I agree that there's a clear difference between the two. Makeswift sites aren't just a "presentation", though. They're hybrid (server-side rendered on first load and client-side rendered after) React apps. And because of that you can have components that do all sorts of things a "presentation" can't do. For example, you can pull in data from third party APIs, you can build dynamic UIs with dialogs, you can animate components, you can submit forms, etc.

Not all of this is exposed just yet, which is why we're in early access. But a Makeswift site couldn't be further away from a "presentation builder".

That being said, it does seem the way we're presenting ourselves leaves much to be desired. So I appreciate you pointing that you!
