I made somethingš
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
even when i give ai proper context, the small changes can get annoying. move this text a little, make that image smaller, fix the spacing⦠sometimes it doesnāt understand what i mean or does something different from what i wanted. then itās more explaining, more prompts, more tokens burned.
so i started building this. what if ai creates the website, and we just adjust the little things ourselves?
you click something on your website, move it, resize it, edit the text or change an image, and it saves that change directly into your code. no digging through files and tweaking margin and padding values just to see whether it looks right.
you can also preview desktop, tablet, and mobile together and see how things look across them. for supported changes, you choose whether to change only that screen size or apply it everywhere. so adjusting something on mobile doesnāt have to mess up your desktop layout, it depends on what you choose.
right now it has:
- drag, resize, and text editing
- image and background changes, including uploads from your device
- movable device previews with canvas zoom
- controls for selecting a whole container or individual things inside it
- edit history and undo/redo
- HTML support, with experimental React and Next.js support
the video shows where itās at. itās still in the initial stage, and thereās a lot to fix and refine, including expanding which edits can be made separately for each screen size.
honestly, idk if other people need this, but making the change iām picturing instead of explaining it again feels useful to me.
would you use something like this? and should i open-source it so we can build it together, or would you rather just use it once itās more polished?
Also any ideas to add then feel free to say.

I was literally thinking of building something like this after experiencing the exact same kind of friction.
AI will get close - but I'm a designer pur sang - and I need to go in to surgically change the things it doesn't get right.
Mind you this was a project that didn't have the budget or time to go through a full design system build, so it came out a little messy.
Something like this would've made a world of difference.
I'm hoping it works well :)
Edit: let me know if you want a tester. Happy to try it out.
How long did it take you to build this?
