How do you build user interfaces?
I've been dealing with a lot of Wordpress sites recently, and I've seen a lot of useful non-developer friendly user interface builders that got me thinking about my hand-writing HTML workflow.
It seems like there are a lot of options if you use a framework specific builder, but nothing for developers working in custom or modified frameworks. I would love something that merged the simplicity of a drag and drop builder, with the ability to define custom components that fit into my project's style.
What tools do you use to build user interfaces?
I built the CSS library a17t (https://github.com/milesmcc/a17t and https://a17t.miles.land) pretty much exactly for this purpose.
I wanted atomic, easy-to-use interface elements — without having to use a giant framework or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, redefine what a button looks like for every project.
Maybe you will find it useful :)
https://tailwindui.com/ worked pretty well for my side stuff.
Tailwind is great, you will still need a CMS to create a website though.
We built https://versoly.com/
Let me know and I can show you how to use it with a modified bootstrap framework.
It can work with any framework but for now we're focusing on Bootstrap but eyeing up tailwind :)
Awesome!
Are there tools for easily adding new components? So I could do something like <button class="btn">{content}<button> ?
we have private blocks and if needed we could work out a way you could use them to quickly add components.
Also we have add elements with containers, rows, columns, cards etc
