  • While not quite ready for public consumption, I'm working on a project that allows front end developers to build websites visually with templates and utility classes called ProductDiv https://github.com/awestbro/productdiv.

    As a web developer of ~10 years I wanted a tool that could match the productivity of something like Elementor while producing clean code. There are a few other tools out there, but I wanted something that:

    - Focused on utility classes and clean code

    - Is extensible with your own templates

    - Local config, not service based so everything is version controlled and always available for all members of your team

    - Framework agnostic, but configurable for utility classes (currently bootstrap) with any framework that produces HTML

    Visually building and sites is a game changer for me as I can save a ton of time dragging templates onto pages while making small adjustments with the utility class editor.

    To give it a try, you can download the repo, npm i, and npm run dev. I'd love some feedback on UX!
