Sweet spot between heavy IDE and notepad. I like it! I plan on using this on my next site. One question, though: is there a way to know which version of bootstrap and such the editor is using?

Right now, no (it's running a very recent version). We plan to keep it updated with stable releases though. Thanks!

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.

Exacly! Please let us by 'x number screens for $'. Subscription is hardly required for something like this. (Ps please add youtube/vimeo video instead of flash video, I'm on iOS and would love to see it).

Mwahahaha my plan to become a professional web designer without learning how to write any code is working!

(I can actually write code, I'd much rather use this whenever practical though)

I am not a designer by trade, but I am routinely called by the friends/family niche to build stuff for them -- I love how amazed they are when I spend 2 hours putting together a WordPress site for them; they seem so blown away by my non-existent abilities

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.

That's a crazy idea...it just might work! I'll look into adding something like this quickly.

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?

Sounds underpriced to me (and adding screen limits to price points complicates things). I'd rather something like $50 per month with no limits. Most people are making money from the websites they build so something that increases efficiency is worth more than $10/mo.

I can only sign up using twitter, google or github ? I have these accounts but prefer not to use them. Any plans to offer generic login ?

yea, we will be soon. I think the last thing I had up here had the opposite reaction (wanting oauth rather than yet another login) :)

I would use OAuth when I like your service and trust you (please understand that by you I don't mean you, I mean any website that asks me to sign up and isn't particularly well known). Right now I just want to use your site very quickly and see if it's something I'm interested in or not.

I like the idea of charging x amount for x screens. It makes more sense for me as it isn't a tool I would use on an ongoing basis, it would depend on my workload and what I'm working on.
