About Sandeep

Sandeep Baskaran is a Senior UX Designer based in Bengaluru, currently working in IBM's Z Infrastructure organisation where he helps enterprises modernize legacy systems. He builds in the open — automating workflows, writing about design, AI, and productivity, mentoring aspiring designers, and leading design communities in Chennai and Bengaluru. He also builds TypeScript and React tools for agent-assisted product work. Design Mode is his independent, MIT-licensed browser visual editor: it previews changes on rendered pages and records a specification, while an authorised developer or coding agent implements the source. Read the release history and the MCP design rationale.

Why this exists

Screenshots and prose are useful for broad direction, but they often lose selectors, computed values and the relationship between the intended change and the rendered page.

Design Mode lets you make the intended change on the rendered page, records a structured specification, and hands it to a coding agent as Markdown or through MCP. The agent still has to find the source, implement the change and return a diff for review.

Built in the open under MIT. Read the source, file an issue, or open a PR.
