Live workspace
Code, chat, and preview in one place.
The workspace is built for repeated product work, not disposable demos. Every generated file stays inspectable, every change is visible, and every follow-up can target the exact part of the app you care about.
01 · EDITOR
Generated code, ready to edit.
Every file BYOB writes stays visible and editable. Follow-ups target the exact lines you care about instead of regenerating from scratch.

Prompt to app
From first prompt to a workspace you can ship.
Start conversationally, approve the shape, let Tool Mode implement, then refine and deploy from the same workspace.
- 01 Describe the product Start with the outcome, audience, and any constraints. BYOB turns the idea into a practical build plan.
- 02 Shape the UX Review the proposed flows, screens, data needs, and visual direction before code starts moving.
- 03 Generate the app Tool Mode writes SvelteKit code, connects integrations, and keeps each change visible in preview.
- 04 Test and refine Ask for edits, roll back when needed, run checks, and keep the project editable instead of disposable.
- 05 Deploy Ship the finished app, connect domains, and keep iterating from the same workspace.
Agent and backend
Code with your agent, ship with a real backend.
Connect Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity to your project, then store data and ship to production without leaving the workspace.

Loved by builders
Rated 4.9/5 by developers and founders using BYOB to move from idea to shipped product.
Built for shipping
The parts that usually slow you down are already here.
BYOB handles product planning, implementation, preview, testing, database work, and deployment from one focused interface, with coding-agent access and production analytics when you want to keep working from your own terminal.
This part is hands-on. The cards drift until you touch them. Drag to rearrange, or press and hold one to feel it push back.
Agent integrations
Give Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity scoped access through BYOB CLI or Agent MCP. Your agent reads context, edits code, tests previews, and deploys from your terminal.
Git history and diffs
Every change lands as a commit. Inspect history, compare diffs, and see exactly what changed since the last deploy.
Inbox in every project
Every project ships with an inbox. Collect messages, leads, and feedback from your app without wiring a third party.
Email sending built in
Send magic links, OTP codes, and transactional mail from your own sender address. Resend-backed, no SMTP setup.
Google and magic-link login
Offer Continue with Google plus passwordless email codes. Sessions and callbacks are handled.
Custom domains and SSL
Point your domain at BYOB with guided DNS checks. Certificates are automatic.
Visual editing
Click any element in the live preview and describe the change. Copy, spacing, color, behavior.
AI testing agent
Run full-site or feature checks and get implementation-level feedback you can apply in one step.
Version rollback
Step between saved states or redeploy a known commit when an experiment goes sideways.
One-click deploy
Builds publish to production hosting in one step. Deploys can auto-save the project state first.
Deployment analytics
Worker traffic, errors, CPU timing, subrequests, and custom-domain status from the workspace.
Supabase aware
Connect Supabase and BYOB reads schemas, drafts migrations, and generates types that match your app.
Team collaboration
Invite people in and keep sessions coordinated so work never overwrites work.

BYOB builds a Chicago salon website from a prompt: service and price pages, a photo gallery of your work, stylist profiles and clear links to online booking. You publish on your own domain, update prices and photos yourself, and can add retail or gift-card pages when you are ready.
What clients check before booking a Chicago salon
A new client wants three things fast: can this stylist do the look I want, what will it cost, and how do I get an appointment. Put a gallery of recent work near the top, list services with starting prices, and keep a book-now button visible without hunting. BYOB generates that structure from a prompt, then gives you a visual editor so you can reorder sections after seeing how they perform on a real phone screen.
Booking without building a booking engine
Most Chicago salons already use a scheduling tool, and it is usually the right place to manage appointments. Link to it clearly from every service and from a sticky header button. If you would rather keep inquiries in-house, BYOB can generate a request form, store submissions in data storage and send a notification through the email broker. Either path keeps the site honest: it does not pretend to be a full booking system, it simply removes every reason not to book.
A gallery and price list clients trust
Before-and-after photos sell the service, but a clutter of mismatched images does the opposite. Generate a gallery grid with even crops and consistent sizing, grouped by service such as color, cuts, extensions or barbering. Pair it with a plain price list that states whether colour starts at a range and what a consultation costs. When clients arrive knowing the likely price, they book with fewer questions and fewer awkward surprises at the chair.
Neighborhood salons: Wicker Park to the Gold Coast
Chicago clients often stay local, and the search reflects it: a barbershop near Wicker Park, a blowout in the Gold Coast, nails in Lakeview, braids in Hyde Park. A page that names your neighborhood and the nearest CTA stop helps those searches land on you, and it tells out-of-area clients whether the trip is practical. If you run a second chair or a second storefront, give each its own page with separate hours and booking links rather than squeezing both into one address.
Retail products, gift cards and memberships
Many salons earn as much from product as from services. You can add a small retail page for the brands you carry, a gift-card page, or a membership offer such as a monthly blowout. Full checkout is not built into BYOB; for payments you connect a supported provider such as built-in payments, or link out to the retail platform you already use. What BYOB does well is present these offers in your own branding and capture the interest with a form.
Local search and reviews for Chicago salons
Salon discovery is overwhelmingly local, so a complete Google Business Profile and a steady flow of reviews do more than any clever copy. Ask happy clients to mention the stylist and neighborhood, and keep your hours current around holidays. On the site, include your full address, a map link and an accessible contact page. Fruitalytics can show whether visitors are reaching the booking link or dropping off at the price list, which tells you what to fix first.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update my prices and photos myself?
Yes. Services, prices and gallery images are all editable in the visual editor, so you can refresh the site after every change without a developer.
Does BYOB offer online booking?
Not as a native scheduling engine. Link to the booking tool you already use, or build a request form that saves appointments to data storage.
Can I sell gift cards or products?
You can present gift cards and products in your own branding and link to a checkout, or connect a supported payment provider such as built-in payments for online payment.
Is it suited to a single chair barber or a larger salon?
Both. A solo stylist can launch a site quickly, while a larger salon can add a page per location, per stylist or per service.
