  • IDE in the browser. (WebContainers) Includes live preview, terminal, install packages, and edit all without having anything set up locally.
  • Integrations with frameworks undefined tools. Built-in React, Vue, Next.js, Astro, Svelte, Remix, Supabase, Stripe, GitHub, Netlify, and more are coming.
  • One-click app deployment. Deploy using Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare in one click from the browser.
  • Editable code. Everything generated is editable directly in the in-browser editor.
