No login or signup necessary. You can access the editor directly.

The Story Behind It

It seemed like most website builders didn't provide a way to export your project as code. I thought this would be useful for small businesses and startups when they're ready to transition their website to developers.

Technical Highlights

I made the editor completely in Vanilla JS. Vanilla JS is pretty flexible and typically incurs less tech debt than frameworks. I actually made the editor as a single html file so that it can be easily downloaded and used offline.

A Visual HTML Editor to Speed up your Workflow

Recently I created a visual HTML editor that has the following features:

free and open source
edit css styles
create and use components
export code
import code
mobile support
classes
animations
css variables
and a few basic templates

I didn't make this to replace developers (not sure you ever could), but rather to make website building a bit faster.

I do a lot of webdev work, and wanted a way to create a way to make basic pages with a visual editor.

I find that I typically start my projects in this editor so I can quickly get the visuals for the app worked out. Then I export the code and start working out the js logic in vscode or something.

Hope you find this handy, feel free to clone it if you want to make it your own 🌝.

You can also download the editor to use it offline. It's a single html file so it's easy to save and use.

It's still pretty new so if you have any suggestions I'd love to here them!
