02/21/2025, 9:05 AMFWIW we see our users wanting and needing both Preview and Live Edit/Hot Reload, as each have their unique strengths based on the task and complexity of your UI system. So I’d welcome all improvements to UI iteration tooling here.

But yeah, having that plus good previews as well would be great.
