Show HN: Open-source sandbox for your product team

The due is so amazing....Been using it from last few days and it's works so crazy when it comes to being connected with your code and so consistent with design system
Something I felt other Vibe design tools missed

This looks amazing. Keeping a separate mock repo in sync with production is always a nightmare. Can't wait to try this with our product team!
alright we've been facing this issue for a while now, gonna see if this fits, also maybe have a gif on the readme on how it works? thats gonna give more clarity since you're targetting non technical folks who casually check out github repos for solutions like these
This would help me a lot with designers getting off my back to fix every small thing
this is so cool! I can't wait to give this to our products team! not only will it let them quickly iterate on their ideas, but it would probably also help them appreciate how complicated some of their requests can be!! :P
Being a designer that would help a lot. To design without being a bother to the dev
let’s goo! This is an innovative solution for product teams, excited to try it out
Oh that’s interesting
This is super cool!
this is pretty sick actually, where can i test
can i have an app version of it?
interesting, will check it out!
have to give this a go!
dude, i've been waiting for something like this, finallyyyyy
The repo is here: https://github.com/B1u3B01t/design-playground.
We've been working together for six years. Last year we built an AI design agent because we thought designers were the biggest bottleneck. But we were wrong.
After talking to teams, we realised designers, PMs, founders and even sales people all wanted to quickly change and explore flows for their users, that looked and behaved like the real app.
But devs don't trust non-technical teams to work on production and not fuck up the code. Agree. So the other way is setting up another mock repo.
And that defeats the point. It adds maintenance cost of keeping both in sync. This is what happened when both of us were working together too. So we built an open-source Playground.
It has all the features out of the box: super intuitive, good ux, links to claude/codex, latest features, easy additions of skills, collaborative and best of all, safe guardrails so if you want, you can get the code in one click (unlike figma or other closed source shit).
I work on the Playground. Rahul on Conductor. We're super claude pilled and believe in this duo being the new product team size, something coinbase and square are already doing with "pods".
Right now it supports Nextjs projects. We will definitely add more frameworks and improve the developer experience. We'd especially love feedback from teams already maintaining internal sandboxes.
Go let your non-tech team play.
