You work on a visual canvas, but underneath the design is.elyx file. That’s the real magic here. It is a plain text file. A bit like CSS - describing components, layouts, tokens, etc.

Those files can live alongside your code. You can use git, review changes, compare diffs, use your own AI tools, or build tools around. Some people have already made tools to animate .elyx designs. A design project becomes much like any code project, you can organize and work with .elyx without Elyx app.

This makes it easier for everyone to work on a project. Designers, developers, and agents can collaborate much better. Designers edit visually, while developers and agents can read and edit the same files directly. Now, because those files describe the design without tying it to a particular framework you can use them to translate designs to whatever software stack you are using for your project.
