[Feature request] A tool for migrating ui/xml to blueprint files #14

The name speaks for itself. You already have such an app, but it would not be superfluous for you

See more https://gitlab.gnome.org/tijder/blueprintgtk

FYI Workbench does this + real time preview + hints and soon code suggestions/completions.

My 2 cents, I don't recommend devtoolbox continues to duplicate efforts of existing apps like Apostrophe, Workbench, Lorem, Contrast, ... For those use cases, it will provide an inferior experience. It won't scale, and you will end-up with scope/UI creep.

I love all the smaller utilities in the app though <3

@sonnyp I did not find the same functionality as the blueprintgtk in the workbench

In addition, the essence of the application is just a box where there is everything to develop

It is unlikely that an ordinary user can use something that he does not understand. And these (Apostrophe, Workbench, Lorem, Contrast, ...) applications can be used by non-developers
