Use Coffee to iterate on your frontend using AI
- transitivebs 3y agoCoffee is a new OSS framework which lets you build and iterate on your frontend code – right from your own IDE. It's currently focused on React, and the team at Coframe behind the project has experimented with a few distinct DX flows for how a frontend-focused Copilot should work. The best part of the project is there's no real dependencies – just run one docker command, add `<Coffee>instructions</Coffee>` somewhere in your project, and hit save to see the magic happen. It's currently pretty slow and has a bunch of rough edges imho, but I'm excited to see more experiments around generative UI in this space – and in particular, how we can build AI-based solutions which work well alongside a developer's existing workflow instead of taking them out of it – or worse, trying to replace them?

- habazzi 3y agoThis is a giant leap forward
- onum 3y agoSome background on why this DX: - you can pass real props and see how the component works. - you work in the same dev env, as you already do (IDE/Editor) - It leads to splitting the code into smaller blocks (which is good for LLM and humans).
- transitivebs 3y agowhat were the other DX flows you considered, and in your experimentation, what were the tradeoffs you found?
