Improved the input menu. It works nicely with the clipboard and even disables the "paste" option if it's empty.

Cut/copy keeps the field value with type, not just as a string. So complex types and data-bindings are covered.

Image input and uploader + switch input. It seems most of the field components for the settings pane are ready now.

Finally, I'll focus on integrating React Native UI components and props/settings into the editor.

Day 236:
Fixed a few issues related to the routing and asset loading in the Live Preview app (which works through Expo Go).

Added a few UX improvements for better navigation between custom components and places where they are being used.

Day 229:
Improved a few things in the compiler and the code viewer.
I enjoy seeing what it becomes and also playing with it.

It's especially impressive to see the code updated in realtime upon any change to the app in the visual editor.

Now, custom UI components in @clickly.app can have children and can be composed with each other.

It's a significant improvement that unlocks numerous use cases.

Finished integrating another foundational component: Text.
Just started TextInput.

By integration, I mean adding it to the editor, creating a settings pane UI with all possible settings, and testing it on iOS/Android/web.

And, of course, it includes the code generation support.

Back to work on the data flows in @clickly.app, including external API data sources.

After working on the technical/UX design today, it seems it's going to be a long run.

Nevertheless, it should be done to unlock many important capabilities.

Made good progress today with UI slots in @clickly.app.

Once finished, it will help visual developers create the same level of advanced UI as if it were in code.

Today, working on the text component. It's rendering in the editor and on the devices. And of course, it's settings pane with all text styles and everything it can have.

Day 395

Some progress with data formulas.
I had to reconsider some technical decisions to support essential features:
- parameters (to reuse data formulas as functions)
- multiple connections from the same output of a data node.

Continue working on React Native Paper components integration.

And upgraded to @expo.dev SDK 54 the entire @clickly.app, its live preview app for Expo Go, and the code generator.

An attempt to mimic our Simpler Times title and chapter card animations—done in Blender Geo Nodes, because apparently I like pain.
Pretty damn close to the original, and the modularity has opened up a full can of brainworms I now have to dig into.
