What weweb.io does

WeWeb is a visual programming tool that allows you to build user interfaces on top of existing databases & auth systems. It allies the short learning curve of no-code with the freedom of code. CONTROL & FREEDOM - Build pixel-perfect frontends with drag-and-drop UI elements and no-code CSS properties but have the option to add custom code or import your own Vue.js components. CODE BEST PRACTICES - Follow development best practices by building components, global workflows and re-usable functions with no-code triggers and formulas with the option to add custom JS where needed. NO VENDOR LOCK-IN - WeWeb generates a standard PWA-ready Single Page Application and allows you to deploy your projects on your own infrastructure. Build in no-code, host on-premise.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

WeWeb is a no-code visual programming tool for building user interfaces. It lets users create pixel-perfect frontends with drag-and-drop UI and style controls, connecting to any backend database or auth system. You can add custom code or import Vue.js components to keep flexibility. Our product generates standard, PWA-ready SPAs deployable anywhere, avoiding lock-in.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked Paris because that's where the founders are based and where we have our engineering and growth team. We want to grow the business internationally from there without relocating.
