This is so good and timely. CSS can be a big time killer when you need to be creative. With your tool you can get straight to design work and let your creatives juices flow without fighting with css. Your tool builds the css automatically and even shows you the css as it builds. A great teaching benefit of the tool. Well done. I highly recommend that people support you in Patreon as I do, so you can keep expanding this tool. RB
at the moment it doesnt, even though the items it loads are also just basic HTML pages. This means it wouldnt be hard to add the feature. However i decided against it because there are too many ways to write CSS and it would take a really long time for me to code for all of them. Asking users to follow certain rules when creating their HTML pages for importing would work, but users are never good at following instructions and so the effort of creating the feature wouldnt be worth it because i'll end up removing it later due to too many errors, caused by complex HTML pages. i'll slowly improve how the css is imported and once i can account for all possibilities, i'll add the feature. Why do you need the feature?
@@QuickProgramming I ask because I think your tool can improve pages I've already built. Opening them in you tool and letting your tool take over the css seems easier than creating the page from scratch. But I understand you point. CSS can be cobbled together so many different ways. It probably is better to just past existing text into a fresh page in your tool.
@@rpbale i understand. i'll keep working on it so that it can get to a level where i can allow importing of existing pages. If this takes off and i get enough people using it, i'll add alot more features. Theres one feature am working on that i think may help you here. Its Macros. These will be short scripts you can create, that automate specific tasks. You can create a page from scratch and have the tool record your every button click etc. Then you save that. Next time you can simply click that button to get the same thing created again. That way you can create base pages in advance and use them as a starting point when you need to speed things up. However, i'll still work towards the importing feature over time

Thanks for this awesome review and support on patreon. i really appreciate it
this tool has a greater potential. If we can design like figma here, we can export from that design itself without writing code again.
Does the tool allow you to import or open an existing html page not originally created in the tool?
