Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

We will probably try restricting/modifying the free plan over time. For better or for worse we are easing into the payment stuff.

Nice. Between Jetstrap, Divshot, and Easel, there's no shortage of WYSIWYG Bootstrap apps. The question is which one will offer the best options for creating code for an actual dynamic website. I.e. it would be great to use something to do all the design of Rails site, but it seems like it would involve a lot of copying and pasting.

Great work! One feature request: Allow the user to deploy straight to a GitHub repository or perhaps FTP. I realize we can just export the HTML/CSS/JS and upload ourselves, but this would be much faster and simpler. Would be fine if this feature was limited to paying customers.

All great tools. I think the challenge is fitting into a developer's work flow at that level of intimacy to their app. To that end, we will probably end up targeting a different type of user, but those details are still evolving.

Super stoked to inherit a bunch of half-finished front end projects started in this app, where step one is to remove all of the hard-coded list seperators, " " tags, and "span6" classes

Do you have more info on what is wrong with the markup? From the comment all I can make out is those are normal bootstrap constructs (span6 being a grid span). I'd like to fix the issues you are having (though this new version has even cleaner exported markup).

What's wrong with the markup is that it conforms to the Bootstrap documentation, and the way the Bootstrap docs recommend writing HTML is absolute garbage.

is the spacer.gif of my generation.

And that is no fault of your own - I applaud your effort to make a useful WYSIWYG editor for markup. Its the fault of the creators of Bootstrap for making it really easy for lots of people to write terrible HTML.
