This looks fantastic!

In particular, 1. You provide UI widgets (generated from your JSON schema, I presume) to generate the YAML and preview the result so the user can start building without having to invest so much time in learning your schema. 2. You represent web components in a structure (YAML/JSON) that is easy to manipulate with code. 3. Your project is open source so others can build on top of it. I'm amazed how almost every no/low-code project I have seen so far has some form of lock-in with expensive monthly rates when you finally want to deploy.

I recently started building something similar and was actually hacking on it past midnight last night only to wake up and see your post on HN (haha). But fortunately I haven't invested too much time in it--I'm going to rethink my hobby project and perhaps work on something that incorporates what you've done.

Bravo!

Thanks a lot. We were really excited the day we realised we could use Lowdefy to build our own docs, and that we could create a playground where you can see what happens when you change a property.

It would be very interesting to see what your ideas and approaches to the same problem are.
