Framer is a design tool, but Puck is a content tool. We're focused on allowing content teams to create pages using existing on-brand components. Like a WYSIWYG with guard-rails.

We built it because we couldn't find something that would let our clients' content teams produce content for their sites without 1) either going off-brand or 2) pestering their devs for layout changes.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "content" tool? Are your ideal users creating marketing sites, blog posts, or other?

In my experience, most of what content teams work with are some forms of CMS, and the design tools usually deal with layout and creating generic sites that work with the data structure inside the CMS.

Typically marketing sites and blog posts etc. It could probably be extended to applications, but that’s not what we built it for.

Framer also has a CMS and you can import React components [1]. They pivoted because there wasn't much traction in that use case.

your pivot comments seem irrelevant as he is not selling this as a product, he is using it as a white-label solution for his clients.
