Screenshot-to-Code AI Tool
Turn screenshots or mockups into front-end code with AI, then sell a hosted version with credits.
In plain English
A screenshot or a rough page design goes in, and the code for what you see on the page comes out. Abi Raja, through Whimsyworks, shares the core so anyone can use it, and sells a hosted version where people buy credits. Buyers want the hosted version because rebuilding a page from a picture by hand takes a long time. The AI does a large share of the code writing. Abi still does a good amount of the work, looking after the product and telling other builders about it.
