Unfortunately greed has made Software as a Service (online subscription based) the default business strategy. On the other hand, I think companies underestimate just how much they could dominate the entire space with a singe payment self hosted software.
He means the end product should be just like a real website with front end, (next js, React). Wordpress is bad for scalability, the structure of code is different. it uses lots of plugins and other things)
I actually started working on something like that as a side project, but dropped it at some point. My idea was to have the code on one side and the drag-and-drop UI builder on the other side and you should be able to mix and match. Write the code see the live changes in UI, drag the new button see the code update in real life. I’m more of a dev actually so my design sucks but it was an interesting project.
Webflow is the solid choice currently, because you can export all of the code. Every UX/UI designer needs to know how to code in order to be able to communicate with front-end development teams. My future choice will be RIVE.
that's gonna be a gigantic project based on what you said, I'm thinking something similar to Wordpress or rather Elementor but more robust and with better and a unified UI, it can be something built with Javascript or something using web assembly and one of the low level languages (C#, Rust...etc) if it's up to me, it should be completely open source, and everybody can contribute via Git
Hello, thank you. I learned html in 5th grade and then in highschool(2nd year highschool) so this just confirmed that I need to learn new languages. Particularly python. Im a fine arts degree holder haha
And the CMS would be what? As others have mentioned, Divi, Bricks et al for WP already do what you're describing. I get that they are tied to WordPress but a CMS is needed for many sites. So this would somehow have to be included. Additionally, your first point about hand-coding and animating is only true for some. Many devs have the tooling and capability to build sites as fast as they can be built in Webflow or Framer. This includes animations. And as you well know, Webflow and Framer have fairly limited animation capability compared to what GSAP can do. Simple timelines take little time in GSAP. Complex stuff requires GSAP, Rive etc.
I'd like to see the setups/tooling you're referring to for those who deal in hand coding stuff like GSAP/threejs. Can you elaborate on that a bit more? It would be cool to take a top framer developer and a top hand coding developer and have them take on the task of bringing to life an interactive/animated landing page to see just how long it takes them.

You are describing WordPress my friend.
🤡 🤣
Not really
Remember Addifect-it's the tool that bridges the gap!

@@ares0aoram We had this in 1998: Microsoft Frontpage.

What you propose is not the same thing like a wp press builder like Divi?

4:00 This sounds like what Dreamweaver was trying to accomplish back in the day before Adobe went to a subscription model.
What about grapesjs?
Indeed.. let's build it...
So you want Dreamweaver back again? ;)

It's called Addifect, and it's coming soon!💻
Hey Gary, I just sent you a detailed email about the tool. Looking forward to your reply!
@ Which email did you send to?

I will make a tweet about this and refer you to it
Love your vids
Breakdance or Oxygen. I strongly suggest Breakdance at the moment.

make a demo design for it
its called wordpress

@@LayoutAlchemy What's this tool about?
I’m building something similar.
hit me up in the discord
Dreamweaver, but it's probably outdated these days.
You can try NEXT😅
I guess you can also use actual AI power tools, like cursor, to both own the code and mostly AI generate it and ask any and all questions on it.
I just want one button, one click and it does everything.
Won't happen for anything beyond cookie-cutter use cases. Like, a simple dashboard or a simple app.
