Feature request for product/service

Describe the request
One thing I’ve noticed while using Cursor heavily is that a significant percentage of my prompts are not feature development but visual adjustments:
- Make this button wider
- Move this card left
- Reduce this padding
- Change this text
- Make this section larger
The AI usually makes the correct changes, but I’m still spending tokens and time describing changes that are already visible on the screen.
I think there is an opportunity for Cursor to support a visual editing workflow for frontend projects where users can:
- Click elements directly in the browser
- Edit text and styles visually
- Preview the generated code diff
- Apply changes back to source files
The AI would still handle feature development and code generation, but visual iteration could become direct manipulation rather than a chat interaction.
I became interested in this problem enough that I built an open-source proof of concept called Nuvio for React + Vite + Tailwind projects.

I’m not posting this as a promotion but as evidence that the workflow is technically possible. I’m curious whether other Cursor users experience the same pain point or if most people are happy using prompts for UI iteration.
