Show HN: Dyad – free, local, open-source AI app builder (v0/lovable alternative)

Wed, 04/30/2025 - 1:41pm

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!

Show HN: Native Immediate-Mode UI Library

Wed, 04/30/2025 - 1:02pm

For the past few months I've been working on Rim, an immediate-mode UI library that renders down to native retained-mode toolkit widgets.

I've always preferred using native desktop toolkits for my projects, but it's always such a pain to use a retained-mode approach and maintain state in two different places.

This, and my jealousy of how easy people in the ImGui world have it (it's so much easier!), led me to create a virtual DOM for desktop toolkits.

This gives me the full power of the immediate-mode paradigm, but still allows me to target native toolkits.

Feel free to ask any questions or provide suggestions.

Show HN: Binaural Toneboard

Wed, 04/30/2025 - 1:01pm

Hi HN!

I built this Toneboard a few months ago to use in lieu of cherrypicking youtube videos.

Fully open source: https://github.com/1ps0/binaural

I've been using the binaural audio standing-wave trick for some years now, particularly the rendered 40hz (400hz/440hz) to clear my head.

This is part of taking my own path towards small-scale tooling. I built it out as part of learning how to do an AI-first project with strong discipline.

The core idea is a series of togglable tones that have practical effect, especially with headphones. The Toneboard makes them composable, with quick access and controls.

I designed it to be an offline-first, framework-less, frequency generator leveraging WebAudio. I usually run it from local file, but I recently got it working on Firefox through the published site, due to hosting under my own domain.

The page has a basic explainer and howto for best effect.

Lots of ways to expand the project still, but this is how its stabilized for now.

FYI: This is still a 95%-done project with various little quirks and issues. I've made note of what I've found so far in the ROADMAP, but feedback is welcome (see GH Issues).
