Show HN: CodinIT, local open-source Lovable alternative (Electron desktop app)

Hi HN!

I left AWS a few months ago and created CodinIT, a local, open-source AI app builder made with remix + Electron.

The motivation: I tried one of the popular cloud-based AI app builders, but when I pulled down the app to run locally, it just didn’t work especially with the monthly costs needed to build something half decent without being limited.

So I created CodinIT, an app builder that runs fully on your computer, making it easy to switch between CodinIT and coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code.
