AI Full-Stack App and Website Builder with Fewer Hallucinations, Runs Locally

I built a local-first AI full-stack code generator that creates complete web and mobile apps from prompts.
Most AI app builders run everything in the cloud, are expensive, and often hallucinate or generate messy code that’s hard to edit. I wanted something cheaper, private, and more predictable.
So this tool:
runs locally in VS Code
saves all files directly on your machine (no remote servers)
generates frontend + backend + database together
produces editable, production-style code (not locked templates)
costs ~free for now per project using small/efficient models
focuses on reducing hallucinations with constrained generation + file-aware context
You can scaffold things like:
CRUD dashboards
SaaS apps
landing pages
REST APIs
full-stack MVPs
The goal isn’t “magic one-click apps”, but practical, reliable code you can actually maintain.
Still early, but already using it to ship internal tools and small client projects.
Would love feedback from other devs — especially on reliability and workflows.
Hi HN — I built this because most AI app builders frustrated me.
They’re usually cloud-only, expensive, and generate code that looks good in demos but breaks or hallucinates when you try to extend it. I wanted something I could actually use for real projects.
So I built a local-first full-stack generator that runs inside VS Code and writes files directly to your machine.
It can scaffold:
frontend (React/Next/etc)
backend APIs
database models
basic auth/CRUD flows
The focus is reliability over “magic”. I try to keep generation constrained and file-aware to reduce hallucinations and produce clean, editable code.
Cost is ~$0.5–$1 per project using small models, so it’s cheap enough to use daily.
Still early, but I’m already using it to ship internal tools and small client apps.
Would genuinely love feedback from other devs — especially where it breaks or feels unreliable.
