safe path to the *existing* codebase for PMs & Designers

23 followers

krosswalk allows designers and PMs to interact with the *existing* codebase without chaos. Instead of PRDs + Figma that drift from reality, the team can ask questions, validate behavior in the actual codebase, iterate together, and hand engineers working features for them to review (staying in control of code quality).

as a PM for 7 years, I’d started to go numb as a PM to hearing, “we can’t get to that for x weeks until a developer is freed up.” I wanted impact to rely more on my own agency, so I got access to our repo and started using tools like claude code to understand the codebase and write better PRDs... which quickly turned into real pull requests. that’s when I saw the future the best software teams will be made of 100% builders, differentiated less by title and more by what they optimize for: product intuition vs. systems rigor the first wave is already here - current AI coding tools like claude code and cursor are letting non-technical teammates create real things but only the most innovate teams like ramp are adopting this “all builders” mindset I think that's because current tooling is optimized for engineering workflows. the path from “i have an idea” to “this is safe to ship” is still messy. as more of the team becomes hands-on, we need an interface that makes changes easy to preview, easy to review, and hard to mess up krosswalk.io is the missing interface! I'm so grateful to have access to the tools that I have, the friends and family that I have, as well as all of you... this journey has been incredibly fun and I can't wait to get more in the weeds with you :)

Congrats on the launch, Justin — “PRD + Figma drift from reality” is basically a law of physics 😅
How does krosswalk keep non-engineers powerful without letting them accidentally YOLO the repo? Do you use guardrails like sandbox previews, approvals, or “read-only by default” paths? Also: what’s the first workflow you see teams adopt — bug fixes, UI tweaks, or writing PRDs that cite actual code?
