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.

Uhm... Usually I'm buying games on steam for 5-15 euros. There is a lot cheap special offers...

They are cheap for a reason, steam is popular so lot of people will buy the game at that price point. The creator of this software will see a one time bump because of HN but I doubt he will get a steady stream of income at least initially.

In the end everyone has to put food on the table.

I just made the purchase.

This tool will hopefully make my life easier. I'll still code everything carefully by hand but I have a hard time imagining how the UI will look like and I find myself spending quite some time coding and F5 repeatedly only to be disappointed by the result.

These thigs come with experience. I believe people that dedicate their time mostly to UI get real good and would not need a tool like this but for me I believe it'll do wonders.

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.

Mobile first :)

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…

Same thoughts, i am a coder. I would never touch such Software. I still write the most correct HTML for my eyes and i am faster than anything else could be.

Sorry to go off topic, but i've been interested in your product for a couple of weeks. I recently created a site for young people interested in horses. I built it with a theme called KLEO that included Visual Composer. VC is having insane load times, partially because of admin-ajax.php. Does BeaverBuilder also make use of admin-ajax.php? Visual Composer is clearly too heavy and unoptimised for us, so i'd be more than…

You've heard of us!? No kidding!? That's awesome to hear. :) We use a lot of ajax when the actual page builder is in use, but we do our best to ensure that page load times for published pages are low as possible. Outputting lean and efficient auto-generated markup (relative to what was out there) was one of our big goals from the start. We have a free version of the software in the WordPress repo: https://wordpress.o…

Hey Robby, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I saw it mentioned a couple of times on /r/webdev and /r/wordpress in threads where people were bashing VC while talking positively about your plugin ;-)

I'll try out the lite theme and hopefully find it fitting to our site. Once again, thanks for replying to my off-topic comment. I just had to take the chance since i've been considering your product lately!

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.

Only sissy fagboys use firefox

$50 is nothing for such a tool for a one time payment! Even at that price it is very difficult for the tool to make a profitable full time business model. I want to also add that the 50% discount is not a helpful message either. I always ask my team, how is that as developers we always want free software but yet want a salary hike every year as a software programmer!

>I always ask my team, how is that as developers we always want free software but yet want a salary hike every year as a software programmer! A lot of people are short-sighted and self-centered. It's completely and totally rational to buy this product if you're billing at $75/hr and this tool saves you 10+ hours that you couldn't justify billing. Some people just don't "get it" - that you must produce something of va…

I think a lot of people are not billing 75/hour or billing at all.

When you're at work, you typically just have to use the tools the rest of the team does. Then when you are at home, working on a side project... it's essentially a hobby and saving time in a hobby is just a 'nice to have'.
