FINALLY, THE HANDOFF IS DEAD

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The traditional designer/developer handoff process creates barriers between disciplines, and while AI tools increase individual productivity, they often lead to throwing more work "over the wall" faster without better collaboration. A new app called Intent aims to solve this by creating shared workspaces where designers and developers can collaborate using the same surface while maintaining their preferred tools and expertise. This approach encodes design systems and development preferences into the workspace, ensuring alignment and smooth handoffs between team members and AI agents.
