Clovr – Generate structured Next.js front ends from a prompt

Hi HN. I’m Alby. My cofounder Abdul and I are building Clovr.

We’ve been talking to backend-heavy founders and full-stack engineers who keep running into the same issue: the ideation stage to frontend setup is slow. Not necessarily tweaking UI, but scaffolding the initial layout system, routing, component structure, spacing scale, etc. It’s repetitive work but it can set the tone for everything that follows.

Most "vibe-design" tools we tested either generate mockups or output code that looks fine in a screenshot but isn’t structured in a way you’d want to extend.

Clovr’s current approach is to generate a structured Next.js project from a prompt. An actual scaffold with a consistent design system and readable components. The goal is to make the output something you’d actually commit and build on.

Right now it focuses on greenfield projects. We’re experimenting with:

- How opinionated the design system should be

- How much control to expose vs abstract

- What “ready to use” should mean for generated frontend code

It’s still early and we’re actively validating and refining the generation pipeline.

If you’re building frontends and this sounds interesting, there’s a small waitlist up!

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from people who ship real apps.
