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).

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.

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
Omg! combines the speed of AI prototyping! Incredible I have it in single, collaborative workspace.
Kudos!
Really good delivery, this is what has been missing from Claude Artifacts, V0 and all these other attempts.
Going narrow and focus, particularly for front-end, is the way to go.
If you're looking for ideas, I'd love to have the ability to gather feedback on a UI from others, and then let the AI process and incorporate it, iterate on it, and decide on best versions itself. Giving me the top N that solve X Y Z feedbacks
Tempo Labs revolutionizes React development with seamless visual collaboration! 🚀
Wow, this project is like a masterfully woven tapestry - each thread of innovation, design, and functionality intricately intertwined to create something truly remarkable.
The attention to detail, the user-centric approach, and the bold vision behind this project all shine through, making it a standout on Product Hunt.
I'm excited to see how this project evolves and inspires others to push the boundaries of what's possible!
The Tempo Labs app is a great tool for developers and designers! It makes it easy and efficient to work with React by providing a visual editor that makes it easy for team members to interact.
In the trailer video on X, I saw the prompt mentioning supabase, are you supporting backend code generation as well?
Finally, a tool that speaks my design language fluently! As a designer, I've always dreamed of instantly transforming my visions into reality. Tempo Labs is making that dream a reality.
Every day, we come across so many exciting ideas, but it's not always feasible to dedicate an entire development team to each one. Often, we dive into an idea without proper user interviews or research, which can be risky. With this, I can quickly build an MVP to validate the concept, and if it gains traction, we can confidently move forward with developing a complete product.
Incredible amount of work. As a product designer, I am planning to use it in my workflow. Keep improving it. Love the product.
Congrats for that awesome product and the launch @garrytan @kmikes @brandon_palin & @peter_gokhshteyn ! It sounds like exactly what we need to polish up our MVP and create the next features of Lingoamo platform! 💜🐒
One question:
Our frontend is in React but our backend in Ruby on Rails. Will Tempo Labs work for us?
Congrats, the Tempo Labs team! 🎉 This is such a game-changer for teams working on React—combining the speed of AI with the precision of human design is genius. The live collaboration and code-first approach really make Tempo stand out.
Wishing you lots of success with the launch—I’m sure this will be a must-have tool for designers and developers alike!
