  • Show HN: Dyad – free, local, open-source AI app builder (v0/lovable alternative)
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Apr 2025
    Hi HN -

    I'm excited to share a free, local, open-source AI app builder that I created. You can see what it looks like and download it here: https://dyad.sh/

    It's open-source and on GitHub: https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

    If you've used one of the popular AI app builders like v0, lovable and bolt, but want something more flexible and without the lock-in, I think you'll like dyad.

    note: dyad isn't an IDE (and not another VS code fork :) and instead is focused on people, esp. non-coders, who want an all-in-one tool to build+preview web apps in a simple intuitive desktop UI.

    Here's a few things that makes it different:

    - Runs locally - Dyad runs entirely on your computer, making it fast and frictionless. Because your code lives locally, you can easily switch back and forth between Dyad and your IDE like Cursor, etc.

    - Run local models - I've just added Ollama integration (https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/ai-models/local-models), which lets you build with your favorite local LLMs.

    - Free - Dyad is free and bring-your-own API key. This means you can use your free Gemini API key and get 25 free messages/day with Gemini Pro 2.5!

    I’d love any feedback. Thanks!

    If you like chat interfaces, you might like this open-source tool I built, which is basically a chat UI but it saves you the hassle of copying and pasting files https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

    Basically it's running a chat UI locally on a Git repo and you can reference files like "#foo.py" and then if you want to edit a file, you hit "Apply code" for a markdown code block and then it shows you a code diff so you can review the changes before actually updating the files. I've found this makes it much easier to curb stray edits and keep the LLM edits focused on what you actually care about.
