Why the running product is the best place to work.

Most developers learn a product by running it. Yet our tools still separate code from result — we edit text, reload, and hope. WireMark inverts this: the running product is the primary surface, and the source behind it lives a keystroke away.

The loop is simple: observe, mark up, express intent, implement, compare, verify, approve or revert. Every step is attributable, and nothing ships without evidence.

Why the loop matters

Because the product is running, you see the effect of every change immediately. No more blind edits, no more guessing which selector maps to which component — the canvas shows you.

  • The product is the source of truth
  • Locked selectors stay authoritative
  • Source candidates are ranked and honest
  • Change sets are attributable and reversible
  • Evidence ships with every approval

A DOM-only experiment is not a completed source change. Verify the rendered result before you call it done.

WireMark principle

Safe to experiment

Previews are sandboxed: no Node or Electron API reaches them, no device permissions, no untrusted navigation. Your working tree stays clean while you experiment in app-owned Git worktrees.

Final thoughts

WireMark is desktop-first. When you are ready to move beyond the editor, connect a repository and see your work running on the canvas.
