It would be super easy to convert this to html if you wanted to because the format is so similar. But also, at this point, wouldn't it just be easier to just write it in HTML and make the actual product or use a framework like bootstrap? Im just struggling to see the value add. Maybe there is something I am missing. Would love to hear your reasoning and what led you to create this.

You actually create wireframes in (angular- and bootstrap-enhanced) HTML with Shireframe. And yes, you can reuse some of the code when creating actual product.

I'm not really into graphics editors and enjoy writing code much more. The goal for me was to simplify creating wireframes with code by having a set of predefined "sketchy" styles and several ready-to-use UI widgets and shortcuts for common layout patterns/classes so I don't have to create and type them in from scratch for every new wireframe.

This already saved me a number of hours as I'm creating some wireframes on how a future product at my company will look like.
