From design spec to working code
The ideas and mechanics behind d-bye, explained for engineers.
An AI code generator that works, with code you own
AI app builders are fast, but the code often breaks and you can’t keep it. d-bye’s AI passes type checks and a compile check, and you export code you own.
Read →Build internal tools in-house and keep the code
Teams outgrow spreadsheets and get locked into SaaS. Here is how to build internal tools in-house fast, while keeping the code as your own asset.
Read →How to build a system in-house when short-staffed
Can’t hire, or running IT alone? Here’s how to compress design, build, and test so a small team can still build a real system in-house.
Read →Spec-driven development: design first, generate code
Spec-driven development means the design spec leads and code is generated from it. Here is why the spec should be the source of truth.
Read →What is a living design spec, and why use it?
A living design spec is a structured, machine-readable description of your app — and why d-bye treats it as the source of truth.
Read →No-code without lock-in: why code export matters
Many no-code tools trap your app inside their runtime. d-bye exports full source code — screens, APIs, database — you can read and deploy anywhere.
Read →From spec to working code: how d-bye generates apps
Describe your app in plain words, refine it as a structured spec, and export it as working source code. Here is the pipeline from intent to code.
Read →Approval workflows: out of email and spreadsheets
Purchase, travel, and contract approvals stuck in email and spreadsheets are hard to see and easy to break. See how a data-driven approval route replaces it.
Read →Get inventory off spreadsheets, into one system
A spreadsheet inventory count that never matches reality makes it hard to know what you have. See how a real stock-movement ledger and dashboard fix that.
Read →Move order management out of calls and Excel
When sales orders live in calls, faxes, and a spreadsheet, nobody can see what stage an order is at. See how a real status workflow fixes that.
Read →Stop letting inquiries live in one person’s inbox
When inquiries and responses live in individual inboxes, history disappears when that person leaves. See how a shared inquiry log fixes that.
Read →Get project cost and margin out of Excel
When a services business tracks hours and expenses in Excel, project margin is only visible after a day of reconciling. See how a real ledger fixes that.
Read →Move attendance off paper cards and Excel
Paper time cards and an Excel summary mean attendance data isn’t usable until month end. See how a real clock-in system fixes that.
Read →Deliver code your clients actually own
When a client’s app only runs inside a no-code platform, handoff breaks down when they switch vendors. See how exporting a full source tree avoids that.
Read →Deliver a client business app fast, from a template
Designing a client’s app from a blank page means re-deciding the same screens and data model every time. Starting from a template turns that into adjustment.
