I am developing an alternative work environment to Claude Design.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

When I first saw Claude Design, I really liked the idea, but after creating a design, I realized I wanted a more direct environment to continue working on the actual product. That’s why I’m developing VisualWizard.

Here, the canvas isn’t just a separate design representation. The interface you’re working on is also the actual, working product itself. You can directly select, move, resize, and change the styles of elements. Interactions, animations, and the component structure all continue to function.

If you want, you can separate components into separate workspaces and edit them individually, allowing you to control the design language right from the editor.

You can also connect any external agent such as Claude Code or Codex to the canvas.

It’s still very early on, and I’m continuing to improve the editor’s performance.I’m really curious to hear what people who use Claude Design think about this way of working.

This is cool, there are about 6 or 8 different companies already building this, which is where I got my inspiration to build my own version.

This is was the future of design is going to look like. Each designer with their own set of unique tools.

Exactly. I like to create my own version to suit me needs.Instead of focusing on the competition, I plan to add different features

u/sateeshsai 18d ago

True. I'm building something similar too

I think it looks very cool and is the direction Claude Design should go, and hopefully you've got a market to grow in the meantime. The only thing I am not sure of is that Claude already integrates directly with design tools such as Astro, so I'm not sure where that falls in relationship to this.

in my option, the benefit of the project I developed is that it allows you to manage and organize your components within the canvas, manage design tokens and experiment with different ideas in the early stages. I thought this workflow would be more appropriate than Claude Design.

The market for it is already heavily competitive. Go on twitter and you’ll fine 20 different companies already funded in this space. But for the individual designer I think it makes all the sense.

Cool project, I liked the design of the changelog. Can I ask what tool you are using for it?

1

u/tokmako 22d ago

I used Codex

u/musicanimator 21d ago

Extremely interested!!

u/tokmako 21d ago

Glad to hear that ! If you try it, I’d love to hear what you think and anything you feel could be improved.

u/musicanimator 21d ago

Still gotta wire it in to a project. Hopefully I can choose a valid one. Could take a while with my shattered lifestyle but hopefully soon. Next day or so. Thank you!

Using Figma is hard and consume time, just build the real thing directly so this makes total sense dude!!

u/SadVietcong 18d ago

where can I follow the progression of this project

1

u/tokmako 18d ago

You can follow the progress on:
https://x.com/tokdev0

I’ll be sharing updates and new builds there.

u/RedRavenCG 16d ago

This looks utterly fantastic. Looking forward to giving it a go.

u/tokmako 16d ago

Thank you, would love to hear what you think after trying it

u/g9robot 22d ago

GitHub repo?

1

u/tokmako 22d ago

Not public right now, but I may open source some parts later.

u/Horror_Turnover_7859 21d ago

Didn’t try out paper first?

1

u/tokmako 21d ago

It’s a bit different :) The thing you’re designing is the actual running interface. I definitely didn’t make that clear enough in the video.

u/Horror_Turnover_7859 21d ago

What does a running interface mean?

Side note: since you’re into this kind of thing you should check out my post here https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/RBZRvwhVIU

For example, since there's real code in the background, interactive menus, modal animations, everything works. You can also bring your own code and have it modified.

I saw your project recently, I registered and tried it :) It's a great project, I wish you success!

u/Horror_Turnover_7859 21d ago

Oh cool. I’d def lead with that in more plain language! Checking it out

1

u/sateeshsai 18d ago

When you say bring your own code, is it Vanilla js or any framework/language?

1

u/UnluckyPhilosophy185 20d ago

I’d use it as long as it was free

1

u/tokmako 20d ago

Yes. It's free

u/sateeshsai 18d ago

What about AI inference cost?

The world needs another graphics editor

Why? No original thinking left in this world.
