Self-hosted AI app builders

This cluster comprises self-hosted AI app builders that convert text prompts into full-stack web applications, bundling hosting, database, authentication, and often visual editing. Dated entries are sparse: one each in Aug and Sep 2025, then a gap until May 2026, followed by one in May, two in June, and one in July 2026, suggesting an early period then renewed activity in mid-2026. On traction, sandboxd leads with 941 stars, far ahead of ai-app-builder-open (55) and lovable-alternative (2).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
