LocalStudio.dev is a browser-only React workspace with a landing app, an editor app, and shared brand tokens.
apps/landingserves the public product page at/.apps/editorserves the editor at/editor/.packages/brandcontains shared CSS and design tokens.dist/is generated bynpm run buildand is not committed.
The editor keeps product state in serializable domain objects under apps/editor/src/domain. React UI and view-model orchestration live under apps/editor/src/ui. Browser integrations live under apps/editor/src/services.
PowerPoint (.pptx) import is an editor service flow. The browser reads the selected package, parses supported slide
content, maps it into the same serializable project document used by generated and hand-edited decks, and then returns
the user to the normal editor surface. Google Slides and Keynote decks should be exported as .pptx before import.
Projects are saved through the browser File System Access API. The app writes project metadata and assets to a user-selected folder. Model weights and browser AI caches stay in browser-managed storage, not in the project folder.
LocalStudio can mirror local projects to S3-compatible storage so assets and public-share payloads are reachable outside the local folder. MinIO is the development and self-hosted example, while the same endpoint, bucket, region, public base URL, and prefix settings can point at AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or another compatible service. The editable source of truth still starts as the local project folder; the mirror carries project JSON, assets, history, config, and share payloads needed for public links and remote reimport.
LocalStudio.dev uses Chrome built-in AI APIs when available and WebGPU/Hugging Face model paths for local browser execution. Some flows require Chrome experimental features, WebGPU support, and enough local disk space for model caches.
The production build places the landing app at the site root and the editor under /editor/. GitHub Pages builds can set LOCALSTUDIO_BASE_PATH so assets work from a project Pages subpath.
