Hello people of Product Hunt! 👋😄 Have you ever had an idea for a product and planned to have it done within 3 days? But then 3 years pass and you haven’t launched it yet? I’m a designer who’s been launching startups for the past 10 years. I’ve been consistently frustrated by how long it takes to turn a design into a working product. I knew there had to be a better way. I started working on a small, front-end library back in 2018, which eventually evolved into what Remake is today. Introducing Remake 2.0, an open source framework that lets you turn HTML & CSS into fully-function web apps in minutes. Remake is a departure from accepted best practices, which try to convince you that “Web development is complex — and if it’s not, it’s not real web development.” Remake goes in the opposite direction: It shouldn’t matter how hard it is to build something — all that matters is if you help your users succeed. Remake is straightforward and simple: 📎 Upload and store files in one line of HTML 📝 Easy for users to edit the page 📂 Sortable items with one HTML attribute 💡 Every user gets their own data 🔒 Secure user accounts 🛠 Built-in CRUD components ⚡️ Instant deployment If you want to see how powerful Remake is, go to the Recipes page. I hope you’re as excited as I am. I’d love to answer all your questions here throughout the day! Oh my goodness! I am the luckiest. My wonderful wife surprised me with a custom Remake t-shirt the night before launch day 😊 Join our community and let’s Remake the web! 🧙‍♂️ P.S. Discount: I’m constantly inspired by the Product Hunt community and all the amazing people here. I’d like to offer you a 20% discount for being a part of the maker movement: REMAKE20 (works on all plans)

As someone who knows a little HTML + CSS but not much else, the idea I can use something simpler like Remake (compared to say JS) to build functioning web apps is really fascinating. Can't wait to try it out, and congrats on the launch @panphora!
David Miranda
@panphora @yungrollneck Thank you Charlie! I'd love to do an office hours video and invite newer people on to learn Remake together.

I've been following your progress over the past few months of you building Remake, and it's been a joy to watch. From the care you take over every aspect of the site to the mammoth job of redoing the syntax, I'm delighted you've launched! I'm not technical so I don't fully understand how Remake works, but what I do know is it stands for makers being able to make things faster, more efficiently. Congrats on getting this live David, looking forward to see what people build with Remake 🎉
David Miranda
@jmckinven Thank you James, your support means a lot! I love your podcast btw! It inspires me to try harder and post more things in public (even if it's not easy at the time).
Joe Masilotti
I am SO excited for this launch! I've been watching David meticulously build Remake for a long time now. It's amazing to see it live, working, and blowing people's mind. I looked though my notebook last week. I had 10 ideas for apps over the past few months. I built one of them and it took 30 days. With Remake I can make ALL of them, in probably less time. I'm already spinning up a new idea for the holiday season and can't wait to see it live on my own domain. Good luck with the launch today David!
David Miranda
@joemasilotti That's so great to hear, I hope you can build everything you want to build! Reach out any time — I'm available to help with anything you need to get set up! david@remaketheweb.com

Remake is the best partner for any HTML + CSS template. It’s like adding fullstack power to front end developers 🥳
David Miranda
@xianmingchen Thank you Damon! Your moral support throughout my journey has been amazing. Thank you for being a guest on the livestream as well, it was a lot of fun!

@upen946 Thank you! I'm excited to be a part of the low-code movement alongside Siteoly! I think empowering creators is the best business model there is. ✌️
James @ WhatFeatures
Looks great, David. Good luck with the launch today!
David Miranda
@jameswf Thank you James! I love what you're doing with WhatFeatures and helping the indie hacker ecosystem grow. Deciding which features to build can be a frustrating process and I respect how much you're helping product-driven founders solve that!
Abhishek Kumar
Excited for this David. And all the cool things one can make using Remake. Very promising🤓
David Miranda
@abhishek_kumar3 Thank you Abhishek! Yes, we'll even have more example apps coming soon! Any suggestions or requests for what the next one should be?
Justin Diamond🧢
I really love the example apps on the site! Sharing this with my friends in web development :)
David Miranda
@justindiamondhq Thank you Justin! I got them done just in time! Luckily Remake helped speed up the development process there 😉
Jim Raptis
A wonderful product by David. The easiest way to create a fully functional web app and launch your product quickly! Wish you all the best with your launch 🚀
David Miranda
@draptis Thank you Jim! That means a lot. I'm looking forward to following more of your amazing launches!
Kai Oelfke
After playing with the product I send some feedback to @panphora and he got back to me quickly with code for my demo idea as well as some new features in Remake to make it possible. And he did all that in less then 24h after my feedback even though he was busy preparing for this launch. I’m curious how Remake will further develop as it has a lot of potential for quick prototyping, MVPs and simple web apps.
David Miranda
@panphora @kaioelfke Thank you for trying it out. I will endeavor to improve the framework a lot over the coming year!
Konrad
big + for open sourcing it! looks promising, definitely will check it out.
David Miranda
@konisupertramp Thank you Konrad. Open source is very important to me. I hate vendor lock-in and I love the idea that when everyone shares their ideas, everyone does better.
Martin Šošić
Great job, I love the approach and how simple you made it to make a web app! Which use cases would you say that Remake fits best right now? What kind of project would it be a good fit for?
David Miranda
@martin_sosic Hi Martin, thank you for asking — I have a full list of ideas you can build with Remake here: https://ideas.remaketheweb.com/ as well as a full blog post about this topic here: https://blog.remaketheweb.com/in... As we add features, however, you'll be able to build even more powerful collaborative apps and games.
