Yessss, I'm using it myself for my quick and dirty uni projects currently.

Also speaking of FastAPI, have you checked out FastRAPI?

Yes, we made sure that you wouldn't need docs, you can write your code in your favourite framework, and it works properly!

Check out the docs here: https://bui.preetham.top/

The source code is in C/C++, there's no need to port it to rust

Oh yes, the web implementations there for mockup.

Let me update the web samples. Thank you!

Hi, the creator here.

It works perfectly on my machine, and another friend's machine. Just to be sure, which demo did you try? the website or python or rust?

Hi, the creator of BUI here.

I do hate vibe coding. So I took a different approach for BUI.

Instead of asking the agent to decouple the UI, I asked it to remove all the parts which isn't a part of UI logic.

Turns out AI is pretty good at removing than generating.

We also have a discord server, lmk if you're planning on using BUI!
