Real-Time Bidirectional Editing Between Code Editor and GUI via LSP Server
2025-07-02

A programmer built a proof-of-concept system using an LSP server to enable real-time bidirectional editing between any modern code editor and a GUI. Changes in the code editor instantly update the GUI, and vice-versa, solving a key limitation of existing code-based CAD systems. This allows users to leverage their preferred editors while enjoying real-time visual feedback. While currently a small demo, it showcases the potential of LSP servers for building more powerful code-based CAD tools.
