I want to build my own Drag & drop page builder

Elementor on Github is open source. Could start with that to at least see how it's built.

Take note of the licenses though. There's a big difference between GPL and MIT.

I will check into that. There are already page builder built scripts that can be purchased instead of me building from scratch. In programming now days frameworks, api's are used to add functionality without building from scratch so would purchasing already built php script fall in that same category since I would modify it?

Hi there!

Just a heads up: Tails, the DevDojo page builder, isn't open-source and is available as a SaaS product, so you wouldn't be able to modify its codebase.

We've had a similar discussion in the past as well:

How hard is it to build Tails

In order to build something like Tails I would say that you would need to have a vast understanding of valina JavaScript and a specific JavaScript framework like Vue or Alpine.js along with a solid understanding of HTML and CSS mainly + a backend framework like Laravel. Hope that this helps!
