The ask
Designers frequently use tools that are disconnected from the final HTML and CSS code, creating a gap between design and development. This separation often requires manual conversion or re-implementation of designs into code, introducing inefficiencies and potential inconsistencies. We need a design tool that offers a visual editing experience comparable to popular design platforms, but with a live, bidirectional HTML and CSS preview. This would allow users to visually manipulate elements while simultaneously seeing and editing the corresponding code. Advanced CSS properties could be directly written in a code editor integrated within the tool. Storing designs as plain text HTML and CSS would enable local file management and full integration with version control systems like Git. This approach would foster better collaboration, allowing designers and developers to work within a unified framework for design iteration, versioning, and code reviews.
