Hey Product Hunt 👋 this is Eldad from the Appwrite team, and we're very excited to launch Imagine today.
We built Imagine because we believe software creation shouldn’t be limited to people who already know how to code, set up infrastructure, or glue together dozens of tools just to get something working.
With Imagine, you can go from an idea to a real product in minutes, whether that’s a prototype, a landing page, an internal tool, or a full app you want to share with the world. Just describe what you want to build, and Imagine helps you create real working products.
Imagine is the alternative to Lovable, Supabase, and Vercel, in a single platform.
That means no need to:
- Integrate multiple vendors
- Manage multiple subscriptions
- Worry about security across a scattered stack
With Imagine, you can go from prompt → working app, and still have the fundamentals builders care about: a real backend, real data, real auth, real deployments, without the glue code and setup overhead.
Imagine is built on top of Appwrite’s cloud infrastructure, so it’s designed for builders who want to move fast, but still want things like security, scalability, and production-ready foundations from day one.
We’d love your feedback. We’re here all day to help you answer any questions!
Try it. Break it. Build something real with it.

@eldad_fux Amazing work! Really a breath of fresh air in all the ai tool noise!
Appwrite
@eldad_fux honestly, using Imagine has been such a game-changer. Excited for others to try it too!
Appwrite
@jade_baudchon Some of your demos with it have been mind blowing!!
Appwrite
@eldad_fux Loving using an AI builder that actually produces production ready code.
Imagine
@eldad_fux Love the focus on making product creation simpler and more accessible. Really looking forward to the feedbacks and conversations today
Appwrite
@eldad_fux Quality of web app after first prompt is just insane. I built multiple projects with Imagine and it never stops to surprise me with UI/UX ideas I never had in my original prompt. And they are great!
Looks promising! Is there a way to lock or freeze certain layers like schema, auth rules or infra so AI changes don't accidently break them later?
Imagine
Thanks for your interest@lak7! We've seen thousands of apps generated so far and have not yet seen this type of behavior. We have a dedicated agent to Cloud resource provisioning that only gets to work when needed. Regardless, you can always revert your code to a prior version which will also restore the infrastructure to that state. Give it a go and let us know how you like it!
Appwrite
@lak7 @arielweinberger following up with Ariel's comment, we also have built in backup functionality and soon we also plan to add a way to export your entire project to Appwrite Cloud or to a self hosted Appwrite instance which also give you 100% control and zero vendor locking.
@arielweinberger @eldad_fux makes sense, thanks for clarification. I gave it a try and the UI and overall ease of use feel very solid. Also console, network and server tabs are actually very useful at the bottom. Excited to build more with it.
Appwrite
@arielweinberger @lak7 Glad you like it so far! We're happy to help if you have any other questions or more feedback 🖤

@madzadev Thank you so much Madza! It always means a lot from coming from you.
Your support of us has been amazing since day 1 ♥️

@curiouskitty Great question! We took a unique approach where we don't do "dev mode" the traditional way developers do it. As a developer, you usually code in development mode where you can make changes and see them live on your screen. This is great for fast iteration locally, but one downside of this approach is that you need to wait for areas of your code to hydrate to see errors if there are any.
We solve this problem in a few ways:
We have our own custom build flow (based on Vite, built with Rust) that ensure builds are ultra fast (less than two seconds). This allows us to run a full build and type check for every change. This eliminates the vast majority of bugs.
Even with build-time efforts to reduce broken code, runtime errors can still happen. As we encounter those, we have a pipeline that adds custom linting rules that are used as-needed. This further reduces the chance for code smells and runtime bad practices.
Our sandboxes have a proprietary diagnostics server that performs checks on every file write, ensuring checks happen on the fly quickly before generation is even done, allowing the AI to self-correct before considering the job done. You will sometimes see this indicated as "Fixing errors..." in the workspace state.
When errors do occur, Imagine is fully aware of logs across all surfaces. This includes client-side logs, server-side logs, and network errors. This really helps troubleshoot issues fast.
We allow you to revert back to older versions. Since we define every app's infra using Appwrite infrastructure-as-code, reverts apply to infrastructure as well. No state drift.
QA agent is in the works - it will know your app, be able to use it, and catch the bugs on a separate branch before finalizing your change. Stay tuned!
Let me know if you have any questions!

This could be a game-changer for solo founders or designers who want prototypes that actually work.”
Appwrite
@abod_rehman Exactly. When we started building Appwrite our mission was to empower developers. With Imagine we just want to empower - empower everyone.
Imagine
@abod_rehman I'd go ahead and say you can build fully functional apps for all the things you never had the time for previously! There's a lot of power to this. For many, it can be more than just a prototype!
Imagine
@abod_rehman Thanks! Bias aside, that’s the goal, real, working prototypes. I’ve already built a few personal tools with Imagine and it’s become my default.
having backend, auth and deployment all in one place is the real value here. jumping between lovable and supabase and vercel gets messy fast even for simple projects.
can you eject the code if you want to move off the platform later or is it locked in?
Appwrite
@topfuelauto zero vendor-locking. You can export your code at any point in time and use Appwrite Cloud or your own self-hosted Appwrite instance (100% open source) with it to continue your project on your own terms.
Appwrite
@topfuelauto yes, Imagine lets you download the codebase of your project.
Appwrite
@topfuelauto 100% this!

Does it also support creating smartphone apps?
Appwrite
@busmark_w_nika Currently, it supports only web apps. However, supporting mobile apps is a part of our long-term vision.
Appwrite
@busmark_w_nika not just yet, but definitely something we have on our roadmap!
