Regarding accelerating UI, I’ve been building my UI for my product (https://amazing.photos) using Webflow and Django.

I convert all Webflow code into Django templates and neat JavaScript.

This approach with Webflow and Django is around 5-8x faster for me.

Interesting - so you use their designer to do the front end? And then export and hook it up to Django?

Exactly. Here’s a simple video I made explaining it: https://youtu.be/ohJzBkgSIMQ

I now have a more advanced version of the import script than the video that adds native async forms and allows for Django for loops. Let me know if you want it.

I just found this video the other day; Especially the "building a tool on top of Webflow" think resonates with what you created here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYRq60G5XTk
