This looks promising but I would need a free trial before paying for it.

I was actually hyped a little bit until I saw your comment. Forgot about the price. $50 for 1 year free updates and only 3 installs is a little bit steep.

Seems like a pretty perfect price point to me - as someone who doesn't do front-end as a job, just for hacks etc.

ATM the price is $25.

I have enjoyed layoutit.com for simple free wireframing.

You can define your layout pretty quickly if you have ever made a bootstrap layout before.

I know there are other alternatives as well but does anyone have any significant experience with this?Is this a lot better, is this the best one out there?

This looks very nice. But please move the video to the top of the page. Always remember engage first, then offer people a chance to try it out in the browser. Also I had to reach the bottom of the page to find out that it was a desktop app. Is it built in Electron? One last tip if this works as well as it looks in the demo you could easily double your price.

The "Run Browser Demo" button engages me much better than video. I very rarely have patience for linear media.

But only in Chrome. So the best would be show the demo button only in Chrome and the video in other browsers.

IMO this is another example of unnecessary fragmentation of the dev tools ecosystem. Why do we need a whole IDE for Bootstrap? Can't we instead make a plugin for an existing IDE to accomplish the same thing?

I'm no great designer and only doing hobby sites but I've found PineGrow (http://pinegrow.com/) quite nice.

Looks super cool and very useful. If anyone thinks that $25 or $50 is expensive for 3 installs, they are just being disingenuous. That's less than most devs charge their clients per hour and tools like this easily save a few hours on each project.

And good to see another Bulgarian venture :-)

I really don't see it as an IDE. More like a WYSIQYG tool to export HTML for Bootstrap, which is something there has been dozens of for years now
