Caleb Porzio Unveils Paraframe: AI Design for Developers
In this episode, Matt Stauffer sits down with Caleb Porzio, creator of Livewire, Alpine.js, and Flux, for the first public look at Paraframe, his new AI-powered design tool for developers.
They dig into “true sight,” which is Caleb’s word for fully understanding the system you’re building. They talk about why open source and agency code still need human review when product code might not, and why Caleb’s team found AI makes fewer layout mistakes with plain HTML and CSS than with Tailwind.
They also get into tabs, chats, and designing tools for ADHD brains. Matt shares his mixed feelings about the industry’s growing reliance on AI labs.
