I strongly feel the recent replit launch is a validation to what I believe the next design + build tools look like.
I think it should work with other existing tools too, it should enable collaborations not only within designers but also designers + engineers + product builders.
The design control should feel natural, not only canvas but ability to tweak the fine details. Direct manipulation with agents.
Can't wait to show what we are building soon.
We built this tool for ourselves โ the ones who care about M-dash and who feel sad when the details we carefully crafted get deprioritised.
Now we donโt wait for backlog #1031 to resurface during sprint planning. We donโt pray that the AI picks up the exact padding either.
I built a design tool (as a designer) that fits how I actually work. Fast software isn't enough. Here's what I think a new kind of design tool needs to help us build quality software:

after talking to several designers, most of them are still scared of using terminal interfaces

@Wondopamine Another of my personal favorite things about designing with Handmade: measuring spacing and drawing guidelines directly on top of your real web app. You can't fix what you can't measure.
Designers, this one is for you.
Introducing Handmade: a visual editor that drops into any React app so you can design the real thing.
AI agents can get you from 0 to 80% fast. The last 20% is where your craft shows.
Select any element, measure spacing, edit text, adjust layout, all visually, on your live app. Then export your changes as a spec any AI coding tool can use.
