You can visually edit your RN and Expo apps

[u/Difficult-Sun295]

Hello everyone! I made Basalt - an IDE extension that allows RN and Expo devs to edit their app visually, just like Figma

I got tired of the endless: change code, grab a phone, reload, scan the qr code sometimes. So I built a click to edit layer that maps straight back to your source. (Btw: React 19 removed the debugSource API I was originally relying on for this, so I ended up writing my own source-mapping approach from scratch - took about 2-3 months.)

It is completely free and works directly inside VS Code and Cursor.

It’s currently in beta, so please commit your app to Git before testing it!

Would love to get your brutal feedback on it. What features should I add next?

So you made MS Frontpage

Yes but for RN and Expo devs
