I don't like this much. I'm using React as a UI engine for IoT devices, where the interchange is defined with protocol buffers. Yes, just protocol buffers .. which generate templates for React to slurp up and render. Doing this the "Web-first" way, means I have to sign up to produce code? This is where I object. Please people, push things into the smaller end of the stack! Its the natural order of things...

At least try the product before bashing it. You dont need sign up

It's been great seeing the early alpha to what it's become! Divjoy is like a super powered create-react-app. great way to start off a project. being able to quickly add prebuilt components and essentially "eject" them makes customizing super easy. the UI is intuitive and love the animating side drawer for the component library. and :cheer: to exporting to codesandbox!

As an early alpha user as well, I'm also impressed at how quickly it's coming along. Great job

Hey HN, my goal with Divjoy is to make it ridiculously easy to start a new React project. You just select all the things you want in your codebase (UI kit, React framework, auth provider, analytics, form handling, etc), pick a template, then export it as a complete codebase that you can keep building on. All the UI logic like routing and auth flows just works. It also has a built-in editor which I think is pretty nif…

Very cool. Are you planning to open-source the tooling behind this? Or will you try to productize it somehow?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I love the idea and I’ll use it !!! One question: apart Framework can we have a ‘Not needed’ option for all other features? What if I want authentication with no styling at all..... Thanks a lot and keep up !!,

Yeah, I'm definitely considering that. Basically just wanted to wait and see if anyone asked for it. Out of curiosity, is that because you'd like to use a different UI kit or do you generally write styles from scratch?

I think a lot of people prefer to write styles from scratch. At least I haven't seen these UI kits being used much around me. I tried using one a couple of times and while it's great for getting something on the screen quickly, it turned into hell when I wanted to customize the look. Also it emitted embarassingly large bundles.

This is great ! Just works out of the box...really good work. Waiting for bootstrap version

Even the code sandbox integration is great, I dont even need to download the code. Good focus on what devs want...have you thought of integrating this with tools like VS Code ? More non web based product ?

Would like to productize it, so no immediate plans to open source. But who knows!
