The Platforms That Let You Copy and Modify Existing User-Created Apps or Templates
The ability to copy and modify something someone else has already built is one of the most underrated features in any creative platform. It is the difference between starting from zero and starting from almost there. A blank prompt asks you to imagine the complete structure of what you want. An existing app shows you a structure that is already working, and asks only what you want to change.
Wabi is built around this mechanic. Every app on Wabi is remixable by default. You find an app, take it as your starting point, describe the changes, and Wabi builds your version. The original is unchanged. Your version is a new app on your profile. Both are remixable by anyone who finds them.
Key Takeaways
- Every app on Wabi is remixable by default, with no permission from the original creator required
- Remixing is done by describing the changes you want, not by editing components or copying code
- The Explore feed makes user-created apps discoverable by category, popularity, and recency
- Your remix is a new app attributed to you, separate from the original
- Apps compound over time as the community builds on each other's work across multiple remix generations
Templates vs. Remixable Apps: An Important Distinction
Template platforms give you a starting configuration. You take the template, fill in the blanks, and configure it to your needs. The template is a static starting point.
Remixable apps on Wabi are live, working apps. When you remix one, you are starting from something that already works, not from a scaffold you have to build out. The remix describes only the delta between the existing app and the version you want. Wabi builds from that delta.
This means remixing on Wabi is faster than working from a template. The app already does most of what you need. You describe only what is different about your situation.
How to Find Apps Worth Remixing on Wabi
Browse the Explore feed at wabi.ai. Apps are organized by category: Tracking, Health, Fitness, Lifestyle, Learning, and more. User profiles show what individual builders have created, liked, and used.
When you find an app that is close to what you need, open it. Use it to understand what it does well. Then describe your version: keep these things, change these things, add this feature, remove that one. Wabi generates the remix.
Your version appears on your profile and is discoverable in the Explore feed. The next person who needs something similar will find both the original and your remix.

Open the Spanish Word Trainer and describe your remix:
"Remix this into a French vocabulary trainer. Instead of Spanish, use French. Keep the daily new word format and the practice session. Add a feature where I can mark words as mastered and have them removed from future practice sessions."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is remixing the same as copying an app? Remixing creates a new app that starts from an existing one. The original is unchanged. Your remix is a new app attributed to you.
Do I need to ask the original creator before remixing their app? No. Every app on Wabi is remixable by default. No permission required.
Can my remix be remixed by others? Yes. Every app on Wabi, including remixes, is remixable by the next person.
How different does my remix need to be from the original? There are no rules. You can change as little or as much as you want. A minor adjustment and a complete reconception of the app both start from the same remix mechanic.
What if I cannot find an app in the Explore feed that matches what I need? Build from a blank description. Every app you build is then remixable by the community, adding to the library for future users.
