Our Take

Onlook lets designers drag actual components from your codebase into a visual editor and submit pull requests without writing a single line of code, which is genuinely smart because it solves the eternal designer-dev friction of "just make it look like the Figma" when the Figma was never real code to begin with. The open-source piece matters too since it means you're not locked into some VC-backed platform that might pivot or die in two years. My question is whether it holds up when your component tree gets messy — like, can it actually parse a tangled React app with fifty dependencies, or does it choke on anything beyond a toy demo? That's the real test.
