I’ve been working on Magicnode — a visual platform to build AI-powered apps without writing code, and then share, embed, or monetize them. Think “Canva for AI apps”.
The idea came from repeatedly seeing friends and colleagues who had ideas for small AI tools (e.g., lead generation bots, TikTok content generators, onboarding assistants) but didn’t have the coding skills or time to build them. Existing no-code tools often require a steep learning curve or lots of manual integrations — we wanted something you could use in minutes, not hours.
With Magicnode you can:
Create an app by dragging blocks (prompts, APIs, UI components) on a canvas.
Share it instantly with a link, or embed it on a website.
Let others “remix” your app to make their own version.
Optionally publish to our public App Store for discoverability.
A few example apps made in Magicnode:
Podcast Summarizer → paste a link, get a 5-bullet summary.
Viral Caption Generator for TikTok videos.
Custom PDF Chatbot for onboarding docs.
We’d love feedback from the HN community, especially on:
Use cases you’d like to see pre-built.
Features we could add to make this useful for technical users.
Thoughts on our “remix” model for app virality.
You can try it here: https://magicnode.ai (no signup needed to test a demo).
Happy to answer all questions, and if anyone wants to build something together on Magicnode, I’d be excited to collaborate.
