PH Launch: 23.08.2023
Upvotes: 2074 ▲

Do you have a design that you want to convert into code quickly and efficiently? Then Kombai is the right assistant for you. This AI model takes designs as prompts and generates code based on them, so you can easily transform your ideas into functional code.

Kombai produces high-quality output code in React, HTML, and CSS. Let’s say you’re working with Figma: there’s no need to tag, name, or group design elements in any specific way, since Kombai works on vector data obtained from the design tool, ensuring accurate code generation.

It provides a logical div structure in the DOM, a logical component structure in the React code, and logical names for classes, variables, and components. The generated CSS code includes accurate width, margin, padding, and flex-related properties, without hardcoded dimensions. The JS code is clean and includes loops and conditions where necessary, and the tool generates functional components for form elements.

And don’t worry: You can tweak the design a little to get the code you want, which makes this a valuable tool for developers and designers alike.

🪙 Pricing

Note: You can use Kombai for free during the public research preview.

• Trial plan: Free (unlimited design uploads and code downloads, React and HTML + CSS outputs, Tailwind CSS and MUI Base, no design files shared with 3rd parties)

Enterprise plan: Custom pricing (custom CSS variables and mixins, custom component libraries, code output to fit your tech stack).

Resend is a modern email-sending platform that focuses on reaching humans instead of spam folders and prioritizes exceptional developer experience and innovation.

Amongst its advantages, the app introduces a new way of developing and sending emails by allowing you to code your emails using React instead of outdated layouts like HTML or plain text. This makes it easier to build templates and creates a more dynamic and engaging email experience.

To avoid slow performance, you can choose the region from which your emails should be sent, minimizing latency and improving time-to-inbox, especially when end users are located in different parts of the world.

Resend also exposes all the events associated with an email via webhooks. This means you can track and analyze the delivery, open rates, clicks, and other important metrics to gain insights into the success of your email campaigns.

Designed not only for marketers but also for developers, this tool offers a clean REST API and SDKs for popular programming languages like Node.js, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Go, and Java. There are examples of how to send emails using serverless solutions like Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and Supabase Edge Functions, so you can scale your campaigns with no worries.

Methodological note

There are many ways to interpret: “Hottest in the month”. In case you’re wondering, here’s how we put together the list:

• Check the most-upvoted list every day this month (ProductHunt Time Travel)
• Check upvotes as of the day of collection (1st of the following month)
• Select 10 apps with the most upvotes

That means the list is slightly biased towards apps that launched earlier in the month (more time to collect votes). However, since it contains apps from the entire month, we feel that small imprecision is acceptable. Upvote counts are from the day we pulled the data.
