I find the existence of this kind tool to be strange, but that may just be because of my preferred way of working. Despite the fact that i'm not hugely keen on Bootstrap, I recognise that people find it useful. But do people really love it so much that they build an ecosystem and actual paid apps around it? It just seems like such a weird thing to focus your energy on.

#42It's unfair of me, but I'm always turned off when I see a desktop app that works on multiple platforms. That irrationally soured my first impression, because I think it otherwise looks like a great tool.
Re: Introducing Bootstrap Studio
#43IMO 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?
Are there any widely used WYSIWYG web editors left that this could be a plugin for? I can't remember seeing one of those in ages.

#44Trial is crucial before buying.
Re: Introducing Bootstrap Studio
#45Looks 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 :-)
Well, to be honest, it might be. I myself would never pay so much for software because I have better things to pay, like electricity, water, internet, etc. I'm not saying you should not pay for software, but poor people, even more poor under-18 developers, don't really have the conditions to pay for such things.
Sure, I think the OP was talking about people who earn the price of this tool in an hour or two, not people who aren't even working.
Software pricing is a very strange beast. It seems to vary so widely, with not always a very obvious price/quality connection. And over time, it doesn't seem to follow any reasonable expectation; I paid £65 for a game 25 years ago, which would be over £90 in today's money.

What? How on earth multiplatform support could be a bad thing?
Re: Introducing Bootstrap Studio
#47LOL, $50 for a HTML editor.
$25 for a pretty superb WYSIWYG editor with CSS and JavaScript support, in-app responsive design tool, selectable themes, etc. I enjoy it. I'm not at all into coding front-end design, which is always a project-stopper for me. Something like this makes the GUI part easy, even though it's "just bootstrap".

Hmm... generally, I would say that is irrational. Unless you're assuming something like a 1990's Java Swing app, or a GTK app, that achieves cross-platform support at the expense of looking like crap on all platforms.
However, based on the fact that this app has an "in-Chrome browser" demo mode available... I'm assuming that it's REALLY a web application, packaged up for desktop use (like the Atom text editor).
Personally, I think that the Atom route of "HTML/JavaScript on the desktop" is a poor choice in most cases (a Bootstrap designer tool might be the rare exception). Regardless, there are multiple cross-platform frameworks out there today that look and work just great. Being turned off by cross-plat support is really an outdated bias, I think.

#50http://pingendo.com/ : good free alternative.
Nice. Bootstrap 4 demo is available at: http://v4.pingendo.com/playground.html
I got welcomed with the "Your browser is not supported, please use either Chrome or Safari".
Sorry guys, but if your little app doesn't work in Firefox, I don't care about it, it's probably not worth time to even look at it.
