Project Description: draw-a-ui

What is the project about?

The project is an application that converts hand-drawn wireframes into HTML code.

What problem does it solve?

It bridges the gap between design and development by allowing users to quickly generate functional HTML/Tailwind code from simple sketches, speeding up the prototyping process.

What are the features of the project?
