IDX is very nice and well built. Are the themes and components that IDX use available for use in applications?

It would be nice to have a designer to drag and drop Angular components from a palette and have it automagically generate the components. It would also make sense to allow us to use our own components in the palette.

Also along these lines, it would be nice if such a designer would allow you to connect @Input and @Output between elements and other services through an interface resembling a "patchbay" in the audio recording software world. So you could connect a control's cell factory to a data source without having to go into the docs or look at the code. You could insert validations in between the calls by simply reconnecting the inputs and outputs. That might require some way to map APIs or interfaces, but i'm sure it can be done.

Along these same lines, you might as well have controls like a Gemini bot that you can edit the properties to set the prompt and othe r parameters, or optionally get them from a datasource or event. You could have a place for contributors to submit their controls, themes, etc, with a way to apply them straight from the IDX interface without doing alot of code or installing npm packages by hand.
