Ask HN: Has anyone used Devin for web-dev?

17 points by vsroy 2 days ago

I'm thinking of purchasing the Devin subscription, so I can give it screenshots of a web-app, and have it just implement the flows. But ... I don't know if it will be capable of doing so.

Has anyone used Devin for this type of thing?

I have not used Devin. But from what I gather from the reviews, Cursor + Composer/Agent will take you a little further than Devin will, for a lot less money. Neither will take you where you expect/want to be. You will still have to do some/a lot of the work yourself.

I think https://www.tempolabs.ai/ (YC S23) might be closer to what you're looking for.

    Is it normal that I can't scroll at all on either their homepage or their product hunt page? Other sites work fine.

    Using Chrome on Android with Adguard.

They are all wrappers around GPT-4/Claude. If you don't know what you and the AI is doing, you will not get anywhere. If you know what you are doing, you'll probably just use a regular editor with an AI auto complete.

For others, like me, who don't know what Devin is: Devin is apparently like GitHub Copilot and Cursor IDE.

learn programming before using devin it doesn't make websites but just simple instructions, you need to know what you're making.
