Introducing Hexby

Hexby turns your existing codebase into a visual canvas for designing with the AI coding agents you already use. Explore your app’s pages and components, make changes directly on your real UI, and review the results before opening a pull request.

New

  • Start with your app. Open a local project or connect a repository.

  • Find what you want to change. Browse Pages, All Components, and Component Map, with previews to help you locate the right page or component.

  • Give your assistant context. Connect your AI coding assistant and pass it the selected page or component.

  • Point to specific changes. Annotate elements directly in the preview to show your assistant what you mean.

  • Explore design directions. Use Explore with Hexby to compare ideas before implementing them.

  • Try your changes. Use Preview App to test them in your running app.

  • Review and hand off. Compare before-and-after previews, gather teammate feedback, and open a pull request.
