#12Webflow, an existing product, is much more powerful and pretty affordable. Macaw, if it's as awesome as it looks in the demo, may be better than Webflow.
This, this is thoroughly underwhelming. Sorry.
If open source is your biggest differentiator, I think you should emphasize this. Being able to use this as a part of other environments would make it much more compelling. Maybe change up the kickstarter page?

#13A shameless plug for my own similar open source project with an already functional version http://www.brickseditor.com/. It uses Bootstrap for the layout but there are plans to support other frameworks. It's built on AngularJS. I'm currently working on it full time. Maybe there could be some way we could collaborate if this Kickstarter isn't successful?

Very nice! Yours is much more than just a front-end editor, yours create complete apps.
EDIT: And yours is not MIT licensed and has separate commercial licenses.

#16The reward structure is odd. For example, the 'super backer' $1000 level is limited to 200, yet the rewards given (e.g. The memory stick) are unlimited in the previous levels. Why artificially limit yourself to 200?

Yes, but they are not open source.
Have you seen divshot, jetstrap or easel?
You probably have, are they open source? NO!
Re: Frontend: The web visual editor
#18there are many of this apps already, and while there are a couple that are nice my question is: has anyone actually ever used any of this for something serious?
Yes but this one is slightly different being open source - it means (rather than everyone re-inventing the wheel) it can be integrated into Drupal, Wordpress, any other CMS... which I for one would be in favour of, as it would level the playing field again.
+1 for this excellent argument!

Why would you do a 10 minutes introduction video ! I can't watch anything longer than 2 minutes.

Thanks. I'm trying to keep it simple, fast and extensible.
