To be honest, you’re in a situation that’s not necessarily the same as other developers. The feature you’re dreaming of—which would also be useful for me at times—can have completely different implications depending on the framework you choose, whether you’re working in a team or not, etc. (see list)… and because we can’t safely and simply cover all use cases, that’s why we don’t currently offer a solution.
If it’s no secret, is the “simplified” version of Pinegrow still in your plans or have you decided to invest your time in another project?
Ah yes, this simplified version is still our own holy grail, but I’ll let @matjaz respond if he wants to.
