A simplified web dev environment
We're are two developers based in the UK who wants to make delivering web apps easier, without sacrificing the quality and scalability of the end product. Web designers and developers who know how to turn HTML and CSS into beautiful UI/UX struggle with all the tech required to deliver modern frontend – our platform takes it away.
Based on our 10 years of commercial experience in web dev, we've been developing an incredibly unique online IDE which lets you write fully featured reactive websites beginning with just HTML and CSS.
Widgets
Install widgets with a single-click. No matter whether it's just a content presenter or a reservation wizard with loads of business logic. What matters is that after the installation, you can experience fully functional UI populated with test data. There are many existing widgets to choose from, however if you have a little React experience, you can develop your own in one of our 6 repositories which are self-contained dev environments.
Customising
As you get more familiar with the environment, you'll be gradually customising your design with JavaScript and possibly connect to one of our pre-configured backends. No worries, you won't be left out at this stage. Here is how we've made it easier for you:

Scoped styling lets you focus on styling small parts of your web app without affecting the whole page. IDE generates scoped stylesheets for each section and widget letting you name classes without worrying about cross page duplications. No need for prefixes or BEM notation – your styles are contextualised and during build-time, minified into a single stylesheet.
Reusable slots – every web app consists of elements which are shared across multiple pages. These can be header, footer, cookie consent notice or anything limited only by your imagination. We know how important it is not to repeat yourself. In your pages, use any pre-added reusable UI slots or just add a new one by simply using it in the page HTML.
In-context code generation lets you code more while typing less. Without leaving the page HTML editor you may write a functional prototype with all the JavaScript auto-generated for you. With Implementation Assistant, you can easily navigate to app’s actions which might require customisation, keeping you focused and on track.
Flat file structure which is a benefit of using simple built-in framework where the initial page data and user-triggered events are handled by app-wide actions – providers and commands. No more nesting, and spaghetti structures.

The plan
Our first major milestone is to help out WooCommerce (31% of ecommerce market share) developers to implement custom themes. They will be able to customise one of our starting themes with just HTML and CSS without worrying about backend integration. There won't be a single line of PHP they need to touch. They will be able to download a theme which is ready to be uploaded into WooCommerce. It's a big effort but we have already a solid foundation we can build on. We need a funding to cover our full-time work expenses to focus on delivering:

WooCommerce integration
starter themes
ecommerce widgets

We also need to reach bigger audience to build a community around the tech we deliver. These days, it requires paying loads of money for ads and the more you put in, the more impact it has. And, we want to scale this project fast as we believe it'll open more business to benefit from innovation, making the Internet more diverse and enjoyable. The scaling directions will be dictated by the community and collaborators we'll meet during our journey.
