@ARandomerDude, thanks for the sharing your perspective.
Then again, I created this library for people who create no-code tools not for who use no-code tools. Though they can also use this. I think, the title I wrote have given a wrong impression, that is, 6 or 9 the same thing. Ha ha.

It might come in handy when building no-code tools, not as a no-code tool per se.

I'm just building a movable dashboard similar to Notion's blocks and this saves me globs of time!

The secret of no code tools is that they are actually for programmers.

haha, agree but not merely for programmers but for technical persons.
bower install --save spacersjs
...
Option | Type | Default
element | string | null
...
Initialize with:
spacers({ element: '.element-unique-class' });
```
This is a neat tool and you did a great job.
Tangentially, I can't help but think if a person can use some of these tools, they're already a programmer. Reading the documentation, a "no code" user would need to know how to use a terminal, text editor, package manager, as well as understand data types, the DOM, and the box model. That isn't to say this is a bad library, but I question the no code premise.
