Theme "builder"/"converter"
Permalink
I've been developing an Add-On that can translate a HTML/CSS project into a working concrete5 theme. You need to fill in fields, create some page templates (or only the default), select your assets and hit "Make" or "Build" or whatever.
Now, this has been laying around for a while, only because I was not sure if people are willing to use a thing like that. It has a bunch (and I defenitely mean a bunch) of options and configurations. Most optional of course, but you can create your whole team from this Add-On, without touching code (and of course you can download any HTML template and use that to build your theme, you just have to copy some bits and pieces out of it).
You all know Block Designer, at least I think you do, and this is something like it. Same setup, fill in fields, make sure you meet the requirements of those fields and there you go, it's created for you.
Let me know in this discussion/thread if you're insterested or if you have any thoughts. The product is like 90%/95% complete, but I have not made any documentation/videos/screenshots or whatever. Want to know if this would be worth the time or not is all.
Thanks guys.

What I'm talking about really is just the theme. I know you can do a lot more than just that and your idea is great. But content and blocks is something else entirely. I think the form they have to fill in with all the available options a theme can have, is probably too much already. So adding even more would be more awkward for them haha.
Point it at an existing site, fill in some selectors, and it grabs content and images, turning them into c5 content blocks and files in the file manager, or perhaps into importable xml.
