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 want to tweak layout, spacing, text, or colors, you’re back to manually editing code. That breaks the fast-iteration promise for solo builders.
Zolly generates websites and simple web apps from a prompt, but the core idea is a real visual editor on top of the AI output. You can click, drag, and edit the UI instead of digging through generated code.
You can:
– Generate websites, landing pages, and small web apps from prompts
– Visually edit layout, text, and styles
– Upload existing HTML and modify it visually or with AI
– Generate from an image or screenshot
– Choose between multiple AI models
– Publish with one click or export clean HTML
This is still early, and I’d really appreciate honest feedback — especially on whether a visual-first AI workflow actually solves a real problem, or if I’m missing something obvious.
