kemyd··on Show HN: Paste a URL and watch multiple AI models redesign it side-by-side
Hey! Yes, we use leading AI providers for website generation. All license tiers include the same daily limits for AI requests. If you can't wait, you can purchase additional AI tokens.

We offer lifetime licenses, which we treat as a source of capital to continue developing Shuffle. Some people see that as a potential downside, but we see it differently. It allows us to maintain full control over Shuffle's direction.

The Shuffle Editor has been on the market for over six years, and the majority of our customers use subscription plans (monthly or annual).

AI Website Redesign is a supporting tool for Shuffle. You can use it to explore different design directions without ever opening the Shuffle Editor, but I don't expect that to be the main use case.

Most users start with Shuffle here: https://shuffle.dev/new

kemyd··on Show HN: Live AI Design Benchmark
Each result includes a unique, shareable link with an open-graph preview. If you're proud of what you've built, feel free to share it with others.

My guess is they had to sell to keep the lights on (similar to Windsurf).

They’re reportedly at ~$100M ARR, implying about $8.3–8.5M in monthly revenue (ARR = last month * 12).

At the same time, they claim to have processed 147T+ tokens. For context, pricing that volume on something like Sonnet 4.5 would come out to roughly $500M in API costs. They likely offset a chunk of that with open models, but for higher-quality outputs, they’re still paying meaningful amounts to Claude / OpenAI / Google.

Hard to make those numbers work without a lot of capital or an exit.

kemyd··on Show HN: Design inspirations on an infinite wall of UI Components
Hey! The components you’re seeing come from the libraries included in our tool. Each UI library typically has around 10 variations of a feature in a coherent style, such as hero sections or pricing, but with different UX. If you want to explore more, you can use CMD+F to quickly search for sets by name (try searching 'Zospace' as an example). This way, you’ll uncover more options to work with.
kemyd··on Show HN: Design inspirations on an infinite wall of UI Components
Thanks! The wall is one of the supporting tools for Shuffle. You can browse freely and find inspiration without an account. If you want to go further, Shuffle lets you modify components visually and export them in the CSS frameworks we support (Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, etc.).
kemyd··on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
Noted that! The editing capabilities are impressive. I was excited for image gen because of the API (Midjourney doesn't have it yet).
kemyd··on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
I tested it with two prompts:

// In this one, Gemini doesn't understand what "cinematic" is

"A cinematic underwater shot of a turtle gracefully swimming in crystal-clear water [...]"

// In this one, the reflection in the water in the background has different buildings

"A modern city where raindrops fall upward into the clouds instead of down, pedestrians calmly walking [...]"

Midjourney created both perfectly.

kemyd··on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
Thanks for clarifying this. That makes a lot more sense.
kemyd··on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
I don't get the hype. Tested it with the same prompts I used with Midjourney, and the results are worse than in Midjourney a year ago. What am I missing?
kemyd··on Critcl – C Runtime in Tcl
Not contributing much to the discussion, but thanks for explaining who still uses Tcl. It was my first programming language about 20 years ago (I used it to write scripts for Eggdrop - an IRC bot). Just stopped by the comments out of nostalgia.
kemyd··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)
https://shuffle.dev

For the last few weeks, we have been working on catching up on features for vibe coders (prompt -> project), but now we are back to our strengths (visual editor and new beautiful UI libraries for Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and more).

We realized there are just too many apps for vibe coders, and it would be better to work on something unique that we are really good at!

kemyd··on Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
Great job! Can you share where the codebase prompts are listed? Maybe it is a valuable thing to learn
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
I'm sorry, but this is not possible. UI Library Creator works with Tailwind CSS, and we will add support for Bootstrap later. We don't have a plan to support custom frameworks. We need to know the framework "structure" to make this tool work. :)
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
It's an "ad" for our tool that helps build websites in many styles at once (60+ libraries we have in Shuffle). I'll ask our designer to make it less irritating. ;)

We have used the term "components" for a long time. Some call them "sections" or "blocks". Still, I think "component" is a valid name, and many websites with components/sections/blocks use it.

kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Hey,

Thank you for your feedback.

1. The "Shuffle Styles" changes everything except tabs with a padlock icon. You can lock settings you like and then keep shuffling.

2. Shuffle is our main product (check https://shuffle.dev/new). Until now, we have only had UI libraries we created ourselves. You can adjust them to your needs in the editor, but the UI Library Creator is a tool to create libraries we don't have.

3. Can you tell me more about this "intrusive ad"? Probably, I didn't understand it correctly.

4. UI Libraries are sets of components grouped into categories, like headers, pricing, etc. For example, you can view components of Saturn Library: https://shuffle.dev/components/all/saturn

5. Assets and Copy are last because they are not this tool's "killer feature"- Styles are. :) However, when creating a UI library, it is best to lock them at the beginning so you can focus on styles, not texts and images.

Appreciate engagement with a longer comment! Thanks

kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
We are probably the small exception in the SaaS business that keeps adding stuff but does not charge old users for it. ;) Thanks for supporting us in 2021.
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Great! Appreciate that :)
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
We have discussed the freemium approach, but for now, you need an account to use all options. (However, you can still build a UI Library without an account and see if it's the tool for you)
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Thanks for reporting! I can't find it right now, but if it exists, it will be fixed soon :)
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Thanks!
kemyd··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Thank you for your kind words! We are now a team of eight, and I thank you on behalf of them all. :)
kemyd··on Show HN: Chat-based web template builder fuelled by ChatGPT
Everyone is adding it, and we did it too. :)

We have good reasons and a good match with this beautiful and powerful technology.

The Shuffle catalog includes 50 UI libraries for Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Bulma, and Material-UI. It could be overwhelming to choose the best one for the next project.

Shuffle Assistant is the answer to this issue.

I will be happy to answer questions!

kemyd··on Show HN: Can you tell if an image is AI-generated?
Yes, the person will have more than five fingers
kemyd··on Show HN: Alternatives – A website builder that returns many pages/styles at once
Hey!

Once again, we re-imagined how to build websites visually.

You or your client only sometimes know instantly in which style you want the website. We build Alternatives to help you make those decisions.

Select the components (functionalities) you need, and we'll return many pages in different styles.

Navigate using arrows (left/right) for a faster preview.

It works with Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and Bulma.

Have fun! :)

kemyd··on Tailwind CSS v3.0
I'm the founder of Shuffle, and Tailwind CSS is one of the technologies we support:

1. https://shuffle.dev/editor

2. https://shuffle.dev/components/tailwind

3. https://shuffle.dev/setup

The tool is paid, but we have many free components/layouts more than Bootstrap docs.

kemyd··on Show HN: Randomly create beautiful website layouts
We're bootstrapping our SaaS, and all resources are precious. We can't build niche solutions and that's why we focus on the most popular frameworks. If we find a popular framework that is "minimalist, text-focused, animation-free, accessibility-friendly" we may consider adding it.

PS. Thanks for adding us!

If we're ever looking for investors, we'll throw something about AI into the PowerPoint. ;)
kemyd··on Show HN: Randomly create beautiful website layouts
We add new UI libraries every month, and we will create them in different styles, for sure. At the moment, Cronos UI may be closest to the style you're looking for: https://shuffle.dev/components/all/cronos/headers
