You can try it out below. It's not so evident from the demo but there's an inherent flaky feel to using a Chrome extension as a builder. You never feel sure your states are saved correctly and where you can go to review changes.

There's also the platform risk with Chrome Web Store being poorly supported. I've had important updates take up to a week to come out for no transparent reason.

It might just be a UX we have not cracked but it was easy to onboard, hard to stick. It is also unceremoniously open-sourced so if you want to take up the code I'm happy to support that.
