MagnetPrompt – visual feature board → AI-ready coding prompts
Bakes your kanban into two ready-to-run outputs: a stakeholder PRD and an AI coding prompt tailored to your chosen stack. The stack presets (Next.js + TypeScript, Rails, Flutter) and the built-in gap analysis are the neat bits — if the analyzer reliably surfaces missing auth/error-handling or edge-case requirements this could shave hours off spec-writing; if it’s shallow, it’s just a nice UI for existing prompt templates.
