Stop Wasting Dev Time on UI Tweaks - Baloon.dev Just Got Smarter (And It's Going Open Source)

If you've ever been pulled off real work to fix padding or update button text... this one's for you.

I'm building baloon.dev - a tool that helps tech founders, PMs, and designers make frontend changes directly on GitHub using simple prompts.

No setup. AI-powered. All changes go through clean Pull Requests.

With Changelog v2.3, things just got better - and we’re also gearing up for something big:
🧪 An open source version is on the way.

🚀 What’s New in v2.3?

🔸 Try Baloon Without Connecting GitHub

You can now use a sample project to explore baloon before linking your own repo.
Edit UI and copy using natural prompts and see changes instantly.

👉 Try the sample project

JIRA Integration Demo

🔸 JIRA Integration

Connect your JIRA board, select a ticket, and generate a PR automatically.
Baloon reads the ticket content and builds the change - no code or dev needed.

🔸 Smarter AI Chat & Code Search

Prompt things like:

"Make this button blue on hover"
"Replace all 'subscription' labels with 'plan'"
"Add spacing below this image section"

You’ll get real-time suggestions that are now even more accurate and context-aware.

💡 Why We Built Baloon

Every dev has had their deep work interrupted for minor copy or UI requests.
Baloon solves that.

✅ Let non-devs handle small changes
✅ Keep all changes versioned through PRs
✅ Free up devs for high-leverage work
✅ Accelerate product cycles

We’re working on an open source version of baloon.

It’ll let you:

Run locally or self-host
Connect to your own GitHub projects
Use the same AI-powered editing experience
Customize or contribute to the code
