The UI is very well built! Love the details too— from the line additions/deletions live counter while the AI is generating code, to the logo that points towards your cursor.

I had the opposite reaction. seems like a cheap knockoff of v0, just styled worse. Even the name. (at least the name v0 makes sense).

Kind of put me off of using the product because it seemed like they just put "Build me a v0 clone with distracting animations" into v0.dev

> seems like a cheap knockoff of v0

I can't count the number of great creations that started as a "cheap knockoffs" of something else.

> Even the name.

"A" for app? Even if it didn't make sense (and I think it does) it's short, memorable, and "making sense" wouldn't matter. Didn't stop "Venmo", "Snowflake", or "Apple" haha

Don't be too committed to your taste in UI/Names. You might miss out on good products like this one
