This is incredibly impressive engineering and a wonderful UI! As a dev, I would have to agree with some of the other comments here about access to generated code. I'd definitely suggest this to non-tech friends but I wouldn't see much of a use for it personally without code output.

I was curious what your plans are for code output in the future, have you considered some kind of React integration? If this tool had Storybook-style codebase integration I would 100% pay for a subscription. For example, being able to export the website design as a React project with organized components, allow me to modify the component code to customize behavior, and continue to iterate on the design and apply changes to my codebase?

I think an important thing for me would be to have the ability to continue to modify the design after exporting and be able to apply the design changes without having to lose my code changes.

Obviously just my personal preference so take that with a grain of salt, but I know with that feature this would completely replace Figma in my workflow and would definitely be worth paying for.

Congratulations on your launch!

Code export wasn't our original plan, but we've been thinking about it more and more. It seems like Repaint is only a couple steps away from a pretty sweet "design tool for real code".

You're right about the exporting though. We're not sure exactly how to synchronize a code editor & Repaint editor for two way updates.

I'm confused - why can't this export as static HTML / CSS? Would make it useful for github pages. If you make it free for exported code as GPL or some super-restrictive license that only works for true free software, where nothing commercial can ever be used for what is exported, seems quite useful

I don't get it. If you can't export HTML and it can only be hosted on servers you control, why did you output HTML internally? Why not just stick to your own proprietary layout format and rendering engine?

Since almost all websites use HTML / CSS, its the output format we wanted to target. If you don't use HTML it breaks things like SEO, accessibility, etc.

What if the Repaint Project required me to link it to a git repo and make my repaint account have git access and my files live and read out of my git repo?
