The Search for a 'YouTube' for AI-Coded Web Apps and Prompt Sharing

May 27, 2025

The quest for a centralized hub for AI-generated web applications, much like YouTube serves for video content, was recently posed by a user. The envisioned platform would offer a multifaceted experience:

  • Direct Usage: Users could run AI-coded web apps directly within the site.
  • Prompt Transparency: The prompts used to generate these web apps would be visible.
  • Collaborative Forking: Users could 'fork' these prompts to adapt and build upon existing creations.
  • On-Site Generation: The platform would allow users to generate new web apps using their preferred AI models.

Responses and Suggestions

The discussion, while concise, yielded a few distinct responses:

  • A Direct Answer: One commenter pointed directly to websim.com, stating it is 'exactly that' – a platform seemingly fitting the original poster's description.
  • Alternative for Prompt Sharing (with a caveat): Another user suggested Twitter as a place to share 'amazing prompts,' which others could then copy-paste. This suggestion was accompanied by a critical remark about the platform's broader content environment, implying it serves as a general-purpose tool rather than a dedicated, curated space for AI web apps and prompts.
  • Clarification Needed: A third comment simply stated, 'I have no idea what you're asking,' indicating that the concept, while clear to some, might be novel or not yet widely understood.

This exchange underscores an emerging interest in dedicated platforms for the rapidly growing field of AI-generated web applications. While websim.com was offered as a potential existing solution, the variety of responses suggests the space is still developing and the ideal 'YouTube for AI web apps' might still be an evolving concept.
