I think another thing interesting about Plasmic is that it is a bit ambitious in trying to combine some seemingly disparate genres:

- Webflow, Wordpress and other page builders

- Retool and other tool builders

- Glide and no-code app builders

- Contentful and other CMSes

Today these are different tools to specialize in, but the line between, say, a website and an application is blurry (consider an ecommerce storefront with user logins, or a customer portal). With the right foundations, we think these can be unified—Plasmic’s UI can adapt to different levels of control for different personas/tasks.

So a newer use case is that you can use it to build applications as well as websites, for both developers and non-developers. This is the more experimental side of the project, beyond the content management use case.
