I did have a video on for launch but removed it when I added CSS Studio itself to the page (check top right). Perhaps it can make a return though!

I'll be honest I didn't notice it sitting up there in the top right until I saw this message, it's in that area I ignore where people usually put social logos etc.
Anyway - question on the software itself, how would CSS changes feed through to the code? Inline CSS, utility classes if you're using a framework? Does it support using something like Vite for compiling?
I agree, I almost missed it and left the website.
Too bad because once I saw it and tried it out, that's when I thought the experience feels slick and polished.
I think you shoud consider either having an onboarding that highlights it or put a giant arrow on your landing page background, between the video and the bar, with a "Try it on this page"
All the technical decisions are yours. If you defined a padding (for instance) in a stylesheet, this is where updates will be applied. Likewise if it was on a style attr or elsewhere.
I think it would be preferable if the agent figured out the right place to do this.
When I debug CSS or toy with styling, I will often edit the element styles directly but naturally I would like them to be applied within classes the element has, or maybe add a new utility. Never would I put styles on the element.
I suppose that in the same fashion, if your project uses tailwind or something, you will edit styles manually but when you get it right you want them to be added as “whatever the code uses”

I’m on mobile, I’d much rather see some visual demo, ideally video, explaining your product in 60 seconds or less than try to tap around in the live demo.
It's a great point, I added the video back
“Don’t show them the keys of the piano, play the moonlight sonata. “
The key to a good demo is not listing or even showing the features, it’s showing them what they can accomplish with it. You need to inspire your prospects.
The video better be visible on mobile. I read HN on phone.
It's a fair point - deployed
You need a video. Time is money
It's up!
bro listen to the guy above you. You need the lowest friction way to help users visualize what this is. By low friction I mean the exact way tik tok gets people to watch thousands of videos for hours. Only one click and zero brain power.
I wanted to buy this. I tried the demo, but then I hit a wall of no agent connected and gave up and came here looking for reviews on whether this is good or shit.
Yeah about an hour before you sent this I updated the homepage with a video.
Unfortunately, that video does not explain anything at all. I now know that the product can be used with a mouse, that I can select things and set some properties. Who is it for? What does it do? Why should I use it?
