02/12/2021, 11:49 AMIt does work well for my pretty simple app. Live updates work, component tree works. Layer spacing is disabled right now for some reason, but it did work an hour ago.
upd a minute later: and it layer spacing works again too, don't know what was wrong
upd: you need to tilt the layout a bit, then the Layer spacing slider enables

And Refresh button doesn't refresh anything after that
