AppCannon Release Notes - Version 0.1.0

We are excited to announce the initial release of AppCannon, a powerful tool that generates full-stack web applications from a simple YAML specification file. This release marks the beginning of our journey to simplify and accelerate web application development using AI-powered code generation.

Features

  • YAML-based App Generation: Create complete web applications from a concise YAML specification file.
  • Flexible Stack Support:
    • Frontend: Generate frontend code for various frameworks (default: HTMX with Tailwind CSS).
    • Backend: Support for multiple backend languages and frameworks (default: Flask/Python3).
    • Database: Integration with various databases (default: SQLite).
  • AI-Powered Code Generation: Leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to create production-ready code.
  • Project Structure: Automatically organizes generated code into a clean and maintainable project structure.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Generates a detailed README.md file for each created application.
  • Command-Line Interface: Easy-to-use CLI for specifying project details and generation options.

Getting Started

To use AppCannon, follow these steps:

  1. Install

    pip install appcannon

  2. Set up your API key as an environment variable:

    export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
# or if using Claude
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

  3. Run AppCannon with your YAML specification file:

    appcannon spec_file.yaml output_directory [options]

For more detailed information on usage and options, please refer to the README.md file in the project root.

Known Limitations

  • Limited testing on complex application structures.
  • May require manual adjustments for highly specific or unusual project requirements.
  • Performance may vary depending on the complexity of the YAML specification.
