Product Overview
What is Opacity?
Opacity is a software development platform built around a shared visual canvas that serves as the source of truth for both design and code. Teams can design interfaces, create and publish code components, and install those components into existing codebases. It also brings Git-style workflows—including branching, pull requests, diffs, and merges—directly into the design environment, helping product, design, and engineering teams collaborate without repeatedly translating designs into code.
Key Features
Canvas as Source of Truth
Uses a shared canvas to keep design decisions and implementation aligned in one working environment.
Design-to-Code Components
Enables teams to design, version, and publish reusable code components directly from the canvas.
Existing Codebase Integration
Lets developers install created components into existing projects instead of rebuilding interfaces from scratch.
Git-Style Design Workflows
Supports branching, pull requests, diffs, and merges on the canvas for structured collaboration and review.
Design-Aware AI
Provides AI assistance that works with the team's design context across design, development, and deployment workflows.
Use Cases
- Design System Development : Create reusable UI components that stay connected to their visual definitions and production implementation.
- Product Team Collaboration : Give designers, engineers, and product teams a shared workspace for reviewing and evolving interface work.
- Component Delivery : Move approved interface components into an existing application codebase with less manual handoff work.
- Design Version Control : Use branches, diffs, pull requests, and merges to manage parallel design and component changes.
- Interface Iteration : Test, review, and refine UI changes while maintaining a direct connection between the canvas and code.
