Piny

Piny is a visual editor that integrates directly into your code editor, like VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. It lets you style websites built with Astro, React, or Next.js using intuitive visual controls for Tailwind CSS. Instead of toggling between a browser and your IDE, you click on elements in your code and adjust styles with sliders and color pickers. All changes are written directly back into your source files, triggering hot reload instantly. It's designed to keep developers in their flow without forcing a context switch.

What makes Piny stand out is its deep integration with the developer workflow. It includes a Tailwind Class Inspector to organize complex styles, allows editing classes within JavaScript strings, and offers AI-assisted drag-and-drop for quickly building UI. A free version provides core styling and navigation features, while the Pro tier unlocks visual element selection, multi-element editing, and custom theme import. It works alongside AI coding assistants and doesn't lock you into a proprietary format—your code remains standard and portable.

This tool is a major time-saver for frontend developers and teams who regularly work with Tailwind CSS. It's perfect for rapidly prototyping component styles, managing large design systems, or onboarding new developers onto a codebase. Whether you're tweaking padding on a button or restructuring a page layout, Piny brings a visual, intuitive layer to the precise world of code.
