Our Vision

The Future of Visual Code Editing

We're building a world where developers can choose how they work, without sacrificing ownership or flexibility.

Why We Exist

For years, developers have been stuck in a false choice: either write code by hand with full control, or use a visual builder that locks you into a proprietary platform.

Tools like Figma revolutionized design by making it visual and collaborative. Framer and Webflow brought visual editing to the web. But they all come with the same trade-off: you don't own your code, you can't use your own stack, and you're locked into monthly subscriptions.

Layrr exists to break that trade-off. We believe you should be able to edit your interface visually while keeping complete ownership of your code, your stack, and your workflow.

Our Principles

The values that guide every decision we make

You Own Everything

Your code belongs in your repository. No proprietary formats, no vendor lock-in, no subscriptions. Deploy anywhere, anytime.

Open Source Forever

Free software means freedom. Layrr will always be open source, transparent, and built with the community.

Developer Control

You choose your framework, your hosting, your workflow. Layrr adapts to you, not the other way around.

What's Next

The future we're building together

1

Cross-Platform Support

Windows and Linux support is coming soon. Every developer should be able to use Layrr, regardless of their operating system.

2

Enhanced AI Capabilities

We're expanding AI-powered features to understand more complex design patterns, generate entire page layouts from descriptions, and provide intelligent refactoring suggestions.

3

Collaboration Features

Real-time collaboration will let teams design together, review changes visually, and iterate faster without leaving their development environment.

4

Component Libraries

A marketplace for sharing and discovering reusable components, all with clean, readable code you can understand and modify.

5

Framework Ecosystem

Deeper integrations with popular frameworks like Next.js, Remix, Astro, and SvelteKit. Native component editing, routing visualization, and framework-specific optimizations.

6

Design System Integration

Import design tokens from Figma, use your existing design system, and maintain consistency across your entire application while editing visually.

Our Philosophy

"Tools should empower you, not constrain you."

We believe the best development tools are the ones that get out of your way. They don't force you into a specific workflow or lock you into a proprietary ecosystem. They amplify your abilities without taking away your agency.

Visual editing shouldn't mean giving up on clean code. AI assistance shouldn't mean losing control. Ease of use shouldn't mean vendor lock-in.

Layrr is about freedom. The freedom to work visually when you want, to write code when you need to, and to switch between them seamlessly. The freedom to own your work, choose your stack, and deploy anywhere. The freedom to build the future you imagine.
