Solo founder. No engineering team. A production-ready food delivery app. Rajesh built ZingoEats with Draftbit. What made the difference for him: → API integrations handled inside the platform → Granular control over the design → Custom code + API documentation: "once I mastered those, my development speed doubled"

Idea → MVP, faster than expected. Arnaud wanted an app for discovering fun things to do in Marseille. The hard part: getting from concept to prototype. With Draftbit he built the MVP "much faster than I expected."

A Hono API backend in Draftbit, start to finish: → New app → API Backend (Hono) → Database: managed Supabase, Cloudflare D1, or external Postgres → The builder reads your OpenAPI doc and turns the canvas into an API console → Pre-filled path, query, headers and body → Send → JSON response → Copy as cURL, plus request logs and generated API docs Release notes: draftbit.com/whats-new/proje…

New in Draftbit: automatic app backups. → Draftbit checks your app once a day and backs it up only if the code changed, so no duplicate copies → Need a copy right now? "Back up now" works even mid-edit → Every backup is a downloadable zip of your source code, one per branch → Restore by importing the zip as a new app (your original stays untouched) Your latest backup is always kept while your plan includes backups.
Your app's code, backed up daily. Screenshot of the Draftbit Backups page with a manual and a scheduled backup, each downloadable as a zip per branch.

New in Draftbit: Connect repo. Your GitHub repository stays the source of truth. Draftbit works right inside it: → Saving in the builder commits straight to the branch you choose → No migration, and Draftbit doesn't rewrite your project to fit its conventions → Monorepo? Point it at a folder like apps/mobile → Someone pushed to main outside Draftbit? Hit Sync and keep going → Connect with the Draftbit GitHub App, or a fine-grained token if you prefer You still get chat, code edits and a live preview. Import copies your code into Draftbit. Connect repo keeps it where it already lives.
Your repo stays the source of truth. Draftbit project page with Connect repo, Import app and Add app buttons, next to the Connect your GitHub repository dialog offering GitHub App or access token.

Draftbit builds backends now, too. 🔌 Pick an API Backend (Hono), choose your database — managed Supabase, Cloudflare D1, or your own Postgres — and let the agent build it. There's no UI to preview, so the builder swaps the canvas for an API console: → reads your OpenAPI doc and lists every endpoint → pre-fills path, query, header and body → sends the request with your dev key → Copy as cURL → request logs + generated API docs, right alongside

Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol are now live in Draftbit — the new defaults for Claude Code and Codex. 🚀 ⚡ Opus 5.5: 40% cheaper to run and 30%+ faster than Opus 5 (savings vary by task) 🎯 GPT-6 Sol: about half the factual mistakes of GPT-5.6 Sol 💸 GPT-6 Luna: beats GPT-5.6 Sol for a tenth of the cost Which one are you trying first?

File edits in Draftbit used to take 3–10 seconds. Now they land in under 500 ms — up to 20× faster. ⚡ That's every edit: yours in the code editor and the agent's. Less waiting on your tools, more building.
File edits in Draftbit: before 3–10 seconds (crossed out), now under 500 milliseconds — up to 20× faster.

“I wasted hours fixing code I didn't even write.” James, founder of the Studiy app, kept hitting walls every time he added a feature. After switching to Draftbit, he shipped 3 new features in one week — with clean code he could actually understand.
