Please add this feature, otherwise everyone will move to Canva!

It's actually kind of ridiculous after five years to not have implemented this. Have been a customer for year, but this is likely going to be the dealbreaker as we move on to another platform - we have to use these decks for professional pitches and the constant misalignment of our assets from slide to slide is a no go for us moving forward. Here's the code you all need - this is literally not difficult:
const parentElement = $0.parentElement;
const parentWidth = parentElement.offsetWidth;
const parentHeight = parentElement.offsetHeight;
const numVerticalLines = 9;
const numHorizontalLines = 5;
const verticalSpacing = parentWidth / (numVerticalLines + 1);
const horizontalSpacing = parentHeight / (numHorizontalLines + 1);
const gridStyles = {
position: 'absolute',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)',
pointerEvents: 'none',
};
const gridLines = [];
for (let i = 1; i <= numVerticalLines; i++) {
const line = document.createElement('div');
await setElementStyles(line, {
...gridStyles,
width: '1px',
height:
${parentHeight}px
,left:
${i * verticalSpacing}px
,top: '0px',
});
gridLines.push(line);
}
for (let i = 1; i <= numHorizontalLines; i++) {
const line = document.createElement('div');
await setElementStyles(line, {
...gridStyles,
width:
${parentWidth}px
,height: '1px',
left: '0px',
top:
${i * horizontalSpacing}px
,});
gridLines.push(line);
}
gridLines.forEach(line => parentElement.appendChild(line));

Yeah this, for me, is a dealbreaker. As a designer, this is a crucial feature. We need customizable guides, too.

It takes much more time without the rulers to align stuff on the slide. Big miss.

VERY basic feature that really needs to be here.

Five years and still no action? This is such a basic feature. For anyone struggling with Pitch, Canva do grid lines as standard, and less pinging your text blocks to where the platform thinks you want to place them.

basic functional necessity.

Still not possible? For reals... I mean...
See? You making me write like a Gen Z × Karen mutation here. Can you tell us why? Is it a conceptual thing or just on the list? It's genuinely needed. Help us out Pitch! (Still lova ya, but plz)
514 upvotes + me = 515. It's alarming... Maybe we need to check the fund/series status here.. i'm coming back to Pitch after a hiatus. Some cool new features, nice stuff... but guides are rudimentary... and you surely know this?
Thanks, Mx

Absolutely crucial, the fact that this isn't a thing is wild to me.

This is the one piece of missing basic functionality that causes me pain every time I create a slide. Please prioritize its development.
