## TESIGN TAKE

Instead of reading an agent's explanation as text, you get a diagram — and you keep the conversation going on the diagram itself.

## WHY IT MATTERS

When an agent rewrites a lot of code, following how the pieces connect from text alone is hard. Whiteboard puts people and agents on one canvas to design the structure together: the agent draws the flow, and you can ask it in plain words to redraw it another way.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- A desktop app for macOS and Fedora. Connect a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex from the welcome screen, and the agent uses an SDK to draw on the in-app canvas. The write-up, the flow diagram and the code it describes sit side by side.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Developers and teams who design and review larger changes together with a coding agent.

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# Download the app from install.dev.fast, open it, and connect Claude Code or Codex from the welcome screen.
```

## CAVEATS

- Per the README, downloads exist only for macOS and Fedora. It is only useful alongside a coding agent you already run.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
