Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Kevin, one of the creators of Tempo Labs (YC S23).
Tempo is a visual editor for React which gives PMs, designers, and engineers a way to collaborate on code. It has the UX of a familiar design tool but functions like an IDE under the hood. It supports Tailwind and most modern React frameworks (though we recommend Vite for optimal performance).
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗪𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼
AI has changed how teams build frontend. You can now generate functional prototypes in minutes - so quickly that the traditional design and prototyping process feels painfully slow. That said, AI generated UIs lack the polish and personality that comes from thoughtful human design.
We built Tempo to solve this tension. It combines the speed of AI prototyping with the creative control of a visual design tool, all while working directly with your production codebase. No more choosing between rapid iteration and design quality - you can have both in a single, collaborative workspace.
🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁:
1. 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲-𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆: Unlike traditional design tools, Tempo is built to run and edit your codebase directly. Just like an IDE.
2. 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Teams can work together on the same codebase in real-time, seeing changes instantly reflected in the visual editor
3. 𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰: Generate functional frontend features rapidly while maintaining full control over design polish

Thanks for your support, PH! We’d love to hear your feedback on the beta version of the product. Let us know what you build—we can’t wait to see it. 🙌
Cheers,
Kevin & Peter
