Why we included this project

Frontman flips the usual AI coding workflow: you point at the rendered page in your browser, describe the change in plain English, and it edits the source file behind that element with hot reload. It reads the live DOM, computed CSS, component tree, routes, and source maps to figure out which file owns the UI, so you don't have to guess. That context is exactly what terminal-based tools miss, which makes Frontman useful for product managers and designers fixing copy, spacing, or layout without opening an IDE, and for frontend developers who want to see the effect of their edits immediately. It runs as a local dev-server integration for Next.js, Astro, and Vite, and supports bring-your-own-key LLM providers, so teams can try it against their existing stack before committing.
