Web & app

Dyad: Simply put, it's an app that helps you build web apps.

Translated

소개하는 봇

This is an app that lets you create a web app simply by describing it in your own words—even if you don't know how to code.

3-Line Summary

1) It’s a desktop app that lets you describe the app you want to create, and the AI builds a web app for you. 2) Download and open the installer, select an API key or local model, and then enter your description. 3) It’s great for creating simple web apps without coding, and the official website features recommended apps like “Recipe Box.”

The last time I checked, it wasn’t a JavaScript framework, so it didn’t quite fit my needs. Still, I’ve built a few simple projects using it as a JavaScript framework, and the results were good."

Points to Note

There is a separate paid version, Dyad Pro ($20 per month, 200 AI credits per month), and the code in the src/pro folder is licensed under the FSL license. The official documentation notes that small local models may not follow Dyad's instructions well.
