    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    The 1st Open-source design agent that lives directly inside Cursor, Windsurf, or your favorite IDE. V0.005 is an extension with custom Paralle Claude Code agents and infinite canva UX that allows you to iterate design directly in your IDE. It can: - Generate lots of designs in Paralle (Product Mocks / UI components / Wireframes) - Fork and iterate specific designs - Deeply integrate into your IDE workflow We think design might be the killer use case for Paralle agents, and we thought the best way is to build and validate—so here we are! The V0.005 only generates static HTML pages…

    Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion. I’d love to hear your feedback
