I'm not having much success with this beyond very basic components. I think I'd have more success iteratively working with ChatGPT or Claude directly, and then pasting the code into jsfiddle, pastebin, or replit to see the results and iterate.

I understand your point, iterating with ChatGPT or Claude can be a great approach for many cases. Our focus with Webcrumbs is to speed up front-end component creation, especially for those looking for a quicker, more direct solution. But of course, there's always room for improvement! If you have specific suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
When exporting the code, all the field values are hard coded in the react/html and no easy way to get data from a rest/api.

Maybe i am missing something. I tried the trading template

Also: BUG report.

I asked for a complex field change. This gave me an orange error message "failed try again". But now there is no abort/cancel button. Only a retry button.

Good luck

I’m begging you to try out cursor and sonnet as the model.

It is incredible, and it genuinely feels like magic when it comes to codebase context.

Thank you, great idea! have you joined at the discord channel?
In this case is it not faster to just code the component yourself?
