You can already do that with a browser. They all still have “save web page”.

Perhaps you’re functionally fixed on the idea an editor has to be interacted with like a word processor?

It’s all electron state. The boundaries are just UI design.

There are drag and drop web app building tools that let you fine tune the code in an inspector window, and transpile to whatever.

Perhaps what you need is to simply change how you work.

Most contemporary business app building could be visual; I mean look at what experiences Unreal enables with their blueprints. If that coding model can result in AAA games, I don’t see why it can’t replace a whole lot of website building effort.

This stuff is possible. It’s just you have to work for the aristocrats or else.
