Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured something else out.

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!

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/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)
