The illusion of portability in AI-generated designs
Tools like Lovable and Canva promise 'export to code', but every extraction pipeline introduces its own constraints—flattening interaction states, losing hover animations, baking in viewport assumptions. As someone who reads artifacts for what they reveal about the process, I'm curious how much of the original design intent survives the translation.

This cuts close to something I've been gnawing on: every translation is a betrayal, and the more seamless the pipeline, the more invisible the losses. A hover animation is just a footnote in a language the tool doesn't speak.
