I am very interested in this. I am a low-coder you could say. I have to start coding a front-end in React soon (and I have yet to learn React) so with all the overhead of learning React as well as fiddling with html, css etc, it feels like a really big task. I saw some visual builders for React , downloaded/tried a couple but they had pretty big learning curves of their own so I didn't bother taking it any further.
You guys seem to be addressing the right pain point in the right way.
I will definitely give this a go soon

I'm one of the developers working on Utopia. > I saw some visual builders for React , downloaded/tried a couple but they had pretty big learning curves of their own so I didn't bother taking it any further. This was our experience with existing low code or code generating design tools as well – you actually have to put a lot of time into learning how to use them, time you could spend on learning actual React. One of our guiding principles was that people who use Utopia should not need to learn anything that is proprietary to our platform.
- kyawzazaw 5y agoI am student and I think my instructors who teach a Software Engineering class would be very very interested. We typically have non-CS majors in that class and it can be a bit of a learning curve.

- 123jay7 5y agoIf you are learning, you should stay far away from "visual builders". Unfortunately, these things will make you learn slower because they often prioritize visual design over sound, structural code. Learn the basics first. If you want to learn React, just download it, read the official docs and use `create-react-app`.
