Sure, there have been several implementations of this idea on the front-end. Sproutcore was working towards a UI builder at one point for example, and extjs has one as well since both of those use a standardized layout engine.
- goatlover 9y agoWix, Wordpress and Drupal all have layout builders. But they're mostly geared toward designers or admins, and thus separated from the code. And then once upon a time, there was Dreamweaver, which nobody mentions. There is also Adobe Edge. I've watched a designer put together a nice looking website very quickly in Edge. I've also seen what they could do with the WP theme builders. But then you still need someone to tweak the css, and add JS for custom stuff separate from the builder.
- blktiger 9y agoYou couldn't wire up application logic with Dreamweaver though could you? I never used it that deeply so I only remember it being good for creating web pages, not applications.
