Gab (linkedin.com/in/gabriella-hachem/) and Nim (linkedin.com/in/nim-cheema/) are the co-founders of a startup called Dessn (join.dive.club/dessn-content) which allows designers to prototype in the context of their production codebase (without any of the setup).

So I asked them to hook it up to the Inflight (inflight.co/) repo and give me a little demo to see what’s possible.

I’m pretty sold 👀
