We'll be reviewing comments here throughout the day and if we can easily find your email you might receive an early invite!
Me too please. Thanks!

#32Oh I like this. It's great to see so many things taking off thanks to Bootstrap. Yay for a less ugly web!

#33Got any sample output? I'd love to compare notes on the HTML your tool creates. I'm interested in this type of app, as I've built a design prototyping tool called Edit Room, that also creates production-ready HTML and CSS from visual design tools. http://www.edit-room.com/ Good luck!
Here's some 100% unmodified output from a page I threw together in about a minute just to post here:

#34Why is there such a strong focus on "responsive" CSS? It has never made much sense to me, because my desktop will never turn into a tablet, and my tablet will never turn into a smartphone. It seems as though creating a better server-side abstraction that lets me produce different markup that shares much, but not all, of the CSS would be more effective from a development time perspective.

layout should be responsive also to amount of content, especialy on websites focused on user generated content

How do you make sure you support all the possible devices that will request a page from your server? If you divide between desktop and mobile, what do you serve a tablet? If you make a tablet layout, what do you do if it changes orientation? Once you added the tablet, what do you serve a web-enabled TV? A handheld console? A high-resolution display?
Responsive is about responding to container characteristics, instead of relying on the assumption that a certain known device has certain characteristics. Even with responsive, the rabbit hole goes waaay down, but at least you're avoiding the ghetto effect of "supporting" a set list of circumstances.

Some examples:
* Resizing your browser window.
* Changing font-size for accessibility (Ctrl+, Ctrl-)
* Moving your browser between multiple screens
If responsive was server-side, each of these scenarios would cause a page reload in order to accomodate the adjusted layout.
Responsive design doesn't just mean CSS media queries. It more commonly means using floating div/ul instead of tables for layout.

#39Congrats on the upcoming launch. I've been wanting to check out Divshot for awhile but I haven't gotten an invite :)
I am the founder of Jetstrap (http://jetstrap.com/) and we've built an interface builder for Bootstrap as well, so we are definitely in the same space.
