Nice! I especially like that one can easily view and edit the code generated.
How long did it take you to arrive at this version?
Thank you for the kind words! From the germ of the "code is source of truth, code editor and design tool are just lenses to edit it" to where we are today, about 2 years with a small team. A lot of it went into "table stakes" (VSCode-in-the-browser, multifile, npm imports, console, performance, real-time updates). The design tool side has had a lot of experiments and prototypes, and is finally getting the love it deserves :)
