Onlook

Onlook is a next-generation visual code editor designed specifically for designers and product managers. It allows users to work directly within real codebases, enabling them to edit live React components on an infinite canvas. This innovative platform integrates seamlessly with your team’s existing Storybook design system, ensuring that the code remains the source of truth throughout the design process. With the help of AI, Onlook simplifies the coding experience, making it accessible even for those without extensive coding knowledge.

The platform is built to foster collaboration among teams, allowing designers to prototype, ideate, and create websites from scratch while maintaining compliance with their design systems. Onlook's unique features include drag-and-drop functionality, customizable reusable components, and real-time collaboration tools. Users can easily select elements, modify them, and receive instant design feedback from AI, all within their workflow. This makes it an ideal tool for crafting better websites and prototypes faster than ever.

Onlook is open-source, which means it can be self-hosted for free on GitHub, providing transparency and flexibility for developers. The platform is not just limited to web experiences; it can also be used for presentations, mockups, and other visual projects. By bridging the gap between design and development, Onlook empowers both designers and developers to work together more effectively, ensuring that the final product aligns with the original vision.

Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, Onlook has evolved into a remote-first company with a presence in San Francisco. The team is dedicated to building a global movement that enhances the creative process through innovative tools and AI integration. Onlook is committed to making developers first-class citizens in the design process, ensuring that creativity and implementation go hand in hand.
