HatchIt - AI Website Builder with Real Code Export

HatchIt currently serves individual developers, small dev agencies, and technical founders who need to rapidly prototype and deploy production-grade websites. Since making the platform public in early January 2026, we've seen strong interest from the developer community on Reddit and GitHub, with developers particularly appreciating the "no vendor lock-in" approach. The platform is actively used by the founder for client work, validating real-world production use. As an early-stage product, we're focused on quality feedback over user count, currently working with select beta testers while refining core features. We're targeting 100-500 active developers within Q1 2026 as we scale based on early adopter insights.

HatchIt is built for three primary audiences: (1) Solo developers and freelancers who need to quickly build client websites while maintaining code ownership and professional quality standards; (2) Small development agencies (2-10 people) who want to accelerate their development workflow without sacrificing control or technical quality; (3) Technical founders building MVPs who need speed to market without getting locked into proprietary platforms. Primary pain point: existing AI website builders don't export real code, force users onto their platforms with subscription fees, and can't handle production requirements like authentication, databases, and custom deployment. HatchIt users benefit from 10-100x faster development while maintaining full code ownership, GitHub version control, and enterprise-grade infrastructure (Vercel, Supabase, Clerk) with zero configuration. Early feedback from the developer community shows particular appreciation for the combination of AI speed with code ownership—developers want velocity without vendor lock-in.
