Launch Day: ✨Srcbook AI App builder Create and iterate on fully featured web apps using Srcbook. Start with a prompt then either edit code or ask the AI to write the code for you. Think of this as v0 meets cursor: a dedicated app builder for TypeScript apps, with visual and code diffs built-in. Srcbook is open-source, runs locally on your machine, and you bring your own API keys for anthropic or openAI. I've been using this internally for the past 2 weeks and it's mind boggling how good the results are. I highly recommend using `claude-3-5-sonnet-latest` as a model. Try it out now: npx srcbook@latest start (please share for if you like the app or if you just want to help out for reach 🙏) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYOmzasvP74

love this. do you know anyone working on an AI pipeline that automates user tests for an app? if you combined this with srcbook, you could let the two work together iteratively on an app concept? if this doesn't exist, i may build it

I know of a couple people in that direction but nothing very mature https://sweep.dev/ focuses on testing I think. I think that your idea is solid. There 2 things we could do for the AI to "autonomously" make progress on an app: - TDD - screenshot + reflection These are not very high priority for us since we're not looking to build a fully autonomous app builder, but rather a tool that makes you 100x more productive. You're still in the driver's seat however, and the feedback loop you're describing might feel like you're delegating the "judging if this is good" part away.

Yes, Sweep looks like it automates software tests, but I was thinking about automating User Tests...i.e. how to 10,000 iterations with users dramatically faster and with less burn...meaning you automate putting the app in front of real users (a la usertesting.com) and then use AI to analyze the video of them using the app and use aggregated feedback and AI to automatically add/change/remove features. You'd still be able to make the ultimate product decision, but would be able to test many potential iteration paths in parallel and then review all at once.
