Still I would count it in a pre-alpha state, but, hey, it works.
The project settings window allow to setup the specs (like Author name,
URI, Audio/Midi ports, etc.) for your plugin The saved bundle contain a
working LV2 plugin with all needed resources (ttl files, converted C
files from used images, etc.) to build, install and run it. All you need
to do to finish your plug is, implement your DSP part.
Why do you need to design the UI editor from scratch?
There is a very mature and stable software in this field - QtDesigner:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtdesigner-manual.html
And Qt is a leading UI toolkit, currently the best in the industry.
If some audio widgets are missing - it should be easy to add them
through a custom widget library.
But rewriting the whole thing - redesigning interfaces, signals,
callbacks, sizing policies, etc, etc - doesn't seem reasonable.
