The problem
The problem
Designers and founders bounce between chat tools, Figma, and export hacks. They need AI generation that still respects a design system and ships to real formats.
Outcomes
- Local-first workspace for tokens, components, pages, decks
- Export paths: HTML, PDF, PPTX, Canva — without mandatory cloud lock-in
Approach
Conversation revises artifacts; governance layer keeps tokens/type/voice consistent.
Projects live in the browser/workspace; sync is optional.
Key tradeoffs
Storage
Chose: Local-first project files
Rejected: Cloud-only multiplayer from day one
Ownership and offline work beat collaborative complexity for v1.
What was hard
- Export fidelity across PPTX/PDF/HTML
What I would change
- Deeper multiplayer later, not as a blocker
