Could you build this?
Partial Visual website builders are doable, but bi-directional syncing of visual UI manipulations directly into AST/source code modifications in an arbitrary user codebase is technically complex.
What it would actually take: The engine requires an AST parser and transformer (e.g., Babel, TS Compiler API, or SWC) that can map DOM elements back to specific source code file locations (via sourcemaps/JSX pragma instrumentation) and accurately patch code without destroying developer formatting or dynamic logic.
