Pretty slick! I like the fact that it's open-source and client-side js. Can definitely see how this could integrate with online IDEs like Ace. A few bits of feedback (although perhaps you just haven't got around to implementing these yet): - On the canvas, is there some way to make it obvious why boxes are relatively positioned a particular way? For instance, when I add a new box next to the iPhone picture, it's not visually obvious why there is fairly sizable top padding. Maybe light grey shading to represent padding and such? - Is there any reason why you wouldn't merge the 'select' tool and the 'move elements' tool into the single button (and make it the default selection)? - Any possibility of multi or group select, for quick deletion of multiple elements? - A 'new blank canvass' button might be handy. Anyhow, this is some great work. I often just want to put together a very basic web interface for some personal project, and I think your tool is at exactly the right level of simplicity/complexity for that.
