I need your opinions and ideas about a desktop application that enables web application development.
Currently, I am developing a desktop app that works with a drag-and-drop and blueprint logic, allowing users to build Next.js applications. The core concept started with the idea of creating a tool for full-stack web application development by combining the design aspect of WordPress with the blueprint system of Unreal Engine. I am currently close to completing the MVP, but I would love to get your feedback. Let me explain the basic working principle to you.
On the design side, components work using a drag-and-drop method. You can customize the components as you wish, assign classes, or modify predefined properties. Essentially, you can also use components and themes prepared by other developers within a marketplace.
On the blueprint side, you can manage both the JS functions to be used on the client side and the functions to be used on the server side using a drag-and-drop system.
Architecturally, because it processes and stores all components, pages, functions, and other data as JSON files during the development phase, it runs very fast. At the same time, when the project is exported, it is exported just like a standard Next.js project and can be uploaded to GitHub or similar platforms. Additionally, other Next.js projects can be imported into the system. I don't have any plans to include AI support at the moment, but I might consider it for future versions.
What I am specifically wondering is this: I am running this project as a hobby with no financial expectations, but is it worth it? My goal is to enable people who don't know how to code to develop web applications, while also aiming to increase the efficiency of engineers. I can share screenshots if anyone is interested.
