What does it take to make a nice application? How do you incorporate a design in your application? It is common knowledge that these tasks are time-consuming, and the tool you use can play a key role in making them easier.

What is Live Editing?

Live Editing is a revolutionary way to design applications: the moment you make a design change, you can easily observe its effect, giving your application-making process a much more natural flow.

This allows you to change Languages, Events, Design Systems, and Themes - including transformations - and see them immediately in the running application, even without saving!

See more about Live Editing on the GX26 conference's video.
