This is a really good UX tool @domaingood, but it would take a lot of effort/work. I'd suggest starting something in contrib first.

I don't think that we could directly use/port https://github.com/acquia/cohesion as I'm assuming it requires to host your site on Acquia (I could be wrong though). I'm afraid that we'd need to start something from scratch.

Perhaps there's another popular design kit for D7 that you can leverage? 🤷🏼

Thanks @sojibdg

My understanding is that although the code is open-source, it does require https://github.com/acquia/cohesion, which as stated in the project description is a:

...Drupal add-on available for Acquia customers.

That makes me think that it requires Acquia hosting infrastructure in order to work. I could be wrong in this assumption though, so can you please provide basic steps to get this running on a vanilla Drupal installation?

The other concern I have is that this is built for D8/9 and newer versions, and it is quite a lot of code. So it would take a lot of time/effort to do it.
