Came here to say something critical because modern front-end dev is a self-inflicted hellscape.

I watched the video and "deving from the UI" makes sense! Instantly get the value. Pretty cool!

It's another hurdle as to whether I'm really going to pay the switching cost of changing my dev flow, but it is a very intuitive and compelling proposition. well done.

I walk into everything ready to be hyper critical, so thanks so much for saying that.

In my experience, I found the switching cost to be low for things like copy changes and css stuff (or lower than I expected). Obviously I am incentivized more than anyone else to use it but it’s actually painful to go to an IDE to make those small changes after you get used to it.

I don’t realistically expect anyone to use us as a full IDE yet. It’s got a ways to go but for simple things, it’s awesome. We’re going to keep chipping away though.
