TL;DR: TeleportHQ is sunsetting, but Replay offers a powerful AI-driven alternative for converting designs and video recordings into production-ready React, Vue, or Angular code, understanding user behavior for more accurate reconstructions.
TeleportHQ's departure leaves a void for developers seeking rapid UI prototyping and code generation. While several tools attempt to fill this gap, most fall short of truly understanding user intent and generating high-quality, maintainable code. This article explores the best TeleportHQ alternatives in 2026, focusing on solutions that leverage AI to bridge the gap between design and functional code. We'll dive into the strengths and weaknesses of each option and highlight why Replay stands out as a frontrunner in behavior-driven UI reconstruction.
The Challenge: From Design to Dynamic Code#
The promise of design-to-code tools has always been enticing: effortlessly translate mockups into fully functional applications. However, the reality often involves significant manual adjustments, particularly when dealing with complex interactions and dynamic data. Traditional tools struggle to capture the nuances of user behavior, resulting in code that's visually similar but functionally incomplete. This is where AI-powered solutions, especially those focusing on video analysis, offer a significant advantage.

DhiWise: Low-Code Platform with Code Generation#
DhiWise is a low-code platform that offers code generation capabilities, primarily targeting React, Flutter, and Node.js. It allows developers to build UIs visually and generate code based on those designs.
Pros:
- •Supports multiple frameworks and technologies.
- •Offers a visual interface for building UIs.
- •Integrates with popular APIs and databases.
Cons:
- •Primarily focuses on design-to-code from static designs.
- •Limited AI-driven behavior analysis.
- •Can be complex to learn and configure.
Anima: Design-to-Code for Figma and Adobe XD#
Anima is a design-to-code tool that integrates directly with Figma and Adobe XD. It allows designers to create high-fidelity prototypes and then generate code for React, HTML/CSS.
Pros:
- •Seamless integration with popular design tools.
- •Supports animations and interactive elements.
- •Simplifies the handoff process between designers and developers.
Cons:
- •Limited AI capabilities.
- •Relies on static design imports, lacking behavior analysis.
- •Code quality may require significant manual adjustments.
Replay: Behavior-Driven UI Reconstruction from Video#
Replay takes a radically different approach. Instead of relying on static designs, Replay analyzes video recordings of user interactions to understand how an application is used. This "behavior-driven reconstruction" allows Replay to generate more accurate and functional code.
Key Features of Replay#
- •Video Input: Replay accepts video recordings as input, capturing the nuances of user behavior.
- •Behavior Analysis: Uses AI to understand user intent, not just visual appearance.
- •Multi-Page Generation: Generates code for entire product flows, not just individual screens.
- •Supabase Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Supabase for data binding and backend functionality.
- •Style Injection: Allows for easy customization and styling of generated code.
- •Product Flow Maps: Visualizes user flows to ensure a coherent and intuitive user experience.
How Replay Works: A Step-by-Step Guide#
Let's walk through a simple example of using Replay to generate a React component from a video recording.
Step 1: Upload Your Video#
Upload a video recording of the user interacting with the UI you want to reconstruct. This could be a recording of a website, a mobile app, or even a prototype.
Step 2: Replay Analyzes the Video#
Replay's AI engine analyzes the video, identifying UI elements, user interactions (clicks, scrolls, form submissions), and data flow.
Step 3: Code Generation#
Replay generates clean, functional React, Vue, or Angular code based on its analysis. This code includes:
- •Component structure
- •Event handlers
- •Data binding
- •Basic styling
Step 4: Customize and Integrate#
The generated code can be further customized and integrated into your existing codebase. Replay's style injection feature makes it easy to apply your own styling and branding.
Code Example: Generated React Component#
Here's an example of a React component generated by Replay from a video recording of a simple form:
typescript// Generated by Replay - Do not edit manually import React, { useState } from 'react'; const ExampleForm = () => { const [name, setName] = useState(''); const [email, setEmail] = useState(''); const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => { e.preventDefault(); // Simulate API call const response = await fetch('/api/submit', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ name, email }), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); alert('Form submitted successfully!'); }; return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <div> <label htmlFor="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" value={name} onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)} /> </div> <div> <label htmlFor="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" value={email} onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)} /> </div> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> ); }; export default ExampleForm;
💡 Pro Tip: For best results, record videos with clear and consistent user interactions. This will help Replay accurately understand user intent.
Integrating with Supabase#
Replay's Supabase integration allows you to easily connect your generated UI to a backend database. This simplifies data binding and allows you to build dynamic applications with ease.
To integrate with Supabase, simply provide your Supabase API key and URL. Replay will then automatically generate code to fetch and update data from your Supabase database.
typescript// Example of fetching data from Supabase import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'; const supabaseUrl = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_URL'; const supabaseKey = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_API_KEY'; const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey); const fetchData = async () => { const { data, error } = await supabase .from('your_table') .select('*'); if (error) { console.error('Error fetching data:', error); } else { console.log('Data from Supabase:', data); } }; fetchData();
⚠️ Warning: Always store your Supabase API key securely. Avoid hardcoding it directly into your code. Use environment variables or a secrets management system.
The Power of Behavior-Driven Reconstruction#
The key difference between Replay and other TeleportHQ alternatives is its focus on behavior. By analyzing video recordings, Replay can understand:
- •User flows and navigation patterns
- •Form submissions and data input
- •Dynamic interactions and state changes
This allows Replay to generate code that is not only visually accurate but also functionally complete.
Replay vs. Traditional Design-to-Code Tools#
| Feature | Traditional Design-to-Code | Replay |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Static Designs (Figma, etc.) | Video |
| Analysis | Visual Appearance | User Behavior |
| Code Quality | Requires Manual Adjustments | Production-Ready |
| Understanding of Intent | Limited | High |
| Dynamic Interactions | Difficult to Implement | Seamlessly Captured |
📝 Note: While Replay excels at understanding user behavior from video, it doesn't directly import design files like Figma or Adobe XD. The primary input is video recordings of user interactions.
