Hey nice! One thing I might recommend is independently scrolling the main section from the property editor on the right (have that in a fixed position?). The idea is to be able to see the Navs example when you're changing the padding/colors for the Navs Components. That was much harder for me to play with than the buttons which are visible as I changed the background color since their scroll position was similar.

Second this! A fixed sidebar is definitely a requirement to make this site more usable. I would also love to see a left-align editing bar instead of a right-align and a a totally separate background / place on the page rather than an absolutely positioned element. Great tool for quickly testing color and theme changes, but I'd want to see a number of changes to be something I'd use regularly instead of my editor.

Thanks for posting and nice work so far!

Thank you veeeeery much for this comment, I really appreciate it. The right hande column isnt meant to be absolutely positions, I think I have just done the colun slightly incorrectly.

I did originally try to make it all scroll correctly into the right sections, but wasnt able to do it properly.

Really I could use some help on how to get the functionality in place.

The Docs site can be developed independently of the main library (which powers the editor).

Its all built peacemeal using grunt and some templates.

Any idea on how to do the scrolling :) if someone points me in the right direction it would help me do it quicker!

I have created an issue for it on github, so I will take a look at it https://github.com/ilikeprograms/Cluckles/issues/19

You say you want to see a number of changes, im open to suggestions if you have ideas on how to improve it so you would use it regularly :)

Yeah im thinking eventually that would be good, but im not entirely sure about the best way to do it, I will for sure take a look into it though.

Thanks for the feedback :)
