Onlook is an open-source desktop application that bridges the gap between design and development by allowing users to visually edit React websites while automatically writing changes back to code in real-time. The tool features AI-powered assistance for building and experimenting with frontend interfaces, a Figma-style interface that works with existing design systems, and local-first architecture that keeps all code on the user's device. It integrates with existing build processes without requiring component migration and maintains version control compatibility.

Onlook – Cursor for Designers

It is too hard to use, just writing code is easy though

Is anybody using this an does have some insights?

Greate, it helps backend developer like me!

This sounds like a cool idea, although I’m not sure devs are really the target audience for this??
I mean we can already code 😜
But this makes sense for designers 👌🏻

This looks great! I hope the performance issues are resolved soon, as I’ve seen several comments mentioning it’s slow. I’m excited to see how this evolves.
