I've been a shuffle.dev user for a very long period. After some time I learned the CSS and HTML to the point I no longer need Shuffle, but still - one of my fav web builders.

Good for you! And thanks for the kind word.

Just for clarification for other readers: Shuffle is not just a low-code builder. We also have a catalog of UI libraries, so you also don't need to know how to design things. :)

Hey! We wondered what to do to make building layouts even faster while adding more fun elements to our daily work. After a while, the inspiration came! Why not randomize the components while having fun, like at a slot machine in a casino? The idea generator combines available UI components into finished layouts. You choose the technology, the library, click "Shuffle!" and boom, ready-made layout. Click again, and you…

How many layers do you use for your Pure Random network? How do you train the randomness? How big is your random seed?

Also, I have heard that NoBlockchain is web scale. Can you confirm this?

Tough questions! I would have to ask our CTO, but here in Poland, it's already Friday evening, so I'll leave him alone for now ;)

From my side, I can say that Shuffle contains 3,700 UI components, and combinations are formed using them.

Wow! I like the idea and the execution very much. However, the pricing model is not so much my taste. The Lifetime license seems somewhat cheap, but $24 per month feels a bit expensive for a casual user.

Hey, thanks for your feedback. We have plans to remove lifetime licenses early next year.

Very nice! I like the idea of randomness. For my website business I made something alike. It combines some general styles with random colors. Some very ugly things are possible with it. ;) But it also has some preset templates that give you an idea of how nice it can look. https://try.hellowebsite.online/quickdesign/ (best tested on a screen bigger than your smartphone)

Good luck with your project! :)

I think it's a great idea, but perhaps it's not different enough from a collection of templates that you can scroll through (which are also in some "random" order, of course)?

Hey, if you don't trust our random algorithms, you can browse all our UI components linearly here: https://shuffle.dev/components

Its called shuffle.dev because the website keeps pivoting too.

It's funny, but it's not true ;) We keep adding new features, but the central point (the visual editor) is the same. Today, you can start a new project: * Classically, by opening the editor: https://shuffle.dev/editor * From our components gallery: https://shuffle.dev/components * From URL in this Show HN. Using our new project configurator: https://shuffle.dev/setup The goal is to help our users choose the best UI l…

just a light joke :). I really like your stuff please don't get rid of any of it! Been a paying customer for months, mostly using the editor.

Hey, thanks for reporting!

To be more specific: works fine under DuckDuckGo (app v5.102.3) on Android 11 (phone) but not under DuckDuckGo (app v5.102.3) tablet on Android 9.

The four buttons on the left could use some tooltips to explain their jobs, btw.
