Summary

This video provides a guide on how to customize and optimize your Dreamflow workspace for maximum efficiency (0:00). The core design philosophy of DreamFlow emphasizes three essential tools for modern developers: a code editor, a visual interface, and an AI prompt panel (0:09-0:27). Users can interact with code, visual properties, select widgets, or chat with an AI agent depending on their task and preferences (0:30-0:42).The video demonstrates two main ways to manage panels:Toggle options at the top: These control the visibility of the module/widget tree (1:09), the properties panel (1:32), and the AI agent panel (1:43). These can also be controlled using shortcut keys (option + 2, 3, or 4) (1:51).Within the panels themselves: Panels can be closed using the 'X' mark or opened by clicking on the bars when collapsed (2:01-2:22).For the code view, additional options are available (2:31):Split view: This allows developers to see both the code and a live preview of the app simultaneously (2:55-3:07).Swap preview and code positions: Users can choose to have the preview on the left or right side (3:10-3:15).Collapse file explorer: The file explorer can be hidden to maximize the space for code and preview (3:27-3:32).Resize panels: The space between panels, such as the code, preview, and AI agent, can be adjusted by dragging (3:34-3:46).The video emphasizes that all these options can be combined to create a tailored workspace that suits individual development styles and needs (3:50-4:26). Users are encouraged to provide feedback for future improvements (4:29-4:41).
