Building LocalDraft — Local-first code generation. No rate limits. Full control.

The Problem Developers are trapped by cloud-based code generation tools that treat quota as a profit lever. Rate limits kill velocity, pricing feels arbitrary, and you can't generate boilerplate without gambling on vendor quotas. Switching back to manual work just to regain control feels broken. What I'm Thinking of Building LocalDraft is a CLI-first code generator that runs locally by default, uses your own LLM API keys (or local Ollama), and generates boilerplate and architectural scaffolds without artificial limits. Optional hosted tier for team collaboration and remote execution—you stay in control of your token spend. Who It's For Full-stack developers and startup architects (indie devs to 50-person teams) building MVPs or prototypes who are fed up with vendor rate limits and want predictable, transparent tooling. Key Features (Planned) Local execution—run boilerplate generation on your machine with your API keys Zero artificial rate limits—generate as much as you need, pay only f
