WYSIWYG for web dev? BS. Unless you want to setup a quick page or blog and don't care much for what's under the hood.
-
Furthermore, visual feedback in realtime is nice, so you could configure a live reload dev environment to code the frontend, that's what I usually do. Every file I update, the browser refreshes automatically.
If you're using webpack, check webpack-dev-server to do that. -
*personal opinion ahead*
I only tried a few and they sucked. Let me know if you got a good one.
I personally code everything (except some plugins) myself by hand. -
Codazed15156y@BambuSource @lucaspar I know it's not really a WYSIWYG editor, but what do you think about Adobe Dreamweaver? I only ask because I already have it as part of my CC plan.

@BaconatorNoVeg I have only tried it once like 10 years ago, so from experience I can't tell you. However, it appears to give you a good control over your code with the design visualization, so I guess it's pretty good to create UIs.
Said that, I think you may also consider how it integrates with templating engines (if you're using any) and frontend frameworks (angular / vue / react ...). If Dreamweaver doesn't though, you can still use it to aid the UI creation somehow, which helps to create a neat visual identity for your app. -
@BaconatorNoVeg I gotta try it out because it is described as a WYSIWYG-editor compined with source code control. So that sounds super cool and google images seems to show that it has a neat UI as well.
But shiiiiit 24€/month. :/ -
Codazed15156y@BambuSource My plan is $21.29/month, and that's for the all apps plan, of course, I think I'm on the student plan...
-
@BaconatorNoVeg that's not too expensive considering everything it comes with, I just wish they had linux compatible software though :/
-
@BaconatorNoVeg I'm not earning any money yet and that's pretty much all of my monthly pocket money. I still gotta do my driving licence.
Maybe when I got a job or when I'll go to a university, maybe then I will [have to] buy it... -
Lirenia1066yI recently took a look at Webflow. I have not so much time for it now, but it looks very promising.
They have a cms feature, hosting etc. but you also can export the code

Are WYSIWYG web editors worth it? Or is it better to just code entire websites without something like that? I've only ever done the latter.
