Interested to see this.
I've done something similar in the past (building models that translated paper drawings into HTML+css) and ultimately found it usually didn't save me much time.
Translating a look into code is much less labor intensive than it once was and code reuse and stylesheet preprocessers and the ilk (webpack, etc) save tons of time.
I'd get something reasonable out of the model but then the actual look and feel work came into play.
My next step was to be able to reference other sites for styling hints but ultimately I wasn't getting enough utility out of it to continue.
Do you find the same with this approach? If so, what plans do you have to take it the next few yards so it's a more comprehensive front end tool.
