Visual editing and text files

One app definition, three ways to edit it: the visual editor, readable text files, or AI. Changes stay in sync because every tool edits the same definition.

What it gives you

  • Visual editors for screens, automations, and data models
  • Text files are human-readable and reviewable in version control
  • Free to move between editing styles at any time
  • One shared definition means fewer surprises between design and runtime

A worked concept

A builder lays out a review screen in the visual editor, a teammate adjusts the underlying layout file in a pull request, and the AI drafter proposes an extra validation step — all against the same document.

How it works

Shared app definition

Screens, data, automations, and API connections are structured documents. The visual editor works on those same documents — one source of truth.

Reviewable changes

Because app definitions are structured text, changes can be reviewed like code — part of the planned review and release workflow.

Already running underneath

The platform already runs defined screens and automations today; the visual editor and file tooling are the planned authoring layer on top.

Worth knowing

  • The visual editor and the review/release workflow are still being built
  • App definitions are purpose-built for the Floyant platform
  • Custom code lives in your own connected services — always under your control
