02 — THE EXPORT
design to code, and back again
The export panel is not a generator guessing at your intent. It prints the tree you are looking at — HTML, React or Tailwind — and the numbers come out the same to the hundredth of a pixel.
Export — scratchpad.design

01
three targets, one tree
HTML with inline styles, React components, or Tailwind classes — switch the tab, not the design.
02
paste HTML back in
Drop markup onto the canvas and it renders as editable layers. The loop closes both ways.
03
zero drift, by construction
The renderer and the exporter read the same style function, so they cannot disagree.
05 — THE SURFACE
live on the canvas, not an image
Thirty GPU shaders sit on the canvas as ordinary layers. Every tile below is running right now — resize it, restyle it, put type on top of it, and it stays a shader all the way through to the export.
