Congrats guys. I haven't had a chance to check out the full thing yet (reading HN on my iPad) but from a quick glance it looks incredibly thorough and well-done. I think there will always be a contingent of folks who prefer to hand-code this stuff, but there is a larger contingent of folks for whom a great set of visual design tools will be incredibly valuable. So good on ya and good luck.

Thank you! Hopefully it doesn't look horrendous on iPad :)

Absolutely agree with you about hand-coding. I'm one of those folks! It's hard (impossible?) to compete with the flexibility and power of pure code, but we can try right?

This is awesome, bookmarked. This will help me because I've always struggled with CSS since I never sat down and actually learned it.

Just one thing - much of the text doesn't seem to render so smoothly. Is that intentional or is it just me...? Chrome on Windows fwiw.

Co-founder here. My brother and I quit our jobs 7 months ago, and have been working on this day and night off of our savings since then. The CSS Playground is a preview of our CSS styling tools, and we'll be adding some of our other components (layout, adding new elements, code export) soon. Currently, it only works in Chrome, but we're working hard to add Firefox support.

This is very impressive! I'd love to use this on new projects. I have some new projects coming up just around the corner. Do you have any ideas when you plan to release?

Very well done. Without looking at the docs (sorry) can you import existing css files and full-on frameworks? That's the #1 thing I'd be looking to use. jsFiddle is great but the window is so tiny... Webflow CSS looks even better.

It seemed to work fine in Safari for me. Love the tool, great work

There are still a few quirks in Safari, but since it's Webkit it does mostly work. Thank you!

Doesnt flow right on my htc desire. Both horizontal and vertical orientation. Seems like the width is always larger than the screen.

Sorry about that - we're currently focusing on desktops and laptops for the app itself, and haven't added a fallback for other devices yet. If you'd like to see more of an overview that should look great on your device, check out www.webflow.com
