#3Cool, nice work. I personally think the pricing is quite reasonable as well. I have a project I might be able to use this with in the near future. Thanks for showing!

#4Not free, not free, wooh. I think you spend a reasonable amount of work there and therefore it is just normal that its not free. Nothing great is free these days, and, to be honest, if something awesome like that is free I would be more than suspicious.
Well, that said, it would've been nice if you provided a free developer version. Not every project works the same. Sometimes someone want to test if your product really fits, before spending...
And after scanning through your website 3 times, I am still not sure what is the difference between "unlimited websites" and "resale in products".
Just my thoughts...

Considering how similar licenses work, I'd guess that "resale" means bundling it in a project you hand off to a client whereas "unlimited websites" means using it in a project you keep the ownership of.
Not sure how this works for SaaS projects, though.

#6We built the same features in open source for the Odoo website builder. You can try it here:
https://www.odoo.com/page/website-builder
We also put features like resizeable bootstrap column with drag & drop (col-md-X), link manager, media manager, special fields edition (e.g. prices with currencies)... Playing with building blocks look more sleek in Odoo version.
Github: https://github.com/odoo/odoo
Disclaimer: I am the founder of Odoo. We should probably extract this bit of code from Odoo to release a standalone library.

#7Slightly depressing that the comments are all (as I write this) about the pricing...
I'm always interested in these sorts of things, having come close myself on several occasions to building something similar (CKEditor is usually what we end up using, though it's a bit warty in places and much bulkier than this).
I quite like this one, though my first instinct was "How do I delete the image in this block?" rather than "Ah, I need a different type of block that doesn't have an image". I'm not 100% sure if that isn't fundamentally a bit of a wrong choice - having lots of built-in block types is good, but being able to edit them in-place would be even better.

What do you think about this one?
http://odoo.com/start/cms
It's not a standaline jquery lib but can easily be extracted from the code of Odoo as it's open source.
We worked a ot on the usability to make it smooth to handle images, backgrounds, specific properties of building blocks (e.g. banners, parallax, ...)

#9I am curretly working on similar project. I really like your concept. But I see some flaws.
- No list auto-creation
- Sometimes ugly html like
- Does not produce nice htm5 like hgroups, sections and em/strong
- I cannot make a paragraph in chrome, just

Note: "open source" in this case means AGPL.
