so interestingly, one of the most popular URLs imported from the extension is actually localhost:3000, meaning people use it to import their own design context and iterate on it.
It pains me that people jump to the worst use case (copying). This is why we push the conversion/editing so hard, so that folks make it their own. Clearly we still need to do a better job of that.
hey! other co-founder here — yeah, it does go through our backend systems for processing. We also store it in our db so people can iterate on it further in our web app. At the moment, no designs created via our extension are actually featured in our public catalog, but we do also support a private option for those folks who need private designs!
Feels more like a potentially useful testing tool for folks planning to convert their site to an SPA or something.
If I wanted to say, convert my CMS driven site to a React SPA, this could let me get mockup versions of the components there to slot in while the rest is being developed, and preview how it'd all fit together.
Is a camera a theft-accessory device? A tape recorder? Do you think this has any legitimate uses? Where do you personally draw the line? Should we ban things that can be used in bad faith?
Think of it more as a feature that provides accessibility to people that either don't have the ability, the time, or that simply can't be bothered to work it out themselves.
