I'm super fired up about this new version of Onlook for two reasons:
1) It makes it so much easier to jump in and start designing and
2) We have a much more intuitive, simplified toolbar control for styles that makes it even easier to craft your designs.
This has been the third major version of Onlook, and each time has felt like a leap towards solving the gap between design and development. Our first product was a Chrome Extension, the second was a downloadable desktop app (Onlook Studio), and now we're releasing Onlook for Web.
For all of the designers and non-technical people that just need a way to share their ideas with their engineering colleagues, the beta of this web version is a great start. But our goal continues be to truly solve the gap, so we'll be adding tons of great features that will let you go beyond ideation to actual implementation on real codebases.
Some known bugs:
– Sometimes generations don't "apply" after they're loaded: Kiet is working on a fix for this, but try clicking on the blank-template and re-prompting your change.
- It can take a long time to load the AI chat: We're working on making this faster (or at least a little more entertaining).
- Sometimes nothing shows up in the chat: Try going back to the homepage and re-prompting. This is something we want to make smoother.
– Sometimes styles don't apply: Let us know! We're trying to catch the edge cases.
