What this project is really offering

The goal here is to separate raw catalog facts from the sharper product shape users care about before they commit time.

About

Frontman is an open-source AI coding agent that revolutionizes how you edit web applications. Unlike traditional AI coding tools that work at the file level, Frontman hooks directly into your dev server and sees your live DOM, component tree, CSS styles, routes, and server logs in real time. Key features: Perfect for teams: Designers and product managers can make changes without opening an IDE, while developers get faster iteration with richer context than terminal-based AI tools. Open source and secure: Fully open source under Apache 2.0 license. Runs in development only, never production. All changes go through your normal code review process. Bring your own API key (BYOK) for complete control.
