Summary

Hi,

I saw one of the feature that appsmith is that it lacks tooling to build components (A design system builder part of appsmith). I wanted to share a demo how it can be done, however I'm not able to find directions for frontend build. could you please direct me.

Alternatively I think isolating frontend from the backend will allow for more collaboration from contributors. For local development it is not necessary that appsmith needs backend, its a UI tool, use client side for persistence.

Why should this be worked on?

Appsmith has a good grip since it already has user base and developers use it. In the road map or the final place the vision could be is in the direction of design to code. There are huge solutions available for design to code, but most of them lacks the code readability of the generated content from the designs, very hard to grasp.
An alternative approach is to build a lite version of design tool, with code generation based on component architecture. A catch is that, component philosophy mentioned here scales to generate code targeting any framework that supports component based development.

Targeted user base - Designers, frontend developers
