Hey everyone!

Thanks for the initial feedback! I've made some significant improvements to Nothify based on your testing.

What's fixed:

• The loading/dialog issue is now resolved
• Added automatic repository forking for repos you don't own
• Improved state persistence through the GitHub OAuth flow

New flow for repositories you don't own:

1. Paste any public Next.js repo URL (even if you don't own it)
2. Select a template and theme
3. Nothify analyzes the repo structure
4. Connect your GitHub account (if not already connected)
5. Nothify automatically forks the repo to your account
6. Creates a clean, review-ready pull request from your fork

Example with the repo you tested:

I just tested with github.com/refetch-io/refetch and it worked perfectly:

• Forked to my account: https://github.com/AbhiVarde/refetch

GitHub

GitHub - AbhiVarde/refetch: Open-source alternative to YC-controller HN

Open-source alternative to YC-controller HN. Contribute to AbhiVarde/refetch development by creating an account on GitHub.

• Created a PR: https://github.com/AbhiVarde/refetch/pull/1

The PR includes a framework-correct 404 page that matches the repo's stack (TypeScript, Tailwind, App Router).

Key improvements:

• Your progress is now preserved through OAuth (no more starting over)
• Clear UI feedback when forking is needed
• Handles both repos you own and repos you don't own seamlessly

Thanks again for helping me catch these issues!

Hey @abhivarde, great work!

Love that you’re iterating fast on feedback too 👏

Thanks a lot! Appreciate that 🙌

I’ve been iterating based on feedback from a few communities and focusing on smoothing the flow and edge cases.

If you or anyone on your team has a chance to try it, I’d genuinely value feedback on usability, DX, or anything that could make it more useful in real projects.

Shared a short X thread with the latest flow breakdown and screenshots.

Happy to hear feedback.

Last year, I noticed many Next.js apps still ship the default 404. So I built Nothify, an autonomous 404 agent. Paste any GitHub repo, choose a template, and Nothify: - Detects your setup - Generates a correct 404 - Downloads code or opens a PR Demo → https://nothify.abhivarde.in

Quick update since sharing this:

• Added dark mode (via next-themes)
• Recorded a full end-to-end demo using a public repo
• Shows auto-detection → fork (if needed) → clean PR creation

Update shipped based on feedback

A few people asked if they could preview the page before opening a PR...totally fair.

I’ve added a live preview so you can test and only then create a PR.

@AmyAEgan @paw_lean @mayaisxyz @adityaoberai @TessaMero @VercelCommunity @umami_software You all kept asking "can I preview it first?" Fair question. Added live preview today. Click "Preview" → test → close → create PR Try it: https://nothify.abhivarde.in

Would love more suggestions on what to add next.

Quick iteration on Nothify.

Tried a more expressive illustrated 404 using a vintage background + overlay, keeping it simple and production-safe.

I wrote a short blog sharing the thinking and architecture behind Nothify... repo analysis, preview-first flow, and PR automation.

Hey Community,

Shared the Nothify demo + some deeper context on LinkedIn as well.

If you’re around on LinkedIn, would appreciate a little support there https://www.linkedin.com/posts/abhi-varde_artificialintelligence-nextjs-devtools-ugcPost-7426191421159710720-5qXx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADFdumsBkkbGWnck2_BIFm1rHijrFAPTgEA

#artificialintelligence #nextjs #devtools #automation #webdev | Abhi Varde

Built an AI agent that generates custom 404 pages for Next.js repos. Paste your GitHub URL. Nothify does the rest. How it works: → Analyzes your repo (App/Pages Router, TypeScript/JS, CSS framework) → Generates matching 404 page using Groq → Live code preview in Sandpack before commit → Auto-creates pull request (forks repo if you don't own it) Supports: → Public and private repos via Appwrite OAuth → Tailwind, MUI, styled-components, CSS Modules → 5 templates with light/dark themes Detects conflicts. Preserves state through OAuth. No config files needed. Built with Next.js + Groq + AI SDK + Appwrite + Sandpack + shadcn/ui Deployed on Vercel → nothify.abhivarde.in What's the most repetitive task in your dev workflow? #ArtificialIntelligence #NextJS #DevTools #Automation #WebDev

Small update shipped.

What you see now after PR creation: → Branch → Commit hash → Commit message → File committed → Push reference

Because "PR created ✓" told you nothing.

Really nice work on this whole project. Love to see all the iteration

Thank you, means a lot truly!

Still figuring things out, been shipping and contributing to OSS for months now. Things haven't quite clicked yet but still here, still building, still giving updates. Right time will come.

Follow along on Twitter and LinkedIn if anyone want to stay updated!

Monorepo support is now live on Nothify.

Before: pasting a Turborepo URL showed "Not a Next.js project" even when it was.

After: Nothify scans all apps inside the repo, shows a picker, you select which Next.js app to target, and it generates the 404 page at the exact correct path.

apps/web/app/not-found.tsx - not just not-found.tsx.

Works with Turborepo, Nx, and pnpm workspaces.

I love the idea AND your execution on this, this is a really great project. Stylistically it does some weird stuff sometimes though. I tried it on my site, which is blue themed, and it did a bright "0" in "404" which is kinda weird looking

Love it @abhivarde!

Really appreciate you trying it on your site 😄

Yeah, right now the templates are optimized for either light or dark mode presets rather than dynamically adapting to every site theme, which can sometimes lead to weird styling on custom branded themes like yours.

I’ve updated the elegant template so instead of just the 0 being bright, the full 404 now renders consistently in both dark and light presets, which feels much cleaner overall 🙌

first it was a web app. then an agent skill. now nothify has a chat 🎉

two modes: → nothify: answers only from project docs → general: open chat

try it: nothify.abhivarde.in/chat

streaming, multi-model @GroqInc with auto fallback, markdow built with @nextjs + @aisdk + @shadcn

which mode would you use ?

if you try it out, would love to hear how it works with your setup. any feedback helps, drop it here or on the X post also would mean a lot if you showed some support on X:
