sent data, you view it and search it in Vigilant\n4. **Build Dashboards** – Create graphs and counters to visualize your data\n5. **Get Notifications** – Use integrations to get alerts when issues occur\n\nㅤ\n\n## **Ready to Simplify Your Observability?**\n\nYou can try Vigilant entirely on our free tier.

To make a website today, you either:\n\n1. Learn html, css, and javascript –> Months of learning, hours of coding to make minor changes\n2. Use a template website builder –> Can’t customize, get a generic website\n\nMeanwhile, there’s thousands of designers who can make pixel-perfect mockups, but then they have to pass it off to a coder who can actually build it.\n\n### **💫The Solution:**\n\n[AutoEmber](https://autoember.com) - a visual design tool that makes real websites\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73608&key=user_uploads/1045360/6d4a6b5f-aab5-4949-ac45-737d003cb4c7)\n\nWe spent the last couple months building a web app that lets anyone make a custom website, end to end, without coding. The user experience:\n\n1. Make an account\n2. Design your website in the editor\n3. Push “Publish”\n\nToday, you could make a good looking website with a few pages in a couple hours. We’re constantly adding features to make it more 🥧 easy, 💪 powerful, and 💅 pretty\n\n### **Who its for:**\n\nYou’ll find it especially useful if you’re: \n\n* A designer who uses tools like Figma\n* A backend dev who doesn’t like frontend\n* A business owner who wants a custom website without coding\n\nBut anyone making a website should check it out.\n\n### **How you can help**\n\nGive it a try!

We found that there was a large gap… We realized that a TypeScript notebook would be useful for many use cases, not just applied gen-AI, and so we started building.\n\n### The product\n\nSrcbook is a beautiful, open-source, local-first application to write and iterate on TypeScript code. It’s available today on npm: `npx srcbook start`\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83310&key=user_uploads/1399285/1af6e324-e52a-4d49-8e35-27af1b5dd4b5)\n\nSome key features:\n\n* Full npm ecosystem access\n* AI-assisted coding (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models), with notebook-specific advantages and a natural “pair-programmer” UX\n* Exports to valid markdown for easy sharing and version control\n\nWe recently [launched on HN](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41291700) and devs really seem to like it, all our graphs started looking like this!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83310&key=user_uploads/1399285/a040cd03-a61f-4767-b524-50b285aa9bd3)\n\n### Demo\n\nIn this video, you can see Nick using the genAI features to bootstrap a CLI-based chess game in a few minutes.\n\n\n\n### Asks\n\nTry Srcbook out! It’s free, just `npm srcbook start` in any terminal.\n\nStarring us on [GitHub](https://github.com/srcbookdev/srcbook/tree/main) also helps, although what we really want is for you to build cool stuff with Srcbook. If you make a good Srcbook, send it our way, and we will showcase it in the [Hub](https://hub.srcbook.com).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83310&key=user_uploads/1399285/8bab03fa-f71f-43bb-9639-152a83cfb733)\n\nPS: We’re [Ben](https://linkedin.com/in/bereinhart) and [Nick](https://linkedin.com/in/nicholas-charriere), been building together for 5+ years at Cruise and other startups, and we love TypeScript.

Axilla provides a family of modular libraries, which can be incrementally adopted, and together form an **end-to-end opinionated framework for LLM development**.\n\n### The team\n\nHey there 👋, we’re [**@Ben Reinhart**](https://linkedin.com/in/bereinhart) and [**@Nicholas Charriere**](https://linkedin.com/in/nicholas-charriere).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73588&key=user_uploads/1399285/8bda8bff-dc8a-4979-9c4b-a73b4c49a5f1)\n\nWe first started working together on ML platforms at Cruise, a leading self-driving car company, where we spent 4 years on the ML platform team. This is also where we became great friends!\n\nAt Cruise, we’ve seen the productivity losses that result from a fragmented ML organization. We then spent years designing and building a standardized framework and personally experienced the productivity superpowers that resulted from the framework’s adoption.\n\n### 🤨 The problem\n\nAn accelerating trend in the AI landscape is the shift from in-house model training to foundational models abstracted away behind APIs (chatGPT, Midjourney, llama2…).\n\nA consequence of this trend is that AI teams are morphing from Python-focused data scientists to resemble typical product engineering teams: full-stack web developers increasingly coding AI applications in TypeScript.\n\nWe’ve spoken to a number of enterprise customers who’ve confirmed their product teams are now responsible for designing and launching new AI initiatives, especially ones involving LLMs. However, given how recent the explosion of LLMs is, **these product engineers don’t yet have the tools** **to ship AI features quickly and with confidence**.\n\n### 💡 The solution\n\n[**Axilla**](https://www.axilla.io/) provides a family of modular and coherent libraries which together form an end-to-end opinionated framework for LLM development. It is aimed at TypeScript developers who want to build and operate production-grade AI applications.\n\nIt’s early, but in the last three weeks we launched our first two modules:\n\n1. [**axgen**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax/tree/main/packages/axgen) is focused on data ingestion and retrieval\n2. [**axeval**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax/tree/main/packages/axeval) is focused on continuous evaluation & quality monitoring\n\nNext, we are excited to begin work on model serving and monitoring, which are two of our most critical components. Together, these integrate production data back into the continuous evaluation pipelines, enable enterprises to run open-source models internally, and **allow developers to stop flying blind** when it comes to their AI applications.\n\n### Demo\n\nAs part of our first release, we built a proof of concept that demonstrates how to build a “chat with your documents” application using axgen.\n\n\n\n### Asks\n\n[**Try axilla**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax) today!

Pythagora manages the entire codebase and talks to you in natural language.\n\n### **🤨 Problem**\n\nToday, new AI dev tools come out almost weekly. While many showcase impressive demos, very few prove their worth in building real-world, production-level applications. We think that this is because they don’t put the human in the loop enough. There is a notion that apps can be built just by writing 2 sentences of what kind of an app you want, and then you just wait until AI comes back with a fully built application.\n\nWe believe that humans have to be involved in the entire process of app development to give timely feedback so that AI can make changes as it works on specific features.\n\n### **💡 solution**\n\n![](https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=79066&key=user_uploads/170713/2c530744-eaf9-4870-9e87-d4bfd806082d)\n\nPythagora talks to the user throughout the entire development process. First, it creates a plan for building the entire application. Then, it goes task by task, implementing each one, but before going on to the next one, it asks the user to test whether it’s working as intended. We noticed that very often, Pythagora implements a feature correctly, but users, once they see how a feature works, decide they want it to work differently.\n\n* Watch the full crash course on how to use Pythagora here: [https://youtu.be/HIIHx0kErPc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g-1cPGK0GA)\n* **Explore apps built with Pythagora:** [pythagora.ai/examples](http://pythagora.ai/examples)\n* Read case studies of users creating meaningful apps: [pythagora.ai/case-study-medical-research](http://pythagora.ai/case-study-medical-research)\n\n### [**🙏**](https://www.pythagora.ai/case-study-medical-research) **Ask**\n\nIf you know a company that’s looking to build internal tools, please connect us.

On the other hand, we have LLMs that are extremely good at writing code. They can write code snippets like a senior developer but if you ask them to build the full app, it will do a worse job than a junior developer. This is because building production-ready apps is not only writing code. It’s writing code, running it, debugging, iterating, changing requirements, refactoring, and many other mechanisms that developers do every day.\n\nWhile LLMs are getting smarter every single day, they will always be answering machines—they won’t have the mechanics that allow humans to iteratively progress on building an app.\n\nThe good thing is that all these mechanisms are deterministic and repetitive.\n\n### **🌟 Our Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79066&key=user_uploads/170713/2c530744-eaf9-4870-9e87-d4bfd806082d)\n\nPythagora is a blueprint of what app development looks like. First, it takes your requirements and asks you questions to clarify how you want your app to look. Then, it thinks about what technologies should be used for your specific app and creates the development plan. Then, it breaks the plan into tasks, writes code, reads the CLI, fixes bugs, iterates, reviews the code, and refactors it. Before making each commit, it asks you questions to make sure that the app works exactly as you want. Finally, it proceeds this way to the next task until the entire app is finished.\n\nMany AI copilots help developers write code faster, but Pythagora goes beyond the current developer experience — we’re reimagining how software development is done.\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\nIf you know any company that’s looking to build internal tools, it would be amazing if you could connect us.

Last year, I built the first version of assistant-ui because I needed the UX of ChatGPT in my own app. The app I was building didn’t work out, but few friends asked me about the chat UI. Since then, AI chat has became increasingly popular as a means for delegating tasks to AI agents. My focus is on enabling human <> agent collaboration through better UX and AX (agent experience).\n\n![Photo of Simon, the founder](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=87644&key=user_uploads/1152943/d43c8332-b160-40d8-8f27-849bd82806e3)\n\n## **Ask**\n\n* [Check out example demos](https://www.assistant-ui.com/)\n* [Star us on GitHub](https://github.com/assistant-ui/assistant-ui)\n* [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/S9dwgCNEFs)\n* [Book a sales call](https://cal.com/simon-farshid/assistant-ui)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Mnc-assistant-ui-open-source-typescript-react-library-for-ai-chat", "votes": 30, "created_at": "2025-02-13T15:37:24.704Z" } ] }, { "id": 30544, "name": "Wavedash", "slug": "wavedash", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5bc7b2b59a7a325fcdf566d9120353bab8f1fa91.png", "website": "https://wavedash.com", "all_locations": "Los Angeles, CA, USA", "long_description": "Wavedash uses cutting edge browser technology to let gamers play the latest releases with no downloads or installation.\r\n\r\n", "one_liner": "Play the latest games in your browser with no downloads", "team_size": 3, "industry": "Consumer", "subindustry": "Consumer -> Gaming", "launched_at": 1744312209, "tags": [ "Consumer", "Gaming", "Web Development", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Spring 2025", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Consumer", "Gaming" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/wavedash", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/spring-2025/wavedash.json", "year_founded": 2024, "city": "Los Angeles", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/wavedashgg/", "x_url": "https://wavedash.gg/", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/wavedash-1baa", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5bc7b2b59a7a325fcdf566d9120353bab8f1fa91.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Tom Blomfield", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/tom-blomfield" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 1663255, "full_name": "Kyler Blue", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "- world class games on the www\n- Wavedash helps game studios rapidly distribute their games\n- previously built GIF Keyboard / Tenor (acquired by Google)", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/kylerblue", "x_url": "https://x.com/kylerblue", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/d5a96b9a190ab2466107383a763fad9278bafc1a.jpg" }, { "user_id": 211787, "full_name": "Raymond (George) Kennedy", "title": "Founder/CTO", "founder_bio": "Play next generation games in your browser", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/franzwarning/", "x_url": "https://x.com/franzwarning", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/bbf2863f96314ff4acfeb52de3824f775dc8cd0b.jpg" }, { "user_id": 1828896, "full_name": "Matthew Portner", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/in-in-in/", "x_url": "https://x.com/portner", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/cf0344a264cb8edd23d1ba8d52bf804ce2a3b1e6.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [], "launches": [ { "id": 90656, "title": "Wavedash — zero-install gameplay", "tagline": "Play the latest games in your web browser", "body": "**TL;DR: Wavedash uses cutting edge browser technology to let gamers play the latest releases with no downloads or installation.**\n\nhttps://youtu.be/J_33b9malzc\n\n## The Problem\n\nLarge downloads and lengthy installs create friction between your game and potential players\n\n## Our Solution\n\nWavedash uses cutting edge browser technologies (like WebAssembly and WebGPU) to allow players to hop into your game instantly — with no downloads and no installations.\n\n## The Team\n\nKyler Blue was previously the first employee and Head of Product at Tenor (acquired by Google.)

We’re taking a new approach by building everything from the ground up for AI.\n\n✨ [Try building an app right now!](https://floot.com)\n\n# The Problem\n\nExisting AI app builders fall short of enabling non-coders to build real, serious apps. They often:\n\n* **Break down** when building anything more than a prototype or toy app\n* **Have non-coders stuck** with errors they don’t understand\n* **Require non-coders to handle multiple services** designed for developers (e.g. for backend, database, hosting, etc)\n\n**The fundamental problem**: these AI app builders just cobble together existing developer tools and slap AI on top, but these tools were designed for humans and not for AI.\n\nThe result? Non-coders get excited, start building, hit a wall, and then abandon their projects.\n\n# Our Solution\n\nFloot is purpose-built for AI. Our secret sauce:\n\n1. Instead of reusing a coding framework designed for humans, **we created a specialized framework** that dictates how AI should write code and how the code runs on our infrastructure. This allows us to enforce best practices, detect errors earlier, and give the best feedback to the AI. As a result, Floot can write better code and fix issues more effectively.\n2. **Floot has the entire tech stack built-in** (backend, database, hosting, etc) so building and managing an app feels seamless, especially for non-coders. And because we control every layer of the stack, we can optimize each layer for AI-first coding.\n\nBecause of this, **non-coders can get more done with less time** and prompting. They can finally **build serious apps** that work, instead of getting stuck in frustrating error loops and then abandoning their projects.\n\nWe also built a **highly scalable hosting system** directly on AWS so Floot apps can handle real traffic and business demands. This means non-coders can build, deploy, and scale their apps on a single platform seamlessly.\n\nPlus, **Floot is really fun to use**! It takes your prompt, breaks it down, and shows you how it accomplishes each step. If it sees a bug while building, it lets you know and fixes it right away.\n\nYou can even draw on your app to visually communicate the changes you want:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=92516&key=user_uploads/2071169/b6bd69f7-9f86-4db9-929e-4ad3ab66b129)\n\n**Here’s what a customer said about Floot:**\n\n_I'd tried other platforms but could never advance far enough to feel truly productive. The time investment and constant token usage just to fix issues had me ready to hire a developer again. With Floot, I had a working app within a week, even working in my off-hours, and started beta testing with my team days later. We estimate Floot has saved us around $20,000 so far. Best of all, their customer support has gone above and beyond at every turn._\n\n✨ [Try Floot yourself!](https://floot.com) (bonus: build something you’ve made in other tools to compare)\n\n# Why are we building this?\n\nWe believe that existing tools are based on technologies built for human developers and ill-suited for the future of AI writing most of the code. The whole toolchain of building and maintaining software desperately needs to adapt to the new reality. We are starting with web apps with the goal of evolving into the new foundation of software, empowering the next generation of builders.\n\n# Team\n\n[Yujian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yjyao/) was a staff software engineer at Retool and Asana. At Retool, he rebuilt the entire runtime to optimize the user experience for builders. At Asana, he built the rich editor that powers every task and comment. Yujian ranked 4th in the National Olympiad in Informatics, Singapore.\n\n[Edward](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwlk/) scaled his SaaS to 10k+ customers by taking something technically complex and making it accessible to non-technical users, and now he’s doing the same with Floot. For his SaaS, he built a highly scalable and reliable distributed system to handle low-latency applications. Before that, Edward built infrastructure at AWS and studied CS at Berkeley.\n\n# Our ask\n\n✨ [Try building an app in minutes on Floot!](https://floot.com)\n\nWe’d love your feedback (even nitpicks!) - reach us at [founders@floot.com](mailto:founders@floot.com)\n\nKnow someone who needs to build an app?

Click any element in the browser to jump straight to the relevant line of code and edit it yourself, or provide precise context to an LLM to make updates.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIIXvN7vhrs\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n**The Problem**\n\nLLMs have transformed how we write code, yet they consistently struggle with precise UI updates. The common belief is that AI simply doesn’t do well with visual tasks, but the real problem is that we're asking LLMs to understand UI without giving them proper context. They’re great at vibe styling but not great at producing precise UIs.\n\nWhen you prompt an LLM about styling or component changes today, you're describing visual elements through text alone. It's like giving directions without a map. Meanwhile, developers juggle between browser DevTools, their code editor, screenshot tools, and component explorers just to gather enough context to make AI useful for these kinds of tasks.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nJSX Tool addresses this by letting you click on any element and prompt your LLM with precise DOM context, the exact source component, its styles, and its position in the React hierarchy. Everything happens in one place: inspect, prompt, edit, and see changes instantly. \n\nAnd when AI suggestions aren't quite right, our full IDE is right there in the browser with that same context, so you can jump to the exact line of code you want to edit with a single click. You get the benefits of AI, while keeping the creative control and the nuanced decision-making that UI development demands.\n\nNow developers and AI models share a common language for UI; both can reference the exact same visual elements with clarity, turning LLMs from guessing machines into powerful UI collaborators.\n\n**@Tagging:** In your prompts, you can either type @ and click on a section of your webpage to reference another element relative to the one you’re focused on OR you can type @/ to mention files and directories you want the LLM to have as context in your prompt.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95312&key=user_uploads/3082625/2b76e7e0-6efc-4bb5-8b16-86f1cffd6f08)\n\n**CSS Editor:** JSX Tool has a CSS editor that is nearly as feature-complete as the native CSS style editors found in browser element inspectors. Instead of applying your changes to a single element, you can see how your change to a line of JSX code would be applied globally.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95312&key=user_uploads/3082625/f911aeb0-3a85-4e30-9042-d49fd4a06d61)\n\n**LSP Integrations:** JSX Tool ships with a lightweight IDE for manually editing code, but still an IDE that does some heavy lifting. The JSX Tool IDE integrates in language servers for common React development tasks, so you can have things like type-checking, auto-complete, and linting upon save. We currently ship with LSPs for Typescript, Tailwind, ESLint, and Prettier.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95312&key=user_uploads/3082625/57a590b7-b2c0-41e1-90c3-336c839b7219)\n\nTo learn more or start using the extension, go to [jsxtool.com](https://jsxtool.com)!\n\n_Note: IDE features are currently in app review and will be available in our next release._\n\n**Team**\n\nJamie and Dan grew up in New York City and have been working on projects together for nearly 20 years. Before JSX Tool, we most recently built a mobile app for bypassing news site paywalls.\n\nJamie is a second-time YC founder. Prior to starting JSX Tool, he worked as a Software Engineer at YCombinator on their investor software. He previously co-founded Cheqout, a restaurant technology company that was a part of the YC W21 batch. Prior to his first startup, Jamie worked on Airbnb's China Risk Team.\n\nJamie has had a deep interest in higher-order and visual programming for a while. He previously built a version control system to diff and merge structured, non-textual assets. Many of the technical problems encountered in that project were very similar to those encountered in JSX Tool.\n\nDan worked most recently as a Senior Software Engineer at Everblue, where he led engineering teams building workflow applications to power US government systems. Prior to that, he worked as a Senior Cloud Engineer at Sela US. He got his start in tech in the world of React and has since returned to his roots. In a former life, he was a Chef at a James Beard award-winning restaurant.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95312&key=user_uploads/89898/dc4d88be-c544-45e6-9936-8dd8f08e80aa)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OnI-jsx-tool-in-browser-react-ide", "votes": 53, "created_at": "2025-11-09T16:01:49.332Z" } ] }, { "id": 31246, "name": "Inth", "slug": "inth", "former_names": [ "Consent.io", "Consent" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/aca00ac880b2d3d17acae2b1679332dc8000c5f7.png", "website": "https://inth.com", "all_locations": "London, England, United Kingdom", "long_description": "Inth monitors your pull requests, codebase and website to catch privacy issues and turns them into fixes and evidence.\r\n\r\nEvery product change you make exposes you to privacy risk.
