## The case on Framer

Keep paying for Framer; you cannot vibecode a production-grade visual layout engine, real-time multiplayer canvas, and global edge hosting infrastructure as a solo developer.

Hardest parts:

- Building a 60fps infinite canvas layout engine with complex nested flexbox-like auto-layout rules
- Implementing CRDT-based real-time multiplayer synchronization for canvas node trees and text editing
- Building a secure browser-based V8 sandbox for live React component code execution and ES module bundling
- Orchestrating global edge CDN deployment with automated custom domain SSL provisioning

## The case on Webflow

Build a simple static site builder subset for personal education, but keep paying for Webflow if you need a production-grade enterprise design platform.

Hardest parts:

- Building a performant, pixel-accurate WYSIWYG CSS layout engine in the browser
- Maintaining a clean, unbloated code-generation compiler from abstract syntax trees
- Handling real-time workspace collaborative state across multiple editors
- Instant edge publishing pipeline invalidation and global CDN routing
