"I've always found traditional visual HTML editors frustrating because they force you into rigid grid systems. To solve this, I spent the last 1,800 hours building HtmlDrag ( https://htmldrag.com/). It's a "freeform" editor that feels more like Figma or Photoshop but outputs production-ready HTML. Key Features: True Drag-and-Drop: Move elements anywhere on the canvas without grid constraints. URL Import: Import any live website via URL and edit its layout visually. Clean Code Export: No proprietary tags, just clean HTML/CSS."
"We recently hit #6 Product of the Day on Product Hunt, but I'm looking for more technical feedback from the SitePoint community. Does this "freeform" approach fill a gap in your workflow for rapid prototyping or landing page creation? Check it out here: https://htmldrag.com I'm looking forward to your honest thoughts and critiques! Sorry, but I don't see myself using it. I can appreciate the effort you put into it, but I don't see the benefit. I can't see the outputted html without a paid membership, and I'm not paying for something I can't see the quality of the output of. And without a paid membership, I'd probably use Figma or something else I'm more familiar with. What's the definition of "production-ready HTML" as opposed to just.. HTML? Also, how often are you "rapid prototyping" a webpage? Feels like you're just stuffing buzzwords in."
HtmlDrag is a freeform visual HTML editor developed over roughly 1,800 hours that enables absolute positioning similar to Figma or Photoshop while producing production-ready HTML and CSS. The editor supports true drag-and-drop placement of elements anywhere on the canvas and can import live websites by URL for visual editing. The export produces clean code without proprietary tags. The project reached #6 Product of the Day on Product Hunt and seeks technical feedback for rapid prototyping and landing page workflows. Some responders raised concerns about paid access to exports, questioned the definition of "production-ready HTML," and critiqued marketing language.
