bought it a short while ago please tell me there's a code you are using for that wonderful checkout. email-->entering postal code --> entering card --> done. any reason why you are capturing postal code first? I will post another comment with a review later is this built using electron? where can you find a boiler template project complete with installation wizard? edit: just realized you can't even import HTML files…

The checkout form is Paddle: https://www.paddle.com/features/checkout/

Stripe also has the same thing: https://stripe.com/checkout

If you put something, anything on the public web, you have no excuse for it not working in all modern, standards compliant browsers. I mean... would you be happy to rate yourself a IE6-level dev? Because that's where a performance like this puts you. I would consider it pretty embarrassing.

Chill out. Sometimes you will have to be flexible with your browser on the internet. Your comment is more embarassing than their free online demo of an offline product.

$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".

Bootstrap is so simple you don't need WYSIWYG.

Please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

i think this can be achieved by a bootstrap snippet set; a decent text editor with live reload/files watch setup. a dedicated app is not needed.

It's $25. How much time would it take someone starting from scratch to gather those snippets, choose a text editor, get it installed and configured, and set it up to use the snippets, watch files, etc.? If their time is worth anything at all I can understand the attraction of paying $25 to skip straight to the part where they're doing the actual work people pay them to do.

Is there a big market for WYSIWYG apps for developers? I think this is a great application but might it be better targeted toward non-technical people? Remember iWeb? This reminds me of a more developer-centric, flexible version of that. But no developer would actually build with it. It was for the people who now use Wix, Weebly, and Squarespace for their websites. Developers should be able to put together a Bootstra…

There is a whole spectrum of people who work "on the web" in some form or another: hard-core developers, front-end coders, designers, small business owners, content creators, etc... So any tool from Squarespace to BootstrapStudio to Emacs is potentially useful to a subset of the market.

But this is specifically marketed toward developers and designers. So my question is are there really enough of those developers and designers interested in a WYSIWYG took or would it be better to drop the Bootstrap focus and focus on the small business owners and content creators?

I know this is a Bootstrap tool, which means it has baggage. But if something like this existed for email, I would buy it in a snap. I have yet to find a desktop tool that can make decent responsive html emails, and that is one of the main strengths that Bootstrap should offer. Skip the JQ efects. Perhaps you can make a email mode that is JS free, strips out the unused CSS, and inlines the remaining rules?

You should look into http://www.stampready.net - along with Campaign Monitor's email builder ( https://www.campaignmonitor.com/features/create-custom-email... ), it's one of the best drag-and-drop tools for creating really good, responsive emails. The problem with any of these tools is that they still spit out sometimes convoluted code, but that can't really be avoided since they need to cover their asses in literall…

Thanks. Do these support responsive emails on the gmail android client? Unfortunately the gmail client does not support media queries, which makes building a responsive email for it very difficult.

This looks really cool. It seems like you have a lot of granular control over the elements and layout. That being said, most of the websites I build these days don't need this level of customization. I've found that Blocs[1] is more my tempo. I just really want to organize structure at a high level, add content, polish, and export. [1] - https://www.blocsapp.com

Nice, but Mac only. :/

I can't believe the negativity in the comments.

This looks great and I'll probably be looking to purchase this. I assume that this would help me out when i'm fiddling around trying to make stuff look good in react.

Yes, there are plenty of developers who pay good money for Dreamweaver or similar, and a great many more who would like to but don't think the tools are good enough.

Likewise many developers pay for point and click IDEs even though vim is free.

I would. I'd love to be able to load a specific theme/framework/css and have html/css written up for me. I don't mind the under-the-hood programming, and I even like designing, but writing up HTML/refreshing/css-ing/refreshing to match my design goals is really frustrating for me. The worst of coding, while simultaneously taking the joy out of the creative nature of design.
