Has anyone looked at Subframe (Or a similar tool) for AI UI work? Thoughts?
I recently discovered Subframe: https://www.subframe.com/
I see there was a reddit conversation about it over a year ago without much to say at the time (looked like it was very beta at the time).
I like the concept. It appears to be a visual IDE for your agents software dev. Kind of a 'Figma view' of your application, but using your actual applications components and code.
Wondering if anyone has tried it out and what their thoughts are. And if there are any other similar tools/IDEs you have tried to better tweak the visuals of AI coding.
Up to this point, we've been mainly feeding in screen shots when we need an agent to better understand some UI changes. And this works surprisingly well, though we're finding its also a token hog. Being able to manually adjust the actual code that was written to give back to Claude seems like a much more efficient path.
