Useful for personal projects and quick designs
From 2 comments
Believe it or not, not everything needs to be bleeding-edge creative and new. I have personally found Shuffle to be a fantastic tool for personal projects, especially when I…
bladegash on HNI've been a shuffle.dev user for a very long period. After some time I learned the CSS and HTML to the point I no longer need Shuffle, but still - one of my fav web builders.

Objections
Layouts look generic and cookie-cutter
From 2 comments

nauticacom on HNA million layouts that will make you look like everybody else ;)

Monthly pricing considered expensive; lifetime plan preferred
From 2 comments
Wow! I like the idea and the execution very much. However, the pricing model is not so much my taste. The Lifetime license seems somewhat cheap, but $24 per month feels a bit…

Signup/paywall needed to try demo

Why demo site is taking me to a paywall/create account in the next click? Couldn't you let us play without signing up? or am I missing another flow?

Blog-style and simpler page templates
From 2 comments
The idea is great, but I was surprised there's not a single "page template" that looks like a boring old wordpress blog, i.e. 2 column layout with maybe a header nav.
wink on HNAre there any similar tools but for simple blogs? I find it very hard to design a simple but not dull blog layout because you don't have many pictures to show like a commercial…

Questions
Is the exported output plain HTML/CSS and JS usable outside the tool?
From 1 comment
So the output is markup, CSS and JS and I can take that and do whatever I want with it? Similar to Bootstrap Studio, if you're familiar with that tool? I'm intrigued :) Two…

Template kits
From 1 comment
I think it's a great idea, but perhaps it's not different enough from a collection of templates that you can scroll through (which are also in some "random" order, of course)?
