What is Windframe?

Windframe is a visual editor for building user interfaces with Tailwind CSS. It combines a drag-and-drop interface with AI assistance to speed up the design and development process. Rather than writing CSS classes manually, you can arrange components visually and the tool generates clean Tailwind code. This is useful if you want faster prototyping or prefer visual design tools but still need production-ready code. The AI features help suggest components and layouts based on your intent, reducing the time spent switching between design tools and code editors.
