Let me start with a familiar feeling.
You’ve got an idea. The kind that wakes you up at 2 a.m. because you can already see it working. You grab your laptop, open your editor, spin up a new project... and within twenty minutes, you’re knee-deep in setup.
Folders. Config files. Auth. Routing.
And just like that, the spark fades into “I’ll get back to it later.”
That’s what happens to most ideas. Not because they weren’t good — but because the process of starting got in the way of building.
That moment right there is why we built Meku.
The Problem That Wouldn’t Go Away
I’ve used almost every “instant app builder” that’s come out in the past few years. The promise is always the same: type a prompt, get a working app.
And to be fair, they deliver something fast.
But open the code, and it’s chaos.
Nested components inside random folders. Inline logic. Styling that breaks when you breathe near it.
You end up with something that runs but can’t grow.
Developers don’t just want speed.
We want control. We care about structure, clarity, and ownership.
We want to know what’s happening under the hood, because that’s where trust comes from.
And yet, almost every tool out there seems to treat code like a side effect.
That’s when I realized... maybe it’s not the developers who need to change. Maybe it’s the tools.
Building Meku
We built Meku because we wanted an AI App builder that actually understood how developers work.
Something that could move fast without breaking everything that matters.
Meku doesn’t replace your craft. It respects it.
You tell it what you want, and it builds a real React and Tailwind project.
Production-ready. Modular. Clean.
Something you can actually deploy, version, and scale.
It’s not about skipping code. It’s about skipping the repetition.
The boring setup work that steals your momentum and makes side projects feel like chores.
Meku takes care of that, so you can get back to the part that made you fall in love with development in the first place — creating.
What We Learned Along the Way
Here’s the thing we’ve learned building Meku.
Developers don’t mind complexity. We mind clutter.
We don’t hate writing code.
We hate rewriting setup code for the hundredth time.
And if AI can help us cut through the clutter without taking away our control, that’s not automation — that’s amplification.
That’s why Meku integrates with tools you already use.
Supabase for backend.
GitHub for version control.
React and Tailwind for the front-end.
You’re not building inside some closed ecosystem.
You’re building software that’s yours.
What Meku Really Is
Meku isn’t a no-code tool. It’s not another AI playground.
It’s a new way of thinking about building — where AI handles the groundwork, but you stay in charge of the foundation.
Every project is deployable, editable, and fully exportable.
You can host it anywhere.
You can fork it, modify it, break it, rebuild it.
You own it. Completely.
That’s the kind of freedom we wanted as developers, and it’s what we built into Meku from day one.
The Future We See
We’re building toward something bigger than an app builder.
We’re building toward a world where developers can move from idea to deployment in minutes, not hours.
Where AI isn’t an abstract assistant but a real collaborator — one that helps you think faster, build smarter, and stay creative longer.
Because the truth is, developers don’t need another shortcut. We need leverage.
And that’s what Meku is.
A way to get your ideas out faster, without sacrificing the craftsmanship that makes them great.
Why It Matters
Every tool we’ve ever loved as developers made us feel more capable.
Git. React. Tailwind. VS Code.
They didn’t take power away. They gave it back.
That’s the legacy we want Meku to join.
It’s not just about AI writing code.
It’s about AI finally understanding how developers build.
If that sounds like something you’ve been waiting for, maybe it’s time to give Meku a try.

Final Thought
Ideas deserve better than to die in setup.
If you’ve ever had one that did, you already understand why we built Meku.
Because we’re not here to replace developers.
We’re here to make sure their ideas never get stuck in SaaS boilerplate again.
