A visual editor that produces plain old HTML, CSS, JS and that anyone in our company can use to make changes to pages or create new ones. That's it.
I don't think it exists (if so, pointers would be very welcome!), so here's my comment to incentivize someone to build it.
I'm optimistic about this though, because my suspicion is that since this tool just exports React, you could relatively easily achieve this using Next.js SSG building. As long as you aren't doing any build time or runtime dynamic data loading, by adding one more step you can use this for that, with the bonus that if complexity goes up to the point where you would want to componentize, your tool is ready for that.
At the core, we generate pure HTML and CSS, then serialize those into React and Tailwind. It would be one less step to expose the HTML and CSS instead. I wanted a narrow scope to this so that's the focus but I imagine there's a plugin setup we can do to swap in what framework (or non-framework) you would need.
have you considered paying developers or supporting open source software? I doubt it.
Once you build the pipeline, it's not that hard to maintain CDN releases.
GP was just voicing a wish that a certain piece of software or service as described without predatory pricing exists.
They never said they wanted it for free, you did.
If Webflow had a competitor with same functionality and reasonable pricing I'd gladly pay for that.
