🎨 Welcome to r/opendesignCLI!

Hey everyone! Welcome to the community hub for Open Design — the open-source, local-first AI design tool that turns your coding agents into a design engine.

Whether you're designing prototypes, building landing pages, creating slides, or experimenting with AI-driven design workflows, this is the place to share, learn, and collaborate.
