Description
stagewise is an open-source coding agent that can actually see your app. It works in its own browser environment, reads the DOM and console, and edits the code behind what it’s looking at. Use any model, bring your own key, and keep full control.

Could you build this?
Partial An open-source agent that controls a headless browser via Playwright and inspects DOM/console logs is vibe-codeable, but linking DOM elements back to specific source code locations and modifying ASTs reliably is technically complex.
What it would actually take: The system combines a local server, a headless browser controlled via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), and an LLM orchestration loop. The hard challenge is code-to-DOM sourcemap mapping (instrumenting JSX/HTML build outputs with source location tags) so the agent can accurately map a rendered DOM node back to exact file and line coordinates in the repo.
