I was trying to give feedback on how you might make your product "more attractive"/increase value proposition to the type of person you are aiming to help this with: people who want to make a React UI through a GUI instead of in a text editor.
I know how to pull data in via React/JavaScript "code". If I can do that, I'm technical enough to not need a GUI to help me make a UI... do I?
- bingemaker 3y agoEven if you are technical enough, you might still need a GUI to avoid any surprises. Also the end user of this tool is not tech people, but content managers
- mono_spaced 3y agoNot the OP, but our company Measured is building Puck as an open source project, so I'll try and answer. Puck is targetted at content/CMS use cases, rather than general UI building. So the ability to establish guardrails in the editor experience is intentional. For best effect, we envisage Puck being used alongside a well-considered library of on-brand composable components. The aim is to enable non-developer editors/authors to freely update and build content, whilst keeping the UI consistent and on-brand. This is a problem area we've encountered many times in our client work, hence why we wanted to scratch this itch. Having said that, I do believe the Puck editor GUI _can_ be configured to work with remote data somewhat as you describe, using the adaptor linked above (but there's currently no demo for this feature).
