An AI-powered IDE specifically for designers that allows them to modify styles and move elements visually, with changes reflected directly in the production codebase (React, NextJS, Vite, Tailwind CSS).

Market Position

Positioned as a visual-first code editor for designers, competing with traditional handoff tools like Figma and web builders, but with a focus on editing the actual production codebase directly.
