Shape

Hey Indie Hackers,

Like a lot of developers, my daily workflow meant constantly jumping between a design tool, a code editor, AI chat, and a Git client just to ship a simple feature. The context switching was killing my momentum, so I decided to build a single workspace to solve it.

It is called Shape, a desktop IDE that brings design, code, Git, and AI together in one place.

You can click any element in your live local preview, tweak the layout or styles in a visual sidebar, and have those changes write directly back to your source code. Alongside visual editing, it includes an AI agent that searches docs and runs checks right in your repo, plus full Git branch topology and PR management so you never have to leave the editor to ship.

We are supporting all major web frameworks and I would love to get your feedback on it. Let me know what you think of the approach or how you are currently handling your own design-to-code workflow.
