You could name it "Jetstart" :)
This is a wonderful suggestion - although, I know they are trying to play on the 'Bootstrap' part of the name.

#132Re: pricing...given the feedback here, maybe one thing you may want to do is to sell credits.
So maybe each screen cost X credits - but you sell the credits in packages. $10 for 10, $20 for 40, $50 for 150, etc. The idea being that you get more credits, the more you pay.
The beauty about it is that you front-load a lot of your revenue, which allows you to plan easier. It also is easier from the user's perspective, because I know I can always come back and use those credits.
You can even set some reasonable expiration time period - say 24 months - on the credits.
Anyway, that's just my $0.02.
Awesome product, by the way!
Edit 1: Another interesting side effect of implementing a credit system, is that you are setting the ground work for a marketplace. People can auction/sell some of their designs, and people can use their excess credits to buy those.
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#133Really like this, but noticed a few bugs with the drag and drop interface. Sometimes items wouldn't select and/or drop where I wanted them.
Other times, I'd take a look at the code and there were quite a few irrelevant divs.
Is there a way to make the html code editable to fine tweak the pages while still editing the page via drag and drop to get the big picture mockup?
Btw great work so far. I'm really loving it and planning on using it for several new projects.
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#134Mwahahaha my plan to become a professional web designer without learning how to write any code is working!
I'm in a similar situation.
What might you use to implement functionality and data then? I'm asking because I'm coming from database development in FileMaker with limited traditional coding knowledge. While it's very easy and fast to build solutions in FileMaker I've been looking for a web-based alternative for ages. Of course I tried frameworks like Rails and Django, worked tutorials, understand the concepts, can follow along but it's a steep learning curve and I'm nowhere near the results I'm able to achieve in FileMaker.
I guess there's just no shortcut or easy way.
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#135Pretty cool - looks like it has come a long way since the Alpha. What I'd like to see added would be an easy way to change the colour/font etc of elements to make them less bootstrappy.
It looks like there's a built-in css editor (look in the lower right) so you can do something like this pretty easily: .btn {color: red;}
Easy for you, maybe ;-)

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
If I was a CSS-Jedi I wouldn't need jetstrap or bootstrap :)
Fair enough :) It would be awesome to have more theming control. We will keep it in mind.
Yes, from my own perspective as an ex-developer who dabbles in websites as a sideline, I'd say the difficulty split is 30% HTML, 70% CSS.
i.e. the layout part is relatively simple, but change the colours, fonts etc, I find a lot harder.
Don't get me wrong, though, it's an awesome tool. If you get the colour/theming stuff added it'll almost be as simple as building a form/window in VB.
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#137My suggestion as a UI/UX guy: Refine the call-to-action buttons by assigning them a different color. Black is not really an attention seeker. I would suggest something like a bright Green or pale Blue for the buttons (for the Sign up buttons on the top and the bottom). Hopefully this will improve your conversion rate. Just these, otherwise excellent. Keep it up guys!
I recall that red was the color most likely to get attention, and thus recommended for calls to action. Any reason not to use red ?
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#138I love the idea. This is a competitor that I've tried that has worked quite well so far - http://divshot.com/
Their video works, while the OP doesn't. Thanks for the link!
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#139I love this tool. As a programmer I cringe at most WYSIWYG because they heavily dilute the code needed to make something happen + hardly ever get it done in the first place. This actually looks very promising. One note though. Your target audience is going to include non-programmers and those people might not even know the proper names for some of these bootstrap elements. So I suggest some kind of toggle between the…
Great suggestion.
Re: Jetstrap for Bootstrap
#140Awesome tool. I hope you'll just add WYSIWYG CSS editor and easy&fast integration with Firebase. That would be a toolset of my dreams :)
