  3. jit-browser-tailwindcss

    Client side api to generate css via tailwind jit in the browser - Dynamic tailwindcss!

    > Some interesting challenges: 1. There is a React parser that is used to parse, insert the style, and serialize it back to code 2.

    here's another approach I used with dynamic react

  4. auto-cms

    Auto turn any webpage into editable CMS without coding.

    I made a WYSIWYG tool to edit HTML file without polluting the code. It works well for landing pages but it doesn't work well with js-generated webapp.

  5. web-clone

    Recursively clone a website with url rewrite in controlled manner.

    Since you mentioned cloning, feel free to hack on this https://github.com/beenotung/web-clone

  6. webstudio

    Open source website builder and Webflow alternative. Webstudio is an advanced visual builder that connects to any headless CMS, supports all CSS properties, and can be hosted anywhere, including with us.

    "the thing I actually want is just Webflow but without the BS and predatory pricing" - checkout Webstudio, it's free and open source - https://webstudio.is/

  7. chrome-extension

    Discontinued The Onlook Chrome extension (by onlook-dev)

    No problem. This is very poorly documented but this entire repo is built in Svelte. I'm porting over functionalities from it so this is a much more mature editor. If there's a specific implementation you want to learn about, let me know :)

    I'm always happy to talk about Svelte! Though, I'm starting to enjoy the flexibility of jsx now that I'm back to using React.

  8. SingleFile

    Web Extension for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file

    This looks nice.

    Sorry for off-loading the research to you but how does it compare to SingleFile (Chrome extension based)? I can't tell what the output would be.
