In plain words

Plasmic is a web design tool that integrates directly into React and other codebases. It allows designers and developers to build and modify web interfaces visually while maintaining connection to underlying code. The tool enables teams to design in a visual interface and sync changes back to their codebase, streamlining the workflow between design and development. It's useful for developers and designers who want to collaborate on web projects without switching between separate design and coding environments.

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!
