So we built Codecannon. It’s a web app where you define your data models, columns, and relationships, and it generates a full-stack application for you.
To be clear, the code isn't AI-generated. It's produced deterministically by our own code generators, so the output is always predictable, clean, and follows conventional best practices.
The key difference from other tools is that it’s not a no-code platform you get locked into. When you're done, it pushes a well-structured codebase to your GitHub repo (or you can download a .zip file). You own it completely and can start building your real features on top of it right away.
What it generates: - Laravel Backend: Migrations, models with relationships, factories, seeders, and basic CRUD API endpoints.
- Vue Frontend: A SPA with PrimeVue components. It includes auth pages, data tables, and create/edit forms for each of your models, with all the state management wired up.
- Dev Stuff: Docker configs, a CI/CD pipeline starter, linters, and formatters are all included.
The idea is to skip the repetitive work and get straight to the interesting parts of a project.
It's free to use the builder, see a live preview, and download the full codebase for apps up to 5 modules. For larger apps, you only pay if you decide you want the source code.We’re in an early alpha and would love to get some honest feedback from the community. Does the generated code look sensible? Are we missing any obvious features? Is this something you would find useful or know anyone who might? Let me know what you think.
The author introduces Codecannon, a tool that generates a clean codebase for Vue+Laravel projects, and seeks feedback from the community on its usefulness and generated code quality.
