SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prototyping provides a fast, throwaway approach to testing design questions about state models and UI options, helping teams decide directions before committing to code.

Core Features & Use Cases

Build tiny logic prototypes to explore state machines and data shapes.
Generate multiple UI variants on a single route to compare layouts and flows.
Keep prototypes lightweight with in-memory state and a simple task runner for rapid iteration.

Quick Start

Start a throwaway prototype from your repo and run the built-in runner to exercise the chosen branch.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build throwaway prototypes to validate state machine logic?▼

To build throwaway prototypes for validating state machines, create lightweight logic paths with in-memory state and a minimal task runner to exercise the chosen branch without committing to production code.

What is the best way to compare UI variants on a single route?▼

The best way to compare UI variants on a single route is to generate multiple layout and flow options within a throwaway prototype setup, allowing rapid visual comparison before finalizing the design direction.

How do I set up a rapid feedback workflow for testing UI design options?▼

Set up a rapid feedback workflow by creating a lightweight, throwaway prototype environment using in-memory state and a simple task runner to quickly iterate through different UI design branches.

When should I use throwaway prototypes instead of production code?▼

Use throwaway prototypes when you need to validate design questions about state models and UI approaches rapidly, helping teams decide directions before committing resources to actual production code.

Do I need external dependencies to run a prototype for state models?▼

No external dependencies are required to run a prototype for state models; the setup relies on a built-in minimal task runner and clear branching between logic and UI paths using in-memory state.
