This is way better than any Adobe application I've ever used :) no joke. I'm very impressed with the UI components that's some masterpiece over there. I demand you to release a UI framework haha. Also this is probably first HN thread that everyone seem to like what they saw, no nitpicking at all. This must tell you that you guys are on the right track.

That's definitely true.

Co-founder here. My brother and I quit our jobs 7 months ago, and have been working on this day and night off of our savings since then. The CSS Playground is a preview of our CSS styling tools, and we'll be adding some of our other components (layout, adding new elements, code export) soon. Currently, it only works in Chrome, but we're working hard to add Firefox support.

I've been dragging for the past couple months, but seeing this beautiful product has just pumped me up.

Freakin gorgeous!

Do you mind telling us about the stack? It's a pretty impressive UI. Feels very native.

I agre, the UI is exquisite. Would love to learn how this was made.

Hi! Sergie, the designer here. I'm glad you like it! Everything was designed in Illustrator CS6. It's the fastest prototyping tool IMO because you don't have to worry about layers (Photoshop) - you just click and edit. Exporting to Hi-DPI is super fast too!

"The Webflow CSS Playground currently works in Google Chrome and Chrome Canary." Another fine example of how Chrome is the new IE6...

Had this conversation with a co-worker yesterday. As much as I love Chrome, they are heading right down that slippery slope. Soon they're going to figure out something better for drawing than Canvas or SVG, and they'll integrate that Chrome only technology. We'll come full circle when they name it VML.

Count me as another vote for exporting the data. I wouldn't hire your hosting, but I'd take a look at it if it was an independent tool.

Anyway, I'm signing for updates because I know people that would be interested on your current offering.

Wonderful work. The hardwork really shows. If you don't mind me asking, what were your backgrounds before you starting working on this?

I'd like to know too. This is an absolutely amazing tool, functional and built beautifully.

That is very impressive, congrats!

I'd really like to know the following: what process did you follow to create that 10min UI Tutorial video [1]?

Did you rehearse it and then record it all in one go? How did you memorize the script? Did you edit it with multiple takes of various scenes? Etc. Thanks so much.
