Hi Product Hunt! 👋 ArachStudio helps designers & developers live-edit codebases & components online. How it works: Connect GitHub via access token. Scan & load your project path. Make real-time style edits in the visual preview (desktop/mobile). Export the final product! Help us decide: We are testing two different demo versions. Try both links and tell us which experience you prefer in the comments!

The GitHub-token connect step is the part I'd want to understand before pointing this at a real repo, since a token that can push edits is a broad grant. When I connect, does ArachStudio take a fine-grained token scoped to one repo, and is it held client-side in my session or stored server-side against my account? On export, does it commit straight to the connected branch or open a separate branch so I can review the diff before it lands?
Live-editing components straight from GitHub is such a time-saver — usually that loop involves cloning, editing locally, then pushing back. Does it handle merge conflicts if someone else pushes while you're editing live?
Live-editing a connected GitHub repo in the browser with a live desktop/mobile preview is genuinely impressive, especially how cleanly the path scan loads without extra config. Curious how you handle conflicts if someone edits locally while the visual session is open.
a few people in the thread are praising how painless the GitHub token setup is, that's actually the part that'd make me pause. what scope does the token need, can it be limited to a single repo, or does it need broader account access? and is it ever persisted on your servers or only held client-side for the session?
The visual preview toggling between desktop and mobile while editing styles in real time is genuinely clever. Most visual editors force you to reload or switch contexts, so keeping it live and responsive makes the iteration loop feel really tight.
the live edit idea is pretty cool honestly, but one thing that would help a lot is letting teams leave inline comments on specific elements during a review session, kind of like figma but tied to the actual css classes. would make handoff way smoother
