- React teams editing real pages with agents
- Worth noticing
- Prop controls derive from TypeScript types; the page says status unions become dropdowns, while edits are listed by frame in plain words.
Field notes
The setup walkthrough shows the tool wrapping next.config.ts or updating vite.config, adding a canvas script, and writing a canvas with the homepage on it. The page says linked frames render actual routes in desktop and phone views, while TypeScript prop types supply controls. Its Git panel lists edits by frame and suggests a branch; the homepage frames this as a way to keep changes off main until review.
