Original Summary

Most low-code and app-building tools come with massive trade-offs: heavy vendor lock-in, unreadable exported code, and constant cloud dependency just to lay out a UI. For the past 2.5 months, I’ve been building NotCodes—an offline-first desktop IDE designed to fix these specific headaches. Clean Code Generation: The visual drag-and-drop workflow compiles directly into readable, modular React 19, Expo SDK 57, and Express code. True Zero Vendor Lock-in: You can export the raw project folder at any time, run npm install, and maintain it independently without proprietary runtimes. 100% Offline-First: Runs locally on your machine with no external server sync required for core building and code generation. The core frontend code generation engine is complete and free for local use. I’d love to get your feedback: When exporting code from visual tools, what part of the project structure usually breaks your existing workflow? How important is a completely offline desktop environment for your prototyping phase?
