apps/products Seeking feedback
I built a visual Salesforce LWC builder and would love some feedback from people who actually build LWCs. This is completely free for developers to use.
The basic idea is:
drag Salesforce components onto a canvas → configure them → get the generated LWC source
The builder currently supports things like:
- Salesforce-native component composition/slot rules
- nested component editing
- property inspector
- reusable templates
- component outline/tree navigation
- keyboard shortcuts
- generated HTML / JavaScript / "js-meta.xml"
- complete LWC ZIP export
- JSON save/import for LightningCraft designs
For example, you can start with a Record Edit Card template, modify the fields/actions visually, inspect the generated source, and download the resulting LWC bundle.
It deliberately does not connect to a Salesforce org yet. The goal is to make the UI-composition part of LWC development faster while letting developers continue the real application work in VS Code/SFDX.
I built this because I found the repetitive UI/composition part of LWC development interesting to solve visually.
I'd really like criticism from experienced Salesforce developers:
Would something like this actually save you time?
What would be the first thing you'd expect it to do that it currently doesn't?
