How does this compare to Macaw: http://macaw.co/
We love Macaw, and the early preview looks amazing! Can't wait to play with the final version. That said, it looks like it is much more similar to Adobe Edge Reflow, but with a more intuitive interface. With Webflow, we're looking to build a more comprehensive hosted platform that allows designers to create production websites and actually deploy them live. Down the line, this means that content management, functiona…

Your product is really awesome, but it sounds like you are going down a bad path. Playing around with it, I love how it is a good replacement for photoshop, built with the web in mind (classes are crucial so that I don't have to go and change every element every time I make a small change).

#24It always seemed that this should be the logical way to go, but for some reason I've never really seen these things stick around (at least in my personal experience). Is it a matter of chasing trends/technology?

#26I'm a designer and developer - love the idea of both WebFlow and Macaw are up to. I can see how this can be a huge time saver for me on the front-end - even if just another level of high-fidelity mockups (vs. production). I find it really hard to justify dropping the money and then my time if I'm working through a web-based cloud service though (vs. a desktop app - even like the ones that call home like Creative Clou…

This is a massive, massive concern for us. We're an agency. We can't trust software like this for something as fundamental as our creative mockups.
