#32Would love to have something like this for Svelte.
The POC for this was actually done in Svelte so it can be done again in the future [1].
We had to focus on React for various reasons [2] but I'd really like to support Svelte again

#33cool to see this launch, actually came across this a few weeks ago and tried it out, really nice for local dev :)

#34Very cool. We've had some limitations with Webflow, especially setting '.well-known' files, and it has been ignored by WF even though the community keeps asking for it. Hope your solution can solve these issues easily.

#35Great idea and good execution. Any idea on monetization?
The video needs work; the main risk perceived will be to have bad design applied and not be caught. The video is basically a demo of that scenario.

Thanks!
For monetization we'd like to keep the editor free for people to use and may monetize through add-on services like hosting. The way I like to think about it is that we may monetize on convenience points but keep things open-source so if you wanted to do things custom, then you can if you'd like.
On the video – thanks for the note there! We can certainly show it to do something more detailed as well than just a background color change. The good thing is that any designs done with Onlook still go through the usual code review process for any project, so hopefully people won't accept non-compliant design changes. In the event that they do, it'll be easier to fix things with Onlook.
On the lines of keeping things compliant with design systems, I'm excited about our ability to surface design tokens from a codebase, so users can always be sure they are selecting the right colors in the right scopes. That's something we still have yet to tackle, but have an open issue for:

#38Can it support raw HTML + CSS (or tailwind) ?

#39This is the kind of software that makes me excited, the future is going to be so much less wasted resources and so much more time spent building!
