Shuffle vs JitBlox: what's the difference?

Is Shuffle a good alternative to JitBlox? It all depends. In fact, even though they are both drag-and-drop design tools, they belong to a different category of low-code tools.

Shuffle is a website builder. A website builder is designed primarily to help users create static websites and landing pages. These are typically informational sites with content like text, images, and media. They can also include blog features, portfolios, landing pages, or business sites. If you want to create something simple like a personal or business site, a website builder is the way to go.

JitBlox is a web app builder. Web app builders are intended for creating interactive and dynamic web applications (e.g. tools, dashboards, social platforms) that allow users to perform tasks, manipulate data, or interact with complex features. If you're aiming to build something more complex and interactive, like a SaaS tool or an eCommerce platform that needs to integrate a custom REST API, JitBlox is more suitable.

Compare JitBlox with Shuffle

Shuffle focuses heavily on building web sites based on a huge number of predefined “components.” In quotes, because they give a different meaning to components than other UI builders: with Shuffle, components are complete UI blocks instead isolated elements such as buttons or headings.

This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage: you can snap together a website in no time, but thereafter you are limited in what you can do. For example, unlike JitBlox, you can't integrate dynamic data or organize your design into reusable components. You can, however, download the source code of your website as native HTML or React app, after which you can hand it over to developers as a starting point.
