alepeak··on Show HN: Open-source Figma design to code
We just shipped skills as well! For Claude Code, install the skill to enable Figma to React conversion directly within your Claude Code environment: npx skills add vibeflowing-inc/vibe_figma --skill vibefigma

changed to APGLv3 :)
alepeak··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
yes!
alepeak··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
like visual edits to ui?
alepeak··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
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
alepeak··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
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?
alepeak··on Launch HN: VibeFlow (YC S25) – Web app generator with visual, editable workflows
Great question! We chose Convex for multiple reasons:

– We spin up isolated projects for each user. Convex handles this seamlessly with zero manual setup, while Supabase/Firebase have limitations and manual configuration needed – We abstract backend logic as visual nodes, so Convex's modularity makes it logical to find the right granularity for workflow representation. – Everything is reactive, so UIs and workflows stay in sync without bolting on listeners – Everything is end-to-end TypeScript with transactions by default, so generated code is predictable and maintainable

Glad to hear that. We want to make it as logical and white box as possible. Have you tried adding custom behavior after the first generation?

Appreciate it! What did you build? What other nodes would be game-changers for you?
alepeak··on Show HN: Mcp-use – Connect any LLM to any MCP
Hey, this is really cool. But why should I use this and not the official SDK?
alepeak··on Show HN: OSS Python client for creating MCP capable agents in 6 lines of code
Great idea!! What are some cool use cases you're planning to build with this? Really nice to have MCP without needing desktop apps
