Please add a proper visual alignment system to the GemPages v7 editor: grid overlay, guides/rulers, and snap-to alignment (edges/center/spacing). This would make layout building faster and more precise—especially for modern UX/UI, landing pages, and consistent spacing across sections.
Problem / Why it matters:
Right now, aligning elements and keeping consistent spacing often requires manual tweaking and repeated “eye-balling.” On complex pages (multi-column rows, cards, headings + CTAs), it’s easy to end up with small misalignments that hurt visual quality and perceived trust.
Requested features:
Grid Overlay
Toggle on/off grid overlay on canvas
Configurable grid (e.g., 4/8/12 columns, spacing units)
Optional: baseline grid for typography rhythm
Rulers + Guides
Top/left rulers (optional)
Drag-and-drop guides from rulers
Ability to lock/unlock and clear guides
Snap-to / “Sticky” Alignment
Snap elements to:
container edges
center line (horizontal/vertical)
other elements’ edges/centers
consistent spacing (equal gaps)
Visual indicators while dragging (smart guides)
Toggle snapping on/off (or hold a key to temporarily disable)
Spacing/Alignment Measurements (nice-to-have)
Show live distance (px) between elements while moving
Show padding/margin hints relative to container
How this improves UX/UI + conversion:
Cleaner, more consistent layouts increase perceived quality/trust.
Faster editing → more iteration on messaging and conversion flow.
Helps build “polished” pages like in Figma/Canva/Webflow with fewer manual adjustments.
Extra note: This becomes even more important as GemPages v7 adds more advanced interactions and components—alignment tools are a foundational productivity and quality feature.
