An alternative approach to building web applications
These days, when you want to accelerate the development of a web application, you have two common choices: using AI tools or solutions like boilerplates and SaaS templates.
The problem with AI-generated code
Hallucinations. Because of the nature of LLMs, it’s often difficult to generate more advanced code that is up-to-date and of high quality.
The problem with boilerplates and SaaS templates
You often get the code you don’t need. A boilerplate or template that would satisfy everyone has not been created to paraphrase a famous saying.
The solution
Web Application Metadata Markup - a simple structure that describes the nature of web application: the database schema, CRUD specification, authentication, and authorization, just to name a few. You prompt the AI with an application description to get such a structure.
Who generates the code then? Rendering engine prepared by humans. Because modern frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Nest.js, Django, or Laravel follow patterns, generating the code that will help you accelerate your application development by weeks is possible.
It’s enough to throw away SaaS templates and boilerplates and start with a unique code for your project. Most of the projects are more or less based on CRUD anyway. And guess what, it’s open source.
