       Show HN: Srcbook - Self-hosted alternative to AI app builders
        
       Today we're releasing a full AI app builder in Srcbook. We released
       our TypeScript notebook a few months ago
       (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41291700) and the response
       was encouraging, but we kept hearing that people wanted to build
       interactive apps.  Today we are releasing just that. You can think
       of it as an open-source and local version of vercel's v0. We
       actually think of it as something in between an IDE and that,
       because we believe the code matters and don't shy away from that:
       you can view and edit the code in a full editor, but prompt your
       way forward if that's what you prefer. When the AI makes changes
       you can review the files diff like you would a GitHub pull request,
       and toggle between versions to view the visual diff.  Try it now:
       npx srcbook@latest start  It's surprisingly good at building apps,
       especially with the latest claude model sonnet3.5 that came out
       yesterday. Here's a video showing building and iterating on a
       ticket tracker MVP in a few minutes
       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYOmzasvP74  Key features:  - bring
       you own API key  - diff viewer  - apply/undo mechanism to see the
       visual diff  - export the code  - code is OSS under apache2
