Rapidpages is an AI-powered IDE for generating React and Tailwind CSS components from natural language prompts. It targets developers seeking to accelerate UI development by describing desired components, which the AI then translates into code.

How It Works

The platform utilizes a "prompt-first" approach, leveraging AI models to interpret user descriptions and generate corresponding React and Tailwind CSS code. This method aims to streamline the creation of visually appealing UI elements by abstracting away much of the manual coding process.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Local Setup: Clone the repository, set environment variables (GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, OPENAI_API_KEY), push the database (npm run db:push), and run the development server (npm run dev).
• Prerequisites: Node.js, npm, OpenAI API key, GitHub OAuth application credentials.
• Docker: docker compose up -d followed by docker compose exec rapidpages npm run db:push.
• Cloud: Available for free at https://rapidpages.com/.

Limitations & Caveats

Component generation is currently a single-step process; future iterations plan multi-step generation for more complex UI elements, including dependency retrieval and icon generation.
