Ionic Creator has announced support for exporting Ionic 3 projects, allowing users to drag-and-drop custom starter templates in the browser and download functioning projects for local development. While existing projects cannot be converted to Ionic 3, new projects can leverage this feature. The creators of Ionic are also planning significant updates for the tool, transitioning it into a locally downloadable application that maintains its drag-and-drop environment while adding fully customizable code editing. This shift aims to integrate seamlessly with local build tools and emulators, enhancing collaboration with built-in GIT support and enabling developers to work with existing projects directly. These changes, still in development, promise to improve functionality and adaptability, aligning with the evolving complexity of web development tools.
