New in Draftbit Connect your existing app from GitHub If you've already built an app, you can now connect its GitHub repository and make changes from Draftbit. We work in your repo itself and leave your files as they are, so there's nothing to migrate. Connecting a repository works on every plan. Read more → Connect your GitHub repository, with the GitHub App option selected and the app folder and main branch fields Big updates to visual development Drag components straight onto the preview, duplicate, copy, and paste elements, and edit text, images, links, and icons from a new Content section. You can also force either side of a condition to preview empty lists and signed-out views. Visual editing works on every plan.
