I got tired of rebuilding the same components every time I wanted to try a new idea in Lovable, v0, or Bolt. I was burning time (and tokens) recreating what already existed.
So we built Stencil. A supercharged Copy & Paste for vibe coding. Capture elements from any webpage, store them in your own component library, and paste them straight into your favourite builder, ready to iterate on.
It’s already made my workflow way faster!
This feels like a huge productivity win for designers and developers — instantly copying UI components into prototypes could save hours of work. Love how Stencil bridges real web content with prototyping tools. Curious — does it preserve interactive states or just static designs?
That’s brilliant! How well does it preserve structure and responsiveness when pasting into tools like Lovable?
Cool idea. Does it build styles from scratch or copies the computed css from source?
This is great @grantmac_ - already having a play with it for another idea I'm cooking.
It's like going back to the days I had "snippets" sitting in Fireworks, Dreamweaver or even frigging Notepad ready to fling something new out and try it, love it 💪🏻
Really nice idea and execution! How much time has it saved you so far? How complex was it to build from scratch?
Ps. Love the Barchester Chronicle's
I recently went down a rabbit hole studying how the
fastest startups went from zero to $100M ARR — listened
to over 200 hours of podcasts from founders of companies
like Replit, Scale AI, Harvey, Cursor, Perplexity, Deel,
and others.
From that, I built a guide called “$100M ARR Startup Hacks.”
It’s a 100+ page breakdown of the most repeatable ideas
and tactics those founders used — across Product, PMF,
Growth, GTM, Team, Culture, Hiring, and Funding.
If your team’s in the scaling phase, I think you’ll find
the exact break through idea you need to take your startup
