What is ReformCode?

ReformCode is an AI-powered developer toolkit with four main tools:

  • Code Editor: AI-powered code analysis and review
  • Code Transformer: Convert code between languages and frameworks
  • AI Builder: Generate complete apps from descriptions
  • Snippets: Save and organize reusable code

Plus Universal Search, history tracking, and session persistence.

Is ReformCode free?

Yes! We offer a free tier with 20 one-time credits. For regular use:

What AI models do you use?

We support multiple AI models:

  • Anthropic Claude: 3.5 Haiku, 3.5 Sonnet, and 3 Opus

Each has different capabilities and credit costs.

ReformCode Tools

What's the difference between the four tabs?

  • Code Editor: Paste or load code, get AI analysis and suggestions
  • Transformer: Convert code from one language/framework to another
  • Builder: Describe what you want, AI generates a complete app
  • Snippets: Save and organize code snippets for reuse

Does my work auto-save?

Yes! ReformCode automatically saves:

  • Every 30 seconds during activity
  • When you switch tabs
  • Before navigating away

Your session is restored when you return.

Can I export my Builder apps?

Yes! You can:

  • Download as ZIP: Get all files locally
  • Push to GitHub: Export directly to a new or existing repo

Universal Search

What registries can I search?

Currently:

  • GitHub: Repositories

More registries coming soon!

What is the ReformCode Score?

A proprietary 0-100 quality metric evaluating:

  • Popularity (stars, downloads, pulls)

  • Community engagement

Can I search private repositories?

Not yet. Currently only public repositories are searchable.

Code Editor

What programming languages are supported?

20+ languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++, C#, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, HTML, CSS, SQL, and more.

Why isn't my file loading?

Common issues:

  • File size exceeds 1MB limit
  • File is binary (only text files supported)
  • Network connection issues
  • Repository URL is incorrect

How accurate is AI code review?

AI reviews are generally accurate but should be guidance, not gospel:

  • Review suggestions critically
  • Test changes thoroughly
  • Use your judgment
  • Consult teammates for important decisions

Code Transformer

What transformations are supported?

  • Language: JavaScript to TypeScript, Python to Go, etc.
  • Framework: React to Vue, Express to FastAPI, etc.
  • Patterns: Callbacks to async/await, classes to functions
  • Modernization: ES5 to ES6+, legacy to modern

How accurate are transformations?

Generally very good for common conversions. Always:

  • Review the generated code
  • Test functionality
  • Fix edge cases manually if needed

AI Builder

What can I build with Builder?

Almost any web application:

  • Interactive apps (calculators, games, tools)
  • Landing pages and portfolios
  • Dashboards with charts
  • Forms and data entry
  • And much more!

What tech stack does Builder use?

  • React 18 for UI
  • TypeScript for type safety
  • Tailwind CSS for styling
  • Vite for building
  • Lucide for icons

Can I edit generated code?

Yes! The code is fully editable in the center panel. Changes update the live preview instantly.

How do I iterate on my app?

Just continue the conversation:

  • "Add a dark mode toggle"
  • "Make the buttons more rounded"
  • "Add localStorage persistence"

The AI builds on previous context.
