React-Rewrite is a visual editor for React applications that allows developers to edit components visually during local development and automatically writes the changes back to source files. The project combines a proxy server, overlay UI, and source code manipulation to provide a novel interactive editing experience without relying on LLMs. Its ability to handle real-time code generation from UI actions is an innovative combination of existing concepts.
