hi @nhussein11 👋🏻

the diff:

  • multi framework choice (react/vue)
  • multi sdk choice (dedot/papi)
  • reach MVP faster with vibe coding. no cli required. could help onboard non-technical people. demo. hhmm, maybe i think i should put this somewhere in this docs 🤔

soon:

  • embedded wallet for solidity templates (wip)
  • ink! smart contracts (wip)
