Show HN: Built a visual UI editor that exports to code
I've been specializing in UI for over a decade. Using code for UI is great but I always wished there was a more visual code to build apps and sites. So I went ahead and built it.
Decided to build it with Compose Multiplatform since I work a lot with Kotlin. Currently exports to CMP as it was simpler due to the context switch.
You can try it for free and export some apps

Show HN: React router v7 developer tools
Hey HN!
I've been building developer tools for react-router v7 for a while now, it all started with remix-development-tools and then I rebranded the Repository to react-router-devtools.
I wanted to share the project with you, it's fully open source and helps you build applications with react-router v7.
Some of the features include: - Detailed server logs including caching information, cookies, server timings and others per loader - Enhanced console logs telling you where it was logged and allowing you to click to open the file - Client UI with detailed overview of your routes, current loader data, and a lot of other things. - Open in VS code button for routes - Open in VS code for any component on the screen (currently only available on React 18, working on 19 support) - many many more..
I would love for you to check it out, and if the docs page is not your flavor, here is the github repo: https://github.com/forge-42/react-router-devtools

Show HN: Vibe Coded a Credit Assessment Tool for Distributors and Manufacturers
Hello HN Community,
I built a simple credit assessment tool (Vibe coded using Chatgpt & edited) for wholesale distributors in India, where informal credit is commonly used to supply retail shops. This tool helps distributors decide how much credit to extend based on a shop’s profile.
Note: The amounts are displayed in Indian Rupees.
We’d love your feedback, criticisms, and questions!
P.S. We're working on building the Faire for India—an instant inventory platform that lets small stores stock only what they need, reducing both overstocking and stockouts while improving cash flow.

Show HN: I made a chat-driven form designer with data insights
I built FormLab.ai to streamline form creation and data analysis. Tired of wrestling with outdated tools?
Here’s what it does: - Conversational Design: Chat with FormLab.ai—say "I need a survey with 5 questions about X"—and it builds a polished form in seconds (Conditional Logic & Validation Supported). - Chat with Data: It lets you explore trends and summaries through simple conversation—no complex dashboards needed, just ask the submission data what you want to know. - No Templates, No Fuss: Skip the rigid editors; just describe what you want, and it’s done. Manual customization surely available. - Solo Dev Effort: Been working on this alone—would love your thoughts on usability and features!
Check it out at FormLab.ai and let me know what you think—especially about the chat accuracy and data insights.
