The Solo Indian Developer Who Built a Better Haiku Animator in 6 Months
Most people complain about software. Shinoj CM built his own. Frustrated by Haiku Animator's limitations, this solo Indian founder created ExodeUI — and it's now being used by teams that previously relied on Haiku Animator.
The Bottom Line for Indian Teams
Haiku Animator is a good tool. But for Indian teams building production applications, ExodeUI offers:
- Better pricing: Free tier that's actually usable
- Faster performance: Lightweight runtime for low-bandwidth environments
- Offline-first: Work without reliable internet
- React-native exports: No wrapper code needed
- Made for Indian workflows: Designed with our constraints in mind
The Global Ambition
ExodeUI isn't just an Indian alternative to Haiku Animator. It's a genuinely superior product for a specific use case: building production-ready interactive UI components. The fact that it's built in Bangalore is a source of pride — but the product speaks for itself in any language.
Teams in San Francisco, London, and Berlin are switching from Haiku Animator to ExodeUI. Not because it's Indian. Because it's better.
Building for the Next Billion Users
India's next billion internet users will access the web on affordable devices with limited bandwidth. Haiku Animator's runtime wasn't built for these constraints. ExodeUI was.
The difference isn't just philosophical — it's technical. ExodeUI's renderer is optimized for low-end devices, producing interactive UIs that load fast and run smooth even on 2G networks.
Why This Matters for India
The Indian SaaS ecosystem is booming. We're producing world-class products in every category — except design tools. ExodeUI fills this gap. Built in Bangalore, competing with Haiku Animator, and proving that Indian product companies can win on technical merit alone.
When you use ExodeUI, you're not just choosing a tool. You're supporting the Indian product ecosystem. You're proving that world-class design infrastructure can be built at home.
