> 25 years later, and we're back to FrontPage. And... about bloody time IMHO. There's a reason tools like FrontPage and Flash were so popular - those tools made the internet available to millions of people who aren't into tedious coding.
I totally agree. I'm not sure why they fell out of popularity. I would've never learned HTML/CSS/JS had it not been for my 9-year-old self messing with FrontPage.
We are actually going to start designing our Front end this weekend , about to do it from scratch. absoulatly going to put this to extensive test.
To me this editor gets it right in the sense that we don’t need to get rid of code as the “nocode” movement is trying. Instead we need to make coding more enjoyable and figure out ways to make it more interactive. One specific thing Utopia addresses to me is the need for the code and the actual thing to be treated more as one single interactable component and not two separate things. Instead we're treating the thing…
Thank you! This is pretty much exactly the ethos behind Utopia - that there is ultimately some underlying thing that you want to make changes to, but you often want to be able to make those changes from different viewpoints (or in different contexts) depending on the types of changes you want to make. The React paradigm, especially with functional components, is absolutely right for this kind of a tool.
This is something I thought a lot about and really hope to see more in programming. Everything - every object, every concept, every program - has multiple representations, and in order to understand that thing you need to see it in multiple representations. But code is one representation, static text. Having other representations (like the laid-out website), especially that you can not just view but also edit, makes your project a lot easier to understand.
I wonder if they've drawn inspiration from SwiftUI?

Looks amazing, I will definitely check it out, any information in supporting other forms of styling, like CSS modules or styled components?
Awesome to see it's open source.
If this works well, it will be amazing and I'll almost definitely use it for my next webapp.

It's a browser based tool. I'm not sure what you mean by "Doesn't really look ready or supported out of the box for M1 Macbooks". JavaScript cannot target chip architectures, AFAIK.
So you didn't read the prerequisites and the troubleshooting sections first then? [0] [0] https://github.com/concrete-utopia/utopia#troubleshooting
