Show HN: I built a Code Generator for Laravel/PHP

vemto.app

My company is using this to build a large CRM for a client. It's great so far! Nicely done. We started using it a few months back so we didn't have all the nice recent additions. I'm looking forward to editing scaffolds and tweaking some of the templates. I will definitely use this again in the future. I wish the canvas view was a little more sophisticated (keyboard/mouse zoom, items being added in the middle of the screen) but otherwise it works

I used Vemto for a new app recently and it was a pleasure.

There are other schema designer tools that will output your models as Eloquent code, but none of them handle the inevitable "we added a new model and want to associate it with an existing model". Vemto does support that, and it is setup to work alongside your codebase when the time comes to add new stuff.

You can use as little or as much of the code and UI generator stuff as you'd like.

I rarely comment on here, but this has been my experience with Vemto as well. I've been using it to scaffold ideas quickly and it's nice to have the boilerplate handled so you handle the more important logic to test feasibility.

Looks quite a bit like spam to me. Zero-Info generic landing page, and just praise in the first few comments. Accounts from 2014 with 4 karma praising it ...?

wouldn't spam accounts be new? could just be their friend ;)

How is that page zero-info? It clearly explains what the product does. Also:

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

I've been keeping tabs on the developer for a while, wondering whether to buy the app. I ended up buying it a few days ago when the promotional pricing was expiring.

At the moment I'll probably only use it for scaffolding models and relationships in new Laravel projects, but the developer does put a lot of work into it if you check out their profile.

However, I've not actually tried it on any projects yet so I can't comment on how well it works other than initial impressions.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "Zero-Info generic landing page". Did you try scrolling the landing page to read it?

About the comments, I believe some of the software users decided to comment. Only that.

"Vemto: A Laravel Studio and Code Generator

Vemto is a Desktop Application that will power the way you start new Laravel Projects."

With screenshots and a full list of features.

Was there something that left you confused?

I think agencies are going to love this.

It’s a desktop app. But for which OS/OSes?

Yes... it is for Windows, macOS and Linux

Looks awesome. Would love to see something like this for Django or Flask.
