Stately is a powerful platform that transforms ideas into executable diagrams and code in minutes, serving as a single source of truth for all logic. It caters to both frontend user flows and backend workflows, enabling visual building and deployment of complex logic.
Key Features:
- Visual Editor for Collaboration: A drag-and-drop editor designed for contributors of all backgrounds, unifying code, diagrams, documentation, and test generation.
- AI-Powered Assistance: AI helps at every phase, guided by state machines, while the visual editor allows humans to audit and enhance the AI's work.
- No-Code Flow Creation & Simulation: Rapidly prototype and gather requirements without technical details. Simulate designs, test, and instantly try out prototypes as auto-generated React apps.
- Community & Feedback: Explore and share community diagrams for inspiration and feedback.
- Executable Diagrams with XState: Run diagrams using XState, an open-source library for orchestrating state in JavaScript/TypeScript apps. XState supports event-driven programming, state machines, statecharts, and the actor model for robust logic.
- Developer Tooling Integration:
- Bidirectional Updates: Seamless synchronization between code and visualization.
- IDE Extension: A VS Code extension brings Stately's power directly into the development environment.
- Visualize Existing Code: Automatically visualize Redux, Zustand, and other codebases even without XState.
- Code Generation:
- React App Generation: Jumpstart product development by generating React apps from diagrams, allowing visual iteration or direct code extension.
- Automated Test Generation: Keep test coverage robust and up-to-date with automatically generated tests.
- Code Export: Export all generated code in JavaScript or TypeScript.
- GitHub Integration: Sync Stately with your codebase via GitHub.
- Debugging & Monitoring:
- Stately Inspector: Inspect running applications to test and debug logic.
- Sequence Diagrams: Visualize communication between actors in running apps.
- Living Documentation & Alignment:
- Future-Proof Code: Clear visualizations make code easy to understand and modify years later.
- Living Documentation: Keeps teams in sync without extra overhead.
- Versioning & Export: Save versions, view history, and export as Markdown stories, Mermaid drawings, or JSON documents.
- Diagram Summaries: Quickly get oriented with generated diagram summaries.
Stately empowers teams to design, build, and maintain complex application logic with clarity, collaboration, and confidence.
