Tools: Why Are You Still Using AI to Generate Table Code? 😤

What is TableCraft? ## Backend Setup (Hono) ## Frontend Setup (React) ## What You Get ## Available Packages ## Save Your Tokens Every time I asked ChatGPT to create a data table, I got the same 200+ lines of code. Filtering. Sorting. Pagination. Search. Export. Column visibility. Date pickers. New project? Same prompt. Same code. Same debugging. I realized something: I was paying tokens for work that never changes. That's not what AI is for. AI is for creative problems. Repetitive boilerplate should be abstracted away. So I built TableCraft. A Drizzle ORM-powered table engine that auto-generates everything from your database schema. That's it. One component. No column definitions. Next time you need a data table, don't prompt AI. 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/jacksonkasi1/TableCraft 📚 Docs: https://jacksonkasi.gitbook.io/tablecraft Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
