craft.js

I was planning on building something similar. My first attempt involved trying to get grapesjs to work with react. This attempt was very cumbersome because grapesjs generated html, and I would try to manipulate the html into react. https://github.com/artf/grapesjs Later however, I discovered craft.js, which is basically a framework for creating systems similar to this (page/component editors). Craft.js was inspired by grapesjs, but is specifically made for react. https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js Of course craft.js only solves the UI editor, not the code parsing/generation part. Babel is an obvious choice for code generation/manipulation, but I found its imperative approach unnecessarily complicated, so I built react-ast to enable declarative and composable code generation using react. https://github.com/clayrisser/react-ast The part I

Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant. I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators). Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI. Best of luck to you both! [0] https://github.com/premieroctet/openchakra [1] https://github.com/blocks/blocks

Congrats, weweb.io definitely looks exciting. For anyone interested, recently I had to research opensource visual page builder/websites options and these were top of the list: https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js (React) https://github.com/paperbits/paperbits-core (Full website, uses Firebase) https://github.com/react-ui-builder/react-ui-builder-editor (React) https://github.com/premieroctet/openchakra (Editor for Chakra UI) https://github.com/BuilderIO/builder (Not sure if this really is open source)

Btw, you seem to have misspelled the link to the landing demo at https://github.com/prevwong/craft.js/blob/master/packages/ex...
