What is worse than editing legacy CSS code? Trying to style a page using only no-code / low-code tools. Simplest things like a border only on one side seems nearly impossible or requires hours of trial-and-error with drag-and-drop-modules and their arcane option dialogs.

    They should hire Chimps to maintain no-code software

    @theabbie I am building a no/low code platform. Does that make me a chimp?

    @Floydimus Depends on future devs, if it fulfills all possible needs, it's fine

    but it's hard to conceive a platform that would fulfil every possible future need while still being simple enough to use

    @fraktalisman While you cover this impossibility, I don't think it's an excuse to have other highly requested features stripped away: nobody tells no-code devs to follow poor conventions or not to invent alternatives. Test, assess, and embrace!

    At least this CMS makes it clear that is was not primarily intended to be used by developers: "We are a team of designers, which is why we build the best product for them. We know you care about the details because we do too. We understand your workflow because we’re in it every day. Our CMS is beautiful and intuitive because we know you expect nothing less."
