Dessn
Dessn turns a team's existing codebase into a collaborative design canvas where every frame is the real app running from its own code, so designers, PMs and engineers can review what is live, prototype with real components and hand off merge-ready changes, including from coding agents over MCP.

Value & Audience
Value Proposition
Lets anyone on a product team design and prototype directly on the live product's real code and components, so what gets designed is what ships.
Problem Solved
Design files drift from production and handoffs lose detail, while working in the real codebase normally requires an IDE, local setup and coding skills.
