ReacType is a rapid prototyping tool that allows users visualize their application architecture dynamically, employing a drag-and-drop canvas display and an interactive, real-time component code preview that can be exported as a React app for developers employing React component architecture alongside the comprehensive type-checking of TypeScript. In other words, you can draw prototypes and export React / TypeScript code!
