yes!


like visual edits to ui?


Yes, more or less. I've been tinkering with what this might look like this summer, but haven't found a good solution. Seeing your "exploded view" of the backend resonated on that front.

But instead of the nodes representing steps in a workflow, you'd have screens/views as nodes. Now, how the user would handle layout and components at that level, I'm not sure, but that's directionally what I'm asking about.

I hope that makes (a little bit of) sense.


Check out WeWeb, it gives you an AI-assisted editor that lets you do exactly what you're looking for.


I didn't know WeWeb had a full on AI rebrand. Will give it a shot -- thanks.


exactly


thank you! There’s definitely a lot happening in this space, our focus is on making backends secure, robust, and understandable rather than just black-box codegen


Totally agree, security is a big point. It’s hard to trust LLMs on security, which is why we aim to make ‘white box’ backends


Thanks a lot for the feedback. The video was meant as a very spontaneous ‘as it is’ showcase, but we’ll definitely make new demos that go deeper into the editor!


Thanks! Yes, Replit has KV store and managed Postgres, Lovable uses Supabase (requires manual setup). Base44 doesn't have a manual setup but has a black box backend. In VibeFlow: - no manual setup required - low code backend editor n8n style - no black box anymore - everything you do in the backend is code that you own

It's not just about databases, think about all the users currently using n8n with Lovable separately, without even owning the full stack


is any of the nodes in your editor marked as "incomplete"? there is probably a wrong call to the backend from your generated frontend. you can either ask the chat, or can help you debug in our discord https://discord.com/invite/Ctm2A2uEaq


Thanks! Would love to hear what prototype ideas you have in mind


what errors did you encounter?


the UI that came out of the TODO app was saying error, although I gave it the firecrawl APIkey
