Canvas is an interesting idea - although the implementation feels very clunky and half finished.

rest of the tool doesn't feel that special - eg there's tonnes of code generators out there. would have to play more to understand but it wasn't immediately apparent

We always iterating and definitely need to improve! Anything you can point to explicitly that makes the canvas feel clunky/half finished? We're using a simple div under the hood!

To add some color: while we do generate code, we don't view ourselves as a code generator because our customers don't get value out of our tool from the raw code. They instead receive value from the interactive prototype, and for that reason it's lot of PMs, designers, founders using us versus developers.

Lack of tools (shapes, cards etc)

Also felt very laggy/buggy when selecting, dragging etc. may be my underpowered rig

Also just how separate the tool was - it was the primary reason I checked out the product but felt I had to go searching to find it.

Maybe a add to canvas/project button in the code gen area.
