## What it is
A visual drag-and-drop editor for designing display UIs for ESPHome, OpenEpaperLink, and OpenDisplay devices. It runs as a Home Assistant integration or standalone web app and exports designs as C++ lambdas, LVGL YAML, or JSON payloads.

## Use cases
- design esp32 display dashboards without writing esphome lambdas
- build e-ink dashboard layouts visually
- generate lvgl yaml from a drag-and-drop editor
- create ui for wireless e-paper price tags
- bind home assistant entities to display widgets
- design touch interfaces for oled and lcd screens

## When to choose
- you use ESPHome, OpenEpaperLink, or OpenDisplay displays and want to avoid hand-coding display lambdas
- you want a Home Assistant-integrated or browser-based visual UI builder for smart displays
- you need one design exported to multiple display platforms

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose embedded GUI designer outside the ESPHome/OEPL/OpenDisplay ecosystem
- you don't use Home Assistant, MQTT, or ESP32-based displays
- you need pixel-perfect programmatic control that a visual editor can't express
