I like this project way better than Bootstrap Studio or any of the others I've tried.
Some suggestions:
1. As others have mentioned, HTML editing is pretty important. I'd like to see my actual content when picking a layout.
2. Would also like to see a theme picker, so I can cycle through combinations of colors/fonts/etc. and see what looks best. I know I can do that under Change Styles, but I haven't the artistic skills to pick individual values and have them look good.
3. Add a search box component.
4. I don't see a way to add a sidebar menu on the left and have a custom content area on the right. It would be nice to have some way to nest components. This is important because I would probably use this mostly for building admin interfaces and dashboards.
5. Someday, in the future, and maybe this is well beyond scope, I'd like to have Vue components so I could just hook them all together and they just work. I expect that that would be a massive undertaking, though.
#1 & #2 are pretty important. The rest -- I don't think they're critical to having a commercially successful project.
We are working on deployment of the first thing (content editing).
Theme picker (choosing one of possible design system, like Material, Fluent etc) is on our road map.
3 i 4 is about library, which is and will be developed.
And the last one, Vue, for now is the further future :)
I don't know what the problem is with that ?

I think front-end devs forget this part, because they always tend to have a giant complicated built tooling setup in place, so adding one more little thing seems easy.
But the default is to have no tooling whatsoever, so the thing you're proposing that you "don't know what the problem is with" is a process that has a step one that lies several steps before even "install Node on my dev machine".
I've gone through all that (specifically to change a color in bootstrap), and even now that I have it set up and runnable, I'd still use the grandparent's proposed $10/month web service if it existed.
Edit to add: ...and now that a sibling comment has pointed out the existence of bootstrap.build, I'll be signing up for a paid account.
I know people must have their own setups that they use in GitHub somewhere. I have some, but I don't do lots of web dev and they're a bit shit.
Does anyone have any "default toolchains" in GitHub that they use to start new projects? Including SASS, webpack, common polyfills, etc.?
