About Overlay

Design with your codebase - A User Interface design editor integrated with Visual Studio Code. You can design on the canvas using your components freely like you are used to. Except every element is a real React component, not a picture of one. Build a component in isolation without ever leaving design mode, and watch every change appear on the canvas as you type: no refresh, no re-import, no switching windows. When they have access to your codebase and reuse it to generate UIs, they can make powerful edits while respecting your design system's usage and guidelines.
