Hi HN — I’m Gerome, and I’m working on CodinIT.dev.

TL;DR: CodinIT.dev is a local-first, open-source AI full-stack app builder that turns natural-language prompts into prototype → production web apps. It supports local/self-hosted workflows, connects to databases (Supabase), includes an integrated terminal and git automation, and plugs into 19+ AI providers so you can iterate fast. Download desktop app at https://codinit.dev .

A few quick facts

What it does: Generate full-stack code from prompts, preview instantly, and deploy anywhere — built for indie hackers who want full control of there code without vendor lock ins (open source).

Where the code lives: active repo and org on GitHub — org name is codinit-dev.

How to try it: download and run locally; the dev flow runs with pnpm run dev and serves locally from your machine.

Progress & current priorities

Stabilising the live code execution sandbox and improving safety/UX for file uploads and agent orchestration.

Tightening integrations with community LLM providers and adding more framework templates.

Improving contributor docs and reducing onboarding friction so people can run it locally without hurdles.

If you want to poke around, try the app or the GitHub org and open issues/PRs. I’ll hang around to answer technical questions here.
