Visual planning for React apps — from idea to scaffolded plan
Nodlume is a visual application-planning workspace for React: map screens, data, APIs, routes, roles, security settings, theme and documentation in one connected system, with target-aware stacks for web, desktop, mobile, terminal and browser extensions (Next.js, Tauri, Expo, Ink, Manifest V3). The output is the part teams actually need — a project report, an implementation plan and scaffolded code you can walk away with, not just a diagram.
Planning-before-coding is having a moment because AI coding agents amplify the cost of unplanned structure; a connected workspace that ends in a plan plus scaffolding fits exactly where agent-driven development needs guardrails.
Who it's for: solo developers and small teams who start projects faster than they structure them, freelancers who need a professional plan artifact before writing code for clients, and teams handing structured specs to AI coding agents instead of vibes. Free tools and open projects available. The honest test: plan a small app you've already built once, and check whether the generated plan captures the decisions you actually got wrong the first time.
