Howdy all, I’m Ben. Me and my co-founder @izak_fritz are part of the Y Combinator S23 batch. I’m a former competitive strategy gamer. Izak used to build crypto trading platforms. A while ago, I designed a personal website in Figma. I designed the whole thing. I made 5 pages. I set up all the navigation links. Once I was done, I went to Izak and said “Ok, I finished my website, how do I put it up?” Imagine my disappointment when he told me… that’s not how it works! You have to code it! We're trying to change that. We want AutoEmber to feel like current design tools, but it makes real websites. We’ve been building AutoEmber nonstop for ~3 months. It’s still an early product. We don’t have hours of tutorials or hundreds of templates. But despite its flaws, we’re excited to show it off because now its possible to make great websites. You can try it for free at AutoEmber.com Feel free to reach out if you want help making a website.

Congrats on the launch!! Can I import my designs from Figma? What makes AutoEmber different from tools like Anima / TeleportHQ ?

@felixhaberle You can't import Figma designs yet. But its not super necessary, since AutoEmber does much of what Figma does. Unlike Anima (and Figma itself), the whole idea is that you don't have to export to code. AutoEmber makes and hosts real websites. Obviously other website builders do this too, but I don't think they capture the editor experience of design tools like Figma.

@ben_shumaker so you want to be the next Figma + Webflow?

@felixhaberle That's a good way to put it.

@ben_shumaker @felixhaberle Yes, that's the idea. We really like the user experience that Figma has. We think that a website builder that has the same feel as Figma will be awesome.

@ben_shumaker @felixhaberle the main competitor for them is Framer, which has added an LLM to their website builder/hosting. There's a gold rush for this kind of thing right now, and it will be interesting to see who wins out.

This looks super cool! Congrats on the launch! How does you handle mobile sites?

@max_rumpf When you create a website using our pre-made page sections they handle all screen sizes by default. This makes it easy to have an entire website be responsive on all screen sizes.
