This is neat! Is the idea to go in the direction of low code app builder or a high fidelity design tool? (or both??). What parts are planned as open source?

So far I've been thinking of it as a prototyping tool where you can (soon) bring your own React components. But probably it'll be more on the side of wireframing/design tool than app builder.

The app frontend is open source while the backend is closed source, at least for now. It should run without the backend, but some things like sharing projects won't work. I'm planning to publish the individual frontend packages to npm as an "SDK for building design tools", so anybody can import "noya-canvas", "noya-renderer", etc, to build their own design tool.

That's awesome, thanks for sharing those components with the world!
