I built an AI app builder because I was frustrated with how hard it still is to turn an idea into a real working product. No code tools feel limiting very fast and full code feels …

Hi HN, I’m the solo founder of Zolly, a tool that lets you generate a full app from a prompt and then visually edit it (no templates, no boilerplate). I launched recently and got ~…

Honestly, I did And few of my early users replied. They were like " We got almost everything for free from building application to edit and then download or publish everything for …

True. Thanks for the feedback. Honestly I planned it to keep Starter but it was only for a week. So thought for better understanding to change it to weekly. But the feedback noted …

Yup, I am getting this complaint a lot. Pushing an update by this week with credit usage details. Which model eats how much credit to generate a specific project. Thanks for the fe…

That's a great point. I will be updating the credit page with details like how many credit gives you which project. Why it is better to use Zolly is simple. We provide you with Vis…

Honestly, I have been through some of my competitors pricing. I noticed free tier are really good these days. I'm just curious to know what finally made others to upgrade from free…

Totally agree. I’ve talked to a handful, but responses tend to be vague “just testing”, “not ready yet”. I posted here to learn how others ran those conversations and what signs he…

Hi HN — I built Zolly after getting frustrated with AI app builders that generate code but make even small UI changes painful. Most tools stop at code generation. The moment you wa…

I like the focus on real world factors rather than specs. One question: how do you plan to handle subjectivity and sample size early on? For example, durability or comfort can vary…

The “knife fight” framing resonates. It feels like once a market shows leverage, Big Tech optimizes for control rather than coexistence, even if it reduces overall innovation. Curi…

This is a nice take on a very real workflow pain. I like the idea of fixing the viewport once and keeping capture + edit in the same context. Curious how you handle edge cases like…

Nice resource. Is this aimed more at beginners getting started with Claude, or does it cover advanced patterns like tool use and prompt chaining as well?

Fascinating use of robotics for conservation. It’ll be interesting to see how scalable and cost-effective this turns out to be.

Symbolically interesting choice. It feels like an attempt to ground a political moment in everyday public space rather than formal ceremony.

Thoughtful perspective. How do you see maintainers balancing sustainability with openness as AI tools increasingly rely on proprietary models?
