How to build a webpage builder like Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, etc? I want to build one with React
I've been building one with https://craft.js.org/ , tailwind, nextjs, and vercel, a few months into it I've got a decent component library, custom domains, subdomains, static pages, accounts, multiple pages, cdn and a bit more. The basics are easy to get going. Making it easy to understand/use, responsive, and all that, is a bit more complex.

Reka.js - Build your own no-code editor ✨
As for the second part of your question, regarding UI. Reka is purely the state management system, so it is designed to help with storing/editing user content and computing an output for that content so you can render that on the browser; it’s not really responsible for the UI part. For building UI’s for your page editor - there’s Craft.js which is another framework that I built for creating page editors. Craft comes with an event system that lets you know which elements is being selected/hovered/dragged and a drag and drop system that lets you move elements around on the screen along with other things that helps you build your own page editor UI. Craft is actually the parent project of Reka. Reka was built to replace Craft’s internal state management system so that you could build entire UI components in Craft in the future. If you’re interested, you could check out the motivation and relationship between Craft and Reka here. As for the demo shown in the video, all the UI interactions (including some that you have mentioned like showing the borders of selected elements) are fairly straightforward, and they’re simply just interacting/mutating the AST state of Reka. Feel free to take a look at the code for the demo.

Where to start building a low-code tool
https://craft.js.org/ - This is probably more like what you're looking for. It's in heavy development still and does lack some features but you can use it with reactive components.

How would you create multiple custom templates using HTML/CSS like Canva?
i think that's how all no-code web editors like carrd, webflow, squarespace work i think (see https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js & https://github.com/artf/grapesjs)

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I'm really enjoying reading through the docs and the tutorial. We've created Lowdefy, a config web-stack which makes it really simple to build quite advanced web apps. We're writing everything in YAML, but it has it's limitations, specifically when doing config type checking and IDE extensions that go beyond just YAML.
I've been looking for a way to have typed objects in the config to do config suggestions and type checking.. PKL looks like it can do this for us. And with the JSON output we might even be able to get there with minimal effort.
Is there anyone here with some PKL experience that would be willing to answer some technical questions re the use of PKL for more advanced, nested config?

Show HN: Retool AI
Awsome! With Lowdefy we tried to build a low-code framework that works like code. We’ve developed a schema in which to define applications and we’ve built all kinds of apps for enterprise customers. Massive, advanced CRM systems, call centre solutions, ticketing systems, a light MRP, all kinds of survey apps and so many dashboards. Even our docs and our website are Lowdefy apps!
Give Lowdefy a try and reach out it you have any questions or want to see what is possible :) (We need to invest a lot more into content and examples, bootstapping is a grind!)

The Surprising Power of Documentation
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.
We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.
This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.

Show HN: ToolJet 1.2 OSS Retool alternative with realtime multiplayer editing
I’m also going to jump in here and say try Lowdefy https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy - co-founder here.
We take a different angle and believe that low code should still work like code. We focus on a developer first approach.
