Dragondrop a visual UI editor for developers

As a developer I find using existing web UI builders like Webflow, Wix and so on very limiting and cumbersom as you loose the ability to change the code directly. So I set out to build my own editor that directly sync with code. This way I can both edit the code to add advanced functionality as well as dropping new components and styling them visually on the page. I have been working on this as a side project for quite a while and it is finally coming together. You can try it at https://dragondrop.app. Please bear in mind that it's still very much a work in progress so there are many bugs to be fixed and it probably doesn't do anything useful other than demoing the concept yet. I will soon be adding new functionality like connecting to a github repository and editing the code in a new panel.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments. I'm happy to hear your honest feedback. I have shown it to a few friends and colleagues and I know that generally many devs don't like to touch these type of visual UI editors at all, but I find them useful and think they could speed up the work a lot if they work properly.

Anyway adios for now and I'll keep you posted.
