"Yes with @SubframeApp but handoff to code is the visual layer only (React markup + CSS) then business logic is added via Cursor / Claude Code.

"we've done a ton of UX research here the insight is that developers shop first with their eyes then underlying tech if an component library doesn't look good devs won't use it even if it were headless / etc so if you want your component library to spread make it pretty first Sometimes I see unstyled used to describe component libraries but the examples clearly have a visual style. Why dont they show as browser defaults if theyre unstyled Maybe the word doesnt mean what I think it means Sometimes I see unstyled used to describe component libraries but the examples clearly have a visual style."

Is this a fair criticism What incubators should he apply to instead"

"Every founder faces the same choice: build something powerful but complex or focused but simple. Most design tools focus on creative freedom. But we focus on shipping to production faster. IMO the best products choose focus. Tough b/c you have to say no to many things"
