I love the design and the concept of the site as well as others in this space like jetstrap, easel, and divshot. To be honest, I've tried a few of these offerings and as a web developer this is not what I want, I'm looking for two things: 1. An editor like the one Bret Victor talked about in his "Inventing on Principle" talk[1]. I want to edit HTML and CSS and see updates reflected in real time[2]. 2. A way to hook t…
(Co-founder here.) 138 days ago, we posted a Show HN [1], and the feedback was so massively encouraging that we doubled down on building the best possible responsive design platform imaginable. Thank you HN for playing such a big part in the first chapter of our young company. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5407499
> There aren’t many competitors for a service like this Very false. This space has started to see a lot of action (Over 10 high quality products come to mind, one of them another YC company) and will only continue to. It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out (disclaimer: my company has products somewhat in this space). Congrats to Webflow though, it's a great product.
I would like to add them to the StartHQ SaaS directory, if they're not there already: https://starthq.com/apps/?category=creative
Let's use terms that mean something: http://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2013/08/responsive-design-doe...
What I mean with this is that normally (as we all know) we design from a pretty strict color palette. Text, backgrounds, spotcolor, linkcolor, even gradient begin end endpoints. You get the point. In a tool like Webflow, all the links between the color-palette and the code that uses a particular color from that palette are known. In other words: the position of a color in the palette determines the way in which this color is applied in the design, this stays the same between different palettes.
IMO it would be great if you could input different color-palettes (by your own design, cycling through kuler variations, etc.) and have the design automatically reflect that.
Just a suggestion :)
