Earlier quoted context omitted.

Could you explain a little more why you feel that way?

First and foremost, dependencies. My apps cannot have third party services that it relies on. that would give too much problems with our own SLA's. If the SAS goes down, you are responsible. Second: my stuff needs to be able work offline (at least o some degree) :)

Lucky for you one of our key goals is that we will always export to clean, unencumbered HTML and CSS. Once you export from Divshot you can use the output in whatever tools you want without worrying about compatibility.

Secondly, we definitely want to support offline capabilities (as a web app still, but it's very possible) and the ability to safely store all of your work :)

I've been dreaming of something like this for a while. There's an OS project called "Stylo" (https://github.com/maccman/stylo) that has the basic framework for an interface builder, but it's not as far along as what I can gather from the Divshot demo. I'd be much happier building web apps in my free time, instead of an app to build web apps. Looking forward to checking it out.

We're huge fans of Alex MacCaw's open source projects. Divshot is written completely in CoffeeScript and Spine. There are features in Stylo that we'd like to add to Divshot such as color pickers and more design options for the inspector (gradients, border radius, etc).

Why is there such a strong focus on "responsive" CSS? It has never made much sense to me, because my desktop will never turn into a tablet, and my tablet will never turn into a smartphone. It seems as though creating a better server-side abstraction that lets me produce different markup that shares much, but not all, of the CSS would be more effective from a development time perspective. If you use responsive CSS, wh…

Some examples: * Resizing your browser window. * Changing font-size for accessibility (Ctrl+, Ctrl-) * Moving your browser between multiple screens If responsive was server-side, each of these scenarios would cause a page reload in order to accomodate the adjusted layout. Responsive design doesn't just mean CSS media queries. It more commonly means using floating div/ul instead of tables for layout.

Perhaps it would appear then that I am the only one that never ever ever resizes my browser. OP's question has always puzzled me too.
