Community Voice & Feedback
the deterministic-not-AI angle for getting hover states and interactions right is genuinely a smart technical choice. but pointing this at any public URL and getting back a componentized clone is exactly the kind of thing that gets a cease and desist fast if someone points it at a competitor's site instead of their own. is there any guardrail around cloning a site you don't own, or is that entirely on the user to sort out themselves?
the deterministic angle is what caught me. most of these tools hand the page to a model and you get something different every run. curious how it holds up on messy sites where the css is basically soup. also glad you shipped an mcp server, that's honestly how i'd use this
The componentization is what got me, not just the clone but the fact that tokens and hover states come through intact. That level of fidelity on the interaction layer usually takes weeks of cleanup work.
Pointed it at my portfolio site and got back surprisingly clean component code with the hover states actually working. The deterministic part is no joke, second run matched the first exactly. Solid open source move with the REST API included too.
pulled up a couple of sites and the generated next code was honestly way cleaner than i expected, like the component split actually made sense and not just a wall of divs
The deterministic output is such a smart call, makes the whole thing feel reliable instead of just another flaky scraper. Love that the components and tokens come through intact.
the fact that hover states and interaction details actually make it into the generated components is such a thoughtful touch. so many site cloner tools strip those out and you're left with static-looking pages
Love how fast and clean the output is, especially that it keeps hover states intact. One thing that would make this even better is letting me diff the generated code against the live site as it changes, so I can spot regressions during maintenance without having to rebuild from scratch.
HELL YES!!!
@samraaj_bath1 Congrats on open sourcing this! For a marketing site with a few dozen pages, does Ditto crawl and clone the whole site graph in one pass, or is it strictly one URL at a time and I'd need to loop it myself? That can change the real time/API cost of an actual migration job!
The deterministic angle is the smart differentiator here, most "clone a site to code" tools lean on an LLM and you get a slightly different result every run, which makes them impossible to trust in a real workflow. Fast, cheap, and consistent is a much better pitch. Capturing tokens and hover/interaction states rather than just static markup is also the part people usually skip and then regret. The free REST API + MCP server plus open source is a generous combo. Curious how it handles sites that lean heavily on runtime JS rendering. Congrats on shipping!
Congrats team, generous move open-sourcing this! My use case is probably the boring one: our own site. We’re on a hosted builder and the lock-in itch is real. You mention an editable content model, so if I point Ditto at our own CMS-driven marketing site, does repeated content (blog cards, testimonials) come out as mapped data I can actually edit in one place, or as hardcoded sections I’d untangle by hand? If it’s the former, this is a genuine escape hatch from website builder lock-in and that’s worth a lot more than cloning competitors.
Hello!That's a very interesting idea. How do you handle the issue of accessibility?
deterministic output is the part that sells me. every other site-to-code tool spits out something different each run, so you can never trust it in a real workflow. clean componentized next/vite plus open source is a genuinely useful combo, not just a demo.
the deterministic angle is the part that stands out to me, most "clone a site" tools I've tried lean on an AI guess and you get slightly different output every run. one thing I didn't see covered in the thread yet: if the source site gets updated after I've cloned it, is there a way to re-sync or diff against the new version, or is this meant to be a one-time snapshot you then own and diverge from?
