## What it is
Napkins.dev is an open-source web application that turns screenshots or wireframes of website designs into working React + Tailwind code using the Kimi K2.5 vision LLM via Together AI. It is built with Next.js, uses Sandpack for in-browser code sandboxes, and stores uploaded images in S3.

## Use cases
- turn a wireframe screenshot into a react app
- generate code from a website design image
- screenshot to code generator
- convert ui mockup to tailwind components
- self-host an ai app builder from design images
- prototype frontend from a napkin sketch

## When to choose
- you want to self-host an open-source screenshot-to-code tool
- you want to generate React + Tailwind frontends from design images
- you want a reference app for building AI code-generation products with Together AI

## When to avoid
- you need production-quality, pixel-perfect generated code without manual fixes
- you need to edit generated apps iteratively with prompts (planned but not implemented)
- you cannot provide a Together AI API key or S3 bucket
- you need a mobile-optimized experience
