What NexusUI is

NexusUI is an open-source web tool that turns screenshots, UI mockups, and wireframes into editable React code styled with Tailwind CSS. Its agent pipeline can structure code for frameworks such as Next.js and split components automatically. A live interactive preview, powered by Sandpack, lets users edit TSX in the browser with Monaco and Sandpack. The preview can be resized to view mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts. Uploads accept PNG, JPG, and WEBP images up to 10 MB. Users can copy or export generated code into their own repository. The listed framework support includes React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript. Running NexusUI locally requires Node.js 18 or later and a valid Gemini API key; its documentation says API routes use the key server-side only. The site links to instructions for running it from its repository and lists [email protected] as a contact address.
