This feels like a natural evolution of the design-to-code workflow. Instead of generating code directly, generating structured prompts gives more control and keeps the human in the loop.
One of the biggest challenges with AI-generated UI is iteration — small visual tweaks often require regenerating large chunks of code. Having a visual editor that produces precise, minimal prompts could make the iteration loop much faster and more predictable.
Have been talking to more designers recently that are starting to experiment with claude code for prototyping.
A common pattern was that removing the coding step was a wow moment, but tweaking designs was hard.
Cursors design mode solves more or less solves this for cursor, but we need something generic. Flare is an attempt of making a general solution for this problem, simply integrating into any app and giving you your changes as a ready-to-paste prompt.
There's plenty of potential for expanding this, text-editing, more css compatibility, adding new components, mcp server for directly injecting the changes and more.
