This is interesting. I'm blind, and while I can think of ideas for products/side projects, designing a nice-looking website is such a huge momentum-killer. I mean, I know that I could just focus on features, keep the site design simple, and build a good design later. Then I visit , and half the comments are about how some UI element or other breaks on some combination of browser or other, and the last thing I want is…

Thank you for this enlightening comment, and apologies that our website isn't more accessible. We'll be looking in to this through out the day and will try to add some better html to accommodate for anyone who may be in a similar boat to you. I'm really sorry we didn't think about this stuff up front, and will do my best to from here on out.

Looks awesome. Have reviewed a ton of website builders and this is one of the easier ones. Only problem is when I hit the download button the .txt file is blank.

That is indeed a big problem, we're deploying some changes atm that should hopefully fix this. Sorry about that.

This is fantastic. One argument people will make (just like they did with Bootstrap) is that if every product used something like this, all the webpages would look the same.

To be honest, if all product webpages looked like this, I'd be quite alright with it, because this look great.

Well done!

I was pleasantly surprised this worked as well as it did, without the need for me signing up or providing an email.

We hate having to sign up for things ,we firmly believe you should only ever be on boarded after you get to try out the product and love it :)!

Nice! Really easy to use and the templates look great. One question though: > Launchaco website builder is licensed under CC0 Does that mean both the website builder itself and the website you build with it are CC0? And is the source to the builder available anywhere?

Apologies, copy isn't clear there - will deploy a change. The website you download is licensed under cc0, however if there's interest we wouldn't mind open sourcing our builder. It's written in Elm, & go.

Interesting choices, I would definitely be interested in checking out the code behind it.
