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 🙏)

hey everyone - some news: in addition to leading the @base team, i’ll be stepping up to lead @coinbasewallet and joining the @coinbase exec team. 

i’m really excited to take on this new mandate and to accelerate our mission of bringing a billion people and a million builders onchain.

--

@base and @coinbasewallet share the same north star: make it dead simple for the world to come onchain, and connect everyone who does to the incredible products being built across the entire onchain economy. now, we’ll be able to work together more closely to make this happen.

one important note: @base will continue to uphold its core values of being for everyone, a bridge not an island, and decentralized and open source. @coinbasewallet will continue to work across the entire onchain economy, and we’ll start the work of embodying the other @base values in even more ways.

it’s a new day one.

time to put our heads back down.

keep building and stay based.
