As a frontend developer. I've always found that I can boost my current projects by copying sections or components from previous ones. To keep track of these components, I created a website where I can easily copy and paste them to enhance my work. I believe this can help others too, so I've made it free for all. Additionally, I've included an editor where anyone can build their own React or HTML projects using Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS.
This looks great, and the editor is nice and snappy. I'm not a react guy but might have to learn...
Did you use a component library to build the editor? I see you're using next.js for the site, but was there anything that got you up and running faster from the UI perspective?
Thank you for the comment. We did not use any component library for the editor. Next.js is also used in the editor. We have plans to make the editor open-source. As we built it for personal use, we will polish it and make it live.
Your FAQ mentions "free version you can only use it for your personal purpose", yet the license for the components on GitHub is MIT. Can you clarify what exactly is free and what you're selling?
Maybe this is obvious, but thank you for making the option to export to raw HTML and not just React components! I've been taking a step back from doing things the react way, and have been struggling with design (so much so that I'm contracting out design work) so this tool comes just in time for me! Great stuff!
You might want to add a "Show HN:" to the front of the title to get more feedback, because this looks pretty decent to me, so I'm a little surprised how little of a reaction you've gotten.
I will say that "components" might be the wrong word - these are fully baked page layouts, which are great time-savers.
The FAQ also has a question about getting refunds, which seems odd on a page that has no costs or pricing?
In short, your marketing of this might need some polish, but the actual content and functionality looks pretty good!
Yes, and they are now are receiving actual responses now that they are doing it the right way. I guess the system works, and is it not awesome that we have such a great community who welcomes people in?
I want the ability to have something like this integrated with VS code. I want to be able to start typing out a component name, or press a key shortcut to see components... scroll through... select the export format (React). And then see it rendered in a sideview, with my own theming applied. Use nostril inhale and exhale to tweak certain things.. and then of course, hook it up to data by dragging a little arrow from the 'data' buckets on my hud to the component.
Even better, I want to pick components from a tool window, move them around and resize them with the mouse and have the code automatically generated for me, if possible well hidden so I don't even have to look at it.
Somehow this was standard twentyfive years ago, how could we have regressed so much?

We're way better off without them
p.s. - I think that your project deserves much more attention from HN
