When I first saw this a while back it wasn't really any good but now it feels pretty slick. Keep up the good work!

That gave me a chuckle :) You know what they say: if you aren't embarrassed by your first release you waited too long.

Good idea and looking great!

I just signed up and here are a few observations:

- the editor is stuck every few minutes on latest Chrome

- helper buttons (clone/delete) disappear after a few moves

- content elements are disappearing when typing (heading titles on marketing layout) - not sure if that triggered some shortcut

- the "undo" button is missing there badly

Ah, sorry about that. I will take a look and see where the issue is. Thanks!

The code editor is really slick. Did you build it from scratch or is it a library?

We used Ace for the editing, and then basically just listen for changes and update the document. There is more we could do there to really integrate it, but it's a nice start.

Ace?

Interesting that in the last 6mnths to 1 year for everything I see on HN pushing a yearly subscription model. While it's certainly proven to make more $, I wonder what the repercussions really are.

I think our pricing model will evolve over time. Right now it's a bit simpler to start this way, but we have a lot of ideas on how to make the model fit the use case better. We've also had some success with the subscription model for some other projects we've worked on, so there is some precedent there.

Have you tested dropping or severely limiting the free plan?
