Built in 54 days by a solo developer — a pace only possible with deep domain expertise and AI-assisted development.
SaaS pricing model with low variable costs. Primary expense is Claude API at ~$0.01-0.05 per AI generation.
The most painful bottleneck in software development. Figma designs look perfect — then developers spend hours manually translating them into code, losing fidelity every time.
The UI design tools market is ~$15B and growing 12%+ annually. Figma alone reached a $20B valuation. Tailwind has 500K+ weekly npm downloads — no dedicated design tool serves this audience.
The design is the code. No interpretation, no fidelity loss, no wasted developer hours.
Speaks the language developers already use. Not generic CSS — purpose-built for the Tailwind ecosystem.
Competitors bolt AI on. Tela builds around it — wizard + chat + SSE streaming + dynamic generation.
Role-based workspaces with invitations, project folders, and member management. Enterprise-ready out of the box.
Threaded discussions, @mentions, real-time editing. Designers and developers in the same tool.
MCP server lets AI agents interact with Tela. Future-proof integration with the AI ecosystem.
Reduces UI build time from days to hours. 200+ hours/year saved per designer.
More usage → better prompts → better designs → more usage. Template marketplace potential.
Figma dominates design but can't solve the handoff. Tela can. AI-native design that outputs production Tailwind code, with multi-tenant organisations, threaded comments, email notifications, and MCP integration — in a $15B market growing 12% annually. Already live at tela.jtdigital.si. Next step: Stripe billing, free tier, and the Tailwind developer community.
