Description
Open-source AI code editor. Composer plans a change and stages it as a diff. Before you apply it, every change is checked: it parses, imports resolve, types check, the preview renders, and tests run. Tests run in your browser tab, free.

Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping Monaco editor and calling an LLM is easy, but running an in-browser execution sandbox that handles typechecking, bundling, and headless test execution requires complex web architecture.
What it would actually take: The architecture combines a browser-based IDE (Monaco/CodeMirror), an agent diff planning pipeline, and a client-side execution sandbox using WebAssembly (e.g., WebContainers or browser-bundled Node/TypeScript runtimes like esbuild-wasm). The hardest part is making typecheckers, module resolution, and test runners execute reliably in a restricted browser tab sandbox with low latency, requiring deep browser systems and compiler toolchain expertise.
