I would like to get the community's opinion on my product. I realise that the market for website contructors is very saturated with all sorts of solutions, and in this respect I am not a innovator of idea. But still I see a problem with a lot of solutions I've tried, and at the moment I can't say there's a tool that will give the whole list of features I've already implemented in my product.

Hey Alex, I love the concept myself! I can share a few personal learnings while building my own project.

Combining conversational and drag-and-drop experiences is a good and well-accepted balance by users as it provides a "template" like starting point that you are able to customize further at will.

AI-based section generation for the site is huge but if it is too open-ended users shy away. It would work better by having users provide context in a non-conversational way. For example instead of having to prompt the user so they type "can you please create a section of x with layout of y and colors of z" have them pre-select the option from a dropdown "new section" and describe it. Or a "new template" and ask for an inspiration e.g "Inspired in space x with a pricing section x,y,z". Conversation is powerful to describe ambiguous things but people will get frustrated chatting through an experience that can be more handrailed.

Look into how to use AI assistance to handle other tedious parts of the GrapesJS experience for example, CSS classes. You can have your users visually describe the appearance and paste those styles into existing elements in the canvas e.g: add a gradient of 4 blue colors to the selected component. Or control themes.

I love the direction you are taking the project and forget about the saturation. Website builders is a good niche because there is a huge demand. You just need to find the right starting audience, get quality feedback and keep iterating.

Careful marrying too much to GrapesJS.

@gianksp Hi Giancarlo! Thank you for such a comprehensive feedback. I appreciate it very much. As for the involvement of AI in the many facets and functions of the CMS itself, I completely agree with you. I have an idea from the moment of template selection to implement AI to collect information about design preference and site theme. And iterate the user's journey from idea to implementation in the visual editor. I am also thinking of using OCR to provide links to the design of other websites to suggest a suitable template for further development.

As for the CSS classes, I solved this issue with TailwindCSS. ChatGPT already generates HTML using only these classes, thus the question of CSS generation disappears by itself.

@gianksp I will look forward to the launch of your product!

P.S.: I forgot to ask you about reason to be careful with GrapesJS?

@alexander_yanchin GrapesJS is a great open source editor but has limitations. There is also limited plugins and it has non portable Model system for mapping elements in canvas. Changing to a different drag and drop editor may be difficult in the future should you wish to do so.
@gianksp OK, but there are no alternative open-source editors anyway. I develop my own plugins based on web components. I've seen in your implementation, you've changed a lot. It looks great!
Looks really amazing! Game changer for CMS, o really think this may be the future of these platforms.
