Would be nice to have this as a VSCode plugin

[rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Codux development team is great. I used it for a while just to check it out and they emailed me asking for a 15 min feedback session to see how I feel about the app and how it should be improved. Give them support because they are working really hard on this project.

this is pretty cool, also glad to see some non AI content

[LalanDesai]

The real question is, does it have a dark theme?

[backpacklv]

I think the coolest thing is how easy it is to switch from Codux to VSCode and back! I'd absolutely love something like this for Vue. Don't know if I'd end up using it on a daily basis, but I'd definitely play with it for my projects!

I'm a Back End dev, though often required to maintain or extend Front End.
I will massively use this as it means I can get a new idea off the ground quickly, creating a slick front end which I can then adapt to add my Back End connections. Game changer for personal projects, and might become the way forward for my workplace where we would be wanting to convert old interfaces to a nicer React Front End

[MobiusCoin]

Kinda cool I guess. It's pretty restrictive currently, no Tailwind support, React only. Seems like a cool collab tool for devs and designers.

[StephenAinsworth]

I feel like there's a massive market to have a tailwind visual editor

[sokrates]

This would be perfect as a workflow between designers and developers. The designers can build their components, and layout, and the devs can quickly hook it up to a backend server and make it dynamic. I'm excited to see where this will take us.

This looks awesome for designers that want to try out some things straight into the code, like some do in the developer tools, but with better feel. The possibilities are great. For developers, would be nice to have a vscode plugin of some sort that could integrate everything. Really impressive!

I just started learning web development and I think this is really awesome. I will definitely try this! The visuals will really help me code UIs especially in display property. Thank you Codux team! keep up the great work <3

[JakeJJKs]

Oh my god. This feels like how I started out in web development. Dreamweaver for the HTML, and then the code editor to break into PHP! I dig it!

[RachelTheStrong]

As an artist that is learning UI and HTML and CSS, Codux looks very promising.

Thank you Codux for sponsoring this video!

[ThePotatoChronicler]

Bro, you just made me watch an entire unskippable Wix ad 💀

[lowwastehighmelanin]

The nostalgia slammed into me so hard when you showed Dreamweaver. I learned my first bits of coding in high school on that. 😍

I have missed Dreamweaver. I can't wait to try this tool!!!

[jaejonmalloy]

This just simultaneously made and wrecked my day. I had specific tasks planned, and they probably just got pushed to tomorrow. I'm gonna play.. I'm gonna play so friggin hard..

[chovbee]

I think this is definitely something I would adopt. I wouldn't make this my new way of building websites, however, it does seem like it can help cut down on development time for simple yet large components. Not sure if that makes sense but in my head it does, I think it'll be a good tool to adopt.

[sonmangaking]

This is super cool can’t wait to try this out

[leonardomollmannscholler]

I think it is a clear upgrade over the storybooks, I will definitely try this in my next big project, loved the way that it's loose coupled to the source code

[RealSLK]

SO excited for this. Once you have a firm grasp of coding, a tool like this becomes such a time and life saver particulary if the project you are working on has a lot of intricate front end features. You get to make them do what you want AND look how you want in real time. Love it. Wonder if regular .js files will work... let me try it out.
