Uh oh!

Problem
Right now custom interactive functionality can only live in HTML Embeds. Embeds work, but they are black boxes: no visual props, and configuration means editing code inside the embed.
Proposed solution (incremental)
Why it matters
Step 1–2 alone would make Ycode the first open-source builder where agencies can ship reusable interactive components (stores, booking widgets, dashboards) that non-technical editors can configure visually. This is currently the gap between open-source builders and Framer, and even the registered-bundle version (no in-browser compilation) covers most real-world use.
Context
I'm running self-hosted Ycode with compiled React components (e-commerce storefront) mounted via embeds — works great, but props must be edited in the embed code (see my Show and tell post). CMS variables inside embeds would be a workaround, but they're currently not substituted (bug reported separately). Happy to beta-test or share the use case in detail.
