Rapid Iterative Design with Progressive Fidelity

Fluxwing enables rapid iteration at conversation speed. Iterate in minutes, not hours. Use ASCII—a format both humans and AI read natively.

Start low-fidelity (ASCII layout). Add fidelity progressively (metadata, tokens). Review and validate. Get it right before high-fidelity.

How Fluxwing Works

1. Start Low-Fidelity (Minutes)

Rapid iteration through conversation.

  • "Move button up" → quick changes
  • "Add forgot password" → done
  • Try multiple layouts rapidly
  • Why ASCII? It's rapid. Both humans AND AI read it natively.

Structure first. Pixels later.

2. Add Fidelity Progressively (Minutes)

Add detail as design solidifies:

  • Component metadata (behavior, states)
  • Design tokens (colors, spacing)
  • Accessibility (ARIA, keyboard nav)
  • No premature decisions

Progressive commitment, not all-at-once.

3. Review and Move to High-Fidelity
Validate at low-fidelity. Get stakeholder buy-in. THEN build in React, design visually, or implement.
.uxm becomes your spec for high-fidelity implementation.

Why Teams Choose Fluxwing

"We iterate 10x faster."

Rapid iterative design. ASCII layouts converge rapidly through conversation. Try multiple layouts in the time traditional tools take for one. Progressive fidelity means no premature decisions. Add detail as design solidifies.

"Our AI agents understand our design system."

Specifications that AI can read natively. ASCII works for BOTH humans and AI. No interpretation layer. No vision models. Perfect comprehension. Generate implementations directly from specs.

"Component relationships are clear."

Derivation model documents component lineage. Start with a base, derive variations. AI helps propagate changes when needed. Clear ancestry for your design system.

"Design reviews happen in PRs now."

Text-based format shows meaningful diffs in code review. Visual changes visible in version control. Collaborative iteration. Single source of truth.

What Fluxwing Enables

AI-Native Specifications

Both humans and AI read the same spec natively. No interpretation layer. No ambiguity. Perfect comprehension for rapid iteration.

Version Control Native

Text-based format shows meaningful diffs in code review. Track every change. Collaborative iteration through pull requests.

Living Documentation

Executable specs that never drift from implementation. .uxm files are the documentation. Always up to date, always accurate.

Component Derivation

Start with a base component, derive variations from it. Document relationships with extends. AI helps propagate changes when you ask. Clear component lineage.

Progressive Fidelity

Start simple, add detail as design solidifies. No premature decisions. Iterate rapidly, commit progressively. Get it right at low-fidelity first.

Validated Specs

Fast iteration and review at low-fidelity. Get stakeholder buy-in. .uxm becomes your implementation spec. Move to high-fidelity when ready.
