Ship the spec, not the code. An AI builds the app.
About Almanac Seed
Almanac Seed revolutionizes app development by enabling users to ship specifications instead of code. It allows teams to craft detailed, Figma-style design-review apps through a single markdown file called SEED.md. This file describes everything from pin comments on live HTML designs to threaded discussions, presence indicators, and AI review APIs. Once the spec is complete, Almanac Seed's AI-powered engine automatically builds, verifies, and deploys a fully functional instance of the app directly into the user's environment. This approach minimizes traditional coding, accelerates prototyping, and promotes a clear intent-driven development process. Ideal for designers, product managers, and developers seeking rapid, accurate app creation from specifications, Almanac Seed's open-source nature and focus on the SEED format make it a flexible, collaborative tool in modern design and development workflows.
