Exports to CodeSandbox without downloading

That's awesome, well done. Really nice that it exports to codesandbox as well so you don't even need to download anything. Would love to see support for TypeScript as well.

Limited component library, mostly marketing sites
From 2 comments
We recently started using another scaffold generator from http://scaffoldhub.io. It’s similar to this but geared more for apps than for marketing sites. It allows you to build…
mostlyjason on HNThis is awesome, great work! One piece of feedback is that currently all of the components seem around designing static components. I'd love to see support for lists, dropdowns,…

No tests or docs in exported project
From 1 comment
I made a project, I messed around with the components, and I exported it. There weren't any tests or docs. That's very disappointing.

From 4 comments
Tried it out and it works fantastically. I'd love to see more components especially with Bootstrap. Do you need any help with its development cause I would love to work on it.
mahdiponline on HNThis is great ! Just works out of the box...really good work. Waiting for bootstrap version
cryptozeus on HNmy 2 cats after 10 sec of checking : feature request : - add for UI kit : ant.design & reactSemantic.UI please :)
lucasverra on HNWould be awesome if it supported Semantic UI

Option to exclude UI framework
From 2 comments
I love the idea and I’ll use it !!! One question: apart Framework can we have a ‘Not needed’ option for all other features? What if I want authentication with no styling at…
csbartus on HNGreat! Thanks :) I'm using styled components too. But the idea is to have nothing unnecessary forced on you like an UI library, email subscription and so on

Questions
Will it be open source or monetized?
From 3 comments
Very cool. Are you planning to open-source the tooling behind this? Or will you try to productize it somehow?
gitpusher on HNFirstly, a big well done to you. This is absolutely amazing. I am pure backend dev struggling to get my idea up and running. This will solve my worry of auth and the initial…
alokdhari on HNThis is amazing, I can't believe it works as well as it does. Very well done! Reminds me a bit of mobirise.com. I'm curious to hear about your future plans for monetization?…
