As a developer, you should build websites using your favorite Jamstack framework.
Prismic allows you to build website sections, that you can connect to a website builder for your client or team. They will create pages from there and you get that content back to your code through our fast API.

I love the idea of making a no-code platform that we as developers can edit not just the styles but the core of the component like its jsx.

Max ideas ahead of time and the team is building tech around it. Amazing stuff!

I think Max really hits the nail on the head when he describes what is wrong with current no-code platform. What he is pitching is basically a visual editor with code as the underlying representation instead of of a platform that hides that representation. My dislike of no-code platforms comes exactly from the fact that I am limited by either not being able to edit the underlying code or having code generated that is so unreadable that trying to edit it is futile.

Also the fact that game designers use visual editing so much could be due to the fact that in game design you always have a camera perspective into a rendered but fixed world and don't have to deal with responsive design.

This guy gets it. I always wondered why developers are so focused on editing with code instead of editing visually. Even though page builders are bulky, clunky, and lack the most optimal end product; they are the future.
