Roopik – An AI-native, canvas-first IDE blending visual design with code

Summary: Roopik is a canvas-first IDE that integrates visual design and real code in a single workspace. It uses an AI collaborator, Coding Agent Dio, to build, preview, and iterate frontend UI live, keeping design intent and code synchronized.

What it does

Roopik treats the canvas as the source of truth, generating code deterministically and maintaining live previews in sync. It enables semantic UI editing rather than just AI-generated components.

Who it's for

Frontend developers and designers seeking to reduce context switching and align design with code during UI development.

Why it matters

It solves the friction of design, structure, and code drifting apart across tools by unifying them in one live, canvas-driven environment.
