This looks great. I noticed the "try it for free." Are there plans to turn this into a paid product at some point? How limited is the trial?

Yes, we will eventually charge for it once we work out some of the kinks in the beta. Our first thought was $10/mo for 100 screens (though I agree with the feedback below, so this will probably go up). Any feedback on that?

Does everything have to be subscription based now? I know it is good for revenue, but it sure is a poor experience for the user. I would rather just pay $10 for 100 screens, if that is what you are charging, rather than tack on the /mo charge. When I run out, I buy more. Offer volume discounts for extreme purchasing over time, perhaps, but don't make me subscribe for light use. That's my initial feedback.

You beautiful bastards! Thanks for this. Now I can spend more time on the back-end stuff.

Ridiculously underpriced when you compare it against any alternative other than "I am a hobbyist with infinite time, of course web design should be free."

An instructive question which was asked to me recently: "Who would be excluded from using this project if it cost [I'll fill in price points: $39 / $99 / $199 etc], is it in their best interests to use this, and do you seek their business?"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trying to start a new project gives me this error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (NOT FOUND) http://jetstrap.com/api/v1/project/last After choosing the 'fluid' layout and hitting 'Create'.

The 404 is okay (we use that to check if you had an existing project loaded in your session), are you seeing an issue?

It wouldn't let me start a new project, I assumed the 404 was related. Hitting the 'create' button did nothing.

I thought twice about putting $10 on here since I didn't want to promise anything, but I wanted feedback. Thank you for commenting Patrick (I half thought you would :)). I completely agree with you.

Looks very pretty, but can't decide if this is useful or not. I love bootstap, but I am not convinced this is much quicker than a text editor (even if it is much prettier) Quick bug report: MacOS/Chrome (latest) - create navbar - click or double click on the bar, and you get errors. Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'apply' jquery.js:3332 jQuery.event.dispatch jquery.js:3332 jQuery.event.add.elemData.handle.…

Sure. One of my personal bootstrap pain points I wanted to solve was I often failed to properly use certain complicated bootstrap components. The better you get the less this becomes a big issue. One way to use Jetstrap is to just generate snippets of Bootstrap if you already have a large code base and just want to copy and paste complicated components.

I agree taking the time to learn all the options in bootstrap is time consuming and this alleviates much of that via a nice UI, but would I pay for that, probably not.

Set up a stripe account today. Ask people to donate an amount that they would pay assuming a monthly rate. Analyze their usage data and payment data to assist you in coming up with payment plans.
