#73Honestly the comments are a good example on how difficult it is to sell to developers and why startup ideas that target developers are dangerous to bootstrap. Developers have high incomes, but are quite frankly, extremely cheap. And I actually mean cheap and not frugal. They will spend 40 hours/week for months to save $5/mo. There's basically no logic apart from that developers have a poor concept of time and money a…

Oh cool, I didn't realize this was an extension. Orion has it built in as a Develop menu item.

I don't think developers in general are cheap, it's that they are employed somewhere and therefore it doesn't benefit THEM to save time, it benefits their employer. It may even be detrimental to the developer as it put higher expectations on the developer to produce more if the suddenly perform better at a specific task..

#77This just .. doesn't seem that useful compared to the normal devtools. It is also noticeably laggy, based on the demo on your site, with pop-in/FOUC. Definitely not worth $30/m for me. That pricing just seems way unrealistic compared to the value proposition. Easy pass for me.

I understand your point but $30 more per month to have a web inspector that is slightly nicer in some way but also much more limited in many other ways is expensive. Monthly subscriptions adds up and not everyone has too much money.

#79This does look really cool and its really responsive and definitely a very handy tool.
For me personally I wouldn't use it enough to justify the price tag. Depending on your business plan it might make sense to offer some kind of day/week pass. This would definitely interest me as I would be more of a infrequent user.

It absolutely does benefit me to save time, because writing css by hand is one of the most soul-crushingly boring tasks imaginable. Sure my employer also benefits, but that's only if I use that saved time to write more code. Maybe I use the extra time to walk my dog.
