What Blip Solves

The developer built Blip to address a specific communication problem when working with AI coding assistants: the back-and-forth of describing UI changes verbally. Examples from the source include: "Move the button 20px left," "No, the other button," and "The padding between the second and third section." This process often wastes more time than implementing the actual fix.

How It Works

Blip opens your running application with drawing tools overlaid on top. You can:

  • Circle a button
  • Draw an arrow
  • Write text like "add more padding here"

After annotating the screenshot, you hit send. Claude Code receives the annotated image and writes the corresponding code to implement the changes you indicated.
