What it does
Timeful is a local-first visual editor that syncs with your codebase. Build your website or app on a visual canvas and Timeful instantly outputs clean, production-ready code for Vue, Nuxt, and Tailwind. All using predictable algorithms, without spending a single AI credit. Prefer coding? Edit the code and the canvas updates immediately via true two-way sync. You fully own the code: build in your own repository, review and merge changes, and deploy anywhere with zero vendor lock-in.
Design freely on a canvas, generate code, and import or edit existing code. Real two-way sync, zero AI credit usage.
Your design is saved as real production-ready code, with no export steps in between. Invisibly, in the background. Designers and developers open the same Vue files. Designers edit the visual layout while developers build the logic. Every change gets saved to code. What you see on the canvas is exactly what gets published to production. Your project lives in a folder on your device. Not locked on a server you don't control. Your design is loaded from code and saved to code using predictable algorithms, with no steps in between - the code is your data format. You change the design, the code updates. Someone changes the code, your design updates. Your project is a regular Git repository which…from timeful.io

Talanoa▲329Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
