Lol, I have been exploring in the opposite direction. Given a set of basic CRUD endpoints for various data structures, including links to other structures. Generate a basic UI for them, with guidance on added ui to generate based on input and data oriented interaction specs.
This is cool though, I think there are going to be an explosion of different higher level development patterns that will be useful in a lot of different situations that AI will enable. It will be interesting to see which ones get wider adoption, and which stay useful but in smaller focused niches.
Domain driven design or data driven design has it's benefits for sure.
A scenario that comes up is the combination of understanding the problem space, use of tools and what the developer knows/needs to learn can shine their path in different direction to get to the outcome.
At my org we have been using the Figma MCP server to generate code from Figma designs. Spent about a day writing rules to keep the AI on guardrails but it's been very smooth sailing since then and any generated code needs minimal changes.
I guess it's good for "Dreamweaver 2.0" in the sense that it produces plain HTML. But my understanding is most serious web applications use a framework of some sort, such as React, Vue, or Svelte, and each is opinionated.
It's so much harder to make very accurate image to plain HTML conversion than plain HTML to react et at. LLM are very good with translating between different web frameworks.
Oh! What about CSS frameworks like Tailwind, Bootstrap, etc.?
How on earth was it able to generate and clone Images just from UI? Like did it get the source of the URL as well, where it could link those images or what did it actually do there?

So many things wrong with this sentiment.
Define “serious.”
Do people think it’s just not possible to make web apps without frameworks?
Take the output from this tool and adapt it to whatever framework you want … if you feel that’s necessary.
