We agree that making the editor match the browser is super important. At some point we'll have implemented the whole CSS spec. Then, it should always match exactly. Or at least we'll match Chrome. Sometimes browsers don't mat

Do you mean make Figma's editor in Repaint's editor? We can't even make Figma outside the editor :)

There's likely a few settings that you'll have to update on the sections. If the page is a block layout the width of the navbar and container should be auto (to fill the page). We're currently working on our onboarding to sol

That's a good point. We built repaint.com in Repaint and we don't currently have videos in our editor. We will likely add a demo video on the site once we can.

What do you mean by embedded? Like the editor can be embedded on other sites? Or the websites we publish are embeddable?

We've looked over this essay a few times and we can relate. Rendering text is not for the faint of heart :)

When you mention the scroll bar are you talking about in the preview or the editor? There shouldn't be a horizontal scroll bar anywhere, so we should fix that. Also, what browser are you using?

The whole app is written in Typescript, except the webserver (Golang). We've already started to run into some performance issues on large projects. Eventually we will write the frontend in C++ (using emscripten to compile to JS). The U

You're right, we feel trapped in the current model for serving content on the internet. We've talked internally about a browser API that would allow you to override certain CSS layout behavior. If I could extend / modify the

Honestly we haven't focused on this yet. It's important that our websites are accessible and score well for SEO. Users will have settings to improve SEO on their site.

You're right that we could make good defaults for SEO, it would probably improve our scores a lot. It would be cool if we could add some sort of checker directly in the editor. It could also give tips on how to remediate.

Honestly, we did desktop first because that seemed to be the default for most websites we looked at. We plan on giving the users control over what tag each element uses for SEO purposes (h1, section, etc.). We have some SEO related settings
