Flare Design - A Figma-like, AI driven canvas for your live site

Flare now connects directly to Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex through a CLI bridge. No more copying prompts, changes go straight from browser to source code. The big addition is Canvas Mode: an infinite, Figma-like workspace on top of your running dev server. Generate AI design variants, compare them side by side, leave comments, and apply the winner to your codebase. Your agent writes the code in whatever format your project uses.

Hey, everyone! Flare started as a simple idea: select an element in your browser, tweak its styles, and get a prompt you could paste into your AI agent. It worked, but the workflow had friction - copy, switch windows, paste, wait, check. This update removes all of that. What's new: - CLI bridge - Flare now connects directly to Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Changes go from browser to source code without leaving your editor. - Canvas mode - Step outside the page onto an infinite canvas. Think Figma, but for your running dev server. Duplicate frames, zoom around, compare layouts side by side. - AI variants - Select a component and generate multiple design directions. Pick the one that works. The rest disappear. - Comments - Annotate anything on canvas. Your notes get sent to the agent alongside the changes, so it has the full picture. - Style editor - Layout, spacing, typography, colors, shadows - edit visually, and the agent writes the code in your project's format. Tailwind classes, CSS modules, styled-components, whatever you use. The loop is: see it, change it, apply it. No file hunting. No prompt crafting. No context switching. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're already using AI for frontend work. What's still slow in your workflow?
