Appreciate it!

I absolutely love this style, web-brutalism is refreshing to me absolutely every time I see it (which is not nearly enough) Have you ever checked out https://brutalistwebsites.com ? Yours and your demos would fit right in!

Yep, cool site - it's a shame they've stopped updating it though haha

There should be a seizure warning for most of those sites, why do most of them flicker so much?

The landing page is quite noisy, what with the marquee text and the top and bottom text banners, etc. I would recommend simplifying things a bit and going with a cleaner look, right now it kinda reminds me of the style of websites in the early 2000s. Of course if that's what you were going for carry on lol. The actual editor itself is quite nice, good job!

Yea reminded me of the geocities days where everyone had a page that was under construction (with blinking text and construction worker clip art).

I have no idea how half the editor controls work (on Desktop).

How do you assign colors to a button? There's no 'accept' action in the color picker, 'X' closes it without assigning the color, and clicking on the color rectangle changes it randomly on mouse over, before you can apply it.

Is this supposed to be mobile only?

Damn. That's an ugly website. I'd be interested to know if your are making or will ever make money from this.

I'm no dang but...

Conversely, I like the landing page very much. I believe author made it the way it is intentionally.

Yep, completely intentional haha. Wanted to make something unconventional

Unconventional may be cool, but as it is now the page is not usable, not clear, and actually annoying. If you want to make a product out of it, it would be a good idea to rework it around some softer touches and more professional feel.

I assume the intended market is people who like this style

It may still be confusing though that’s another point
