A custom site is buildable; Wix as a platform includes editor, templates, apps, ecommerce/bookings, hosting, domains, and a huge long-tail feature surface.

Build an advanced, comprehensive personal alternative to the Wix website building platform. The application should provide a seamless visual editing experience without requiring any coding knowledge, tailored for local use or self-hosting by a single user.
Use exactly this technology stack: React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and a Node.js/Express backend with SQLite for data persistence.
The application's core feature must be a fluid, intuitive drag-and-drop canvas. Users should be able to drag components from a sidebar library onto the canvas, reorder them, and nest them within layout structures like sections, columns, and grids.
Include a wide variety of pre-built component blocks in the library: Navigation bars, Hero sections, Feature grids, Testimonials, Pricing tables, Contact forms, and Footers.
Implement an inline text editor so users can click on any text element on the canvas and edit its content directly.
Provide a styling properties panel that allows the user to customize the selected element's appearance. This must include options for typography (font family, size, weight, alignment), colors (background, text, border), spacing (padding, margin), and layout (flexbox alignment).
To mimic Wix's extensive templates, provide at least three full-page starter templates that the user can choose from when creating a new project (e.g., Business, Portfolio, Landing Page).
Include a foundational eCommerce capability: allow users to define a list of 'Products' in the SQLite database (name, description, price, image URL) and drag a 'Product Grid' component onto the page that automatically renders these products.
Implement a built-in SEO management panel. For each page in the project, the user must be able to set the meta title, meta description, and open graph image URL.
Ensure that the output of the builder can be exported. Add an 'Export Site' button that generates a zipped folder containing the static HTML, CSS, and optimized assets, ready to be uploaded to any standard web host.
Do not include a proprietary app market, complex third-party integrations, or managed email marketing. Keep the focus entirely on the core drag-and-drop building and basic product listing.
Include a mobile-preview toggle that resizes the canvas to a mobile viewport and allows the user to tweak styles specifically for smaller screens using responsive breakpoints.
Provide clear error handling, empty states for the project dashboard, and loading spinners during export. Add unit tests for the HTML generation logic and component rendering.
Write a comprehensive README with instructions for installing dependencies, running the dev server, and using the drag-and-drop editor. Put all configuration in a .env file and ensure no analytics or telemetry are included.
