Alternate, more accurate title: Create cookie-cutter website layouts that look like every other bland landing page. Bonus points if they use Tailwind.

Believe it or not, not everything needs to be bleeding-edge creative and new.

I have personally found Shuffle to be a fantastic tool for personal projects, especially when I cannot or do not want to spend much time on design but want things to look halfway decent. That was half the appeal of frameworks like Bootstrap and I’m not really sure what value your comment adds, if anything (on a throwaway, to boot).

Hey! We wondered what to do to make building layouts even faster while adding more fun elements to our daily work. After a while, the inspiration came! Why not randomize the components while having fun, like at a slot machine in a casino? The idea generator combines available UI components into finished layouts. You choose the technology, the library, click "Shuffle!" and boom, ready-made layout. Click again, and you…

Wow!

I like the idea and the execution very much.

However, the pricing model is not so much my taste. The Lifetime license seems somewhat cheap, but $24 per month feels a bit expensive for a casual user.

Very nice! I like the idea of randomness.

For my website business I made something alike. It combines some general styles with random colors. Some very ugly things are possible with it. ;) But it also has some preset templates that give you an idea of how nice it can look.

So the output is markup, CSS and JS and I can take that and do whatever I want with it? Similar to Bootstrap Studio, if you're familiar with that tool? I'm intrigued :) Two questions: - On the VS Code page a coming WordPress integration (?) is mentioned. Can you elaborate on what that is, and went it might ship? https://shuffle.dev/visual-studio-code - I didn't see any mention of accessibility. Can you speak to that?…

Hey, Yes, we export HTML/CSS and source files (Scss or Tailwind JS config). Here you have example projects exported: https://shuffle.dev/static/files/example.zip We will release the WordPress theme export in December. It won't be an integration / WordPress plugin. You'll still use Shuffle online, and when exporting the project, it has the format supported by WordPress (support for navigations, posts, etc.) Accessibil…

All good answers. I certainly under it's a WIP. Thanks.
