## The problem

Implementing a design means an endless dance: write some CSS, refresh the browser, take a screenshot, paste it into Figma, eyeball the difference, repeat. **Design Mirror kills the dance** — it floats your real Figma frames as a transparent overlay directly on top of your editor and browser, so the comparison is live and exact.

## Key features
