Why you guys built a JS framework that you don't want to use in your own website?

I’m new to Webix and it’s an interesting framework. While I was learning it, I found your website is not built with Webix. For example, Webix includes a carousel component: https://snippet.webix.com/b253dc2c, but Webix’s website is using slick.js: https://webix.com/assets/js/slick.min.js. If you don’t trust your product and don’t use it, how could you persuade people to use it?

Hello @tqr4deWKvuFp6J2Tu,

If you don’t trust your product and don’t use it, how could you persuade people to use it?

Generally speaking, the strength of our framework lies in building data-rich apps, while building static web pages is not its main focus. Basically, it is better to use tools most suited for the job.

We do actually use Webix in quite a few of our applications. For example:

You can find more examples of the types of apps you could build over at JavaScript Dashboard Demos based on HTML5 CSS UI framework - Webix, all of these demos are also available on our GitHub.

Overall, we’ve built quite a number of app using Webix, you might not see it straight away, but the examples I’ve provided above are there to give you a perspective.

Thanks for your comment! Webix is great and I’m learning it.

Hello @Dzmitry, I was reading this post and got interested in knowing something more about how the UI Designer Tool was developed, as I’ve got in mind a similar project. Is the source code available ? It would be very interesting to study it. Thank you
