It irks me that this is called Frontend. It's not, it's design. Call it Design. Or Frontpage 2013. Whatever. Frontend is a development skill, which requires intricate knowledge of markup and javascript languages/frameworks.
Oh come on. "Frontend" isn't a skill. It's a piece of software that makes interfacing with another piece of software easier.
There have been frontends long before there was HTML.
A 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?
The Database section needs a bit of work. When I click on Database I'm stuck. I HAVE to create a table which I then cannot rename. When I delete the table I'm in the same situation, lock down. Other than that, very nice.
1.How is it different from macaw or Adobe Muse ?
2.I did not understand why are you using a custom web framework xtyle , instead why not go for Bootstrap ?.
Its already used by millions and you also save a lot of time.
3.Components feature sounds exciting , but how much similar is it to angular directives.
4.What is target market ? front-end developers or non-tech people?

That's a fair point. I may have made the assumption that this was named after the skill.
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.
The goal is to allow make the whole development process, from prototyping to deployment, easier. It's AGPL. The commercial licenses are for people or companies who may want to modify it without releasing their modifications back to the community. If they don't want to contribute their code, they will at least contribute financially.
It really does, just don't over-complicate things and add support for plugins and it will be perfect!
Do the commercial license cost 299$ per year?
Is it limited per install, or company-wide?
It is a CMS in itself. How is 75k high for two people? Are they supposed to commit to living below the poverty line?
In which country living with $75k is living below the poverty line exactly?
As I understand it, that's for 2 devs. Subtract the Kickstarter fees, sending out the Kickstarter rewards, and various taxes, that leaves them with maybe $20k per person. Of course, that number is meaningless by itself, not knowing how long it will take them to complete the project. If they devote more than a year to the project, depending on where they live that's not a lot of income.
What about https://rukzuk.com/en/ ? Not open source but the only tool I found which has integrated CMS. Website says it's even extendable with custom code.
The open source part of it is cool, but i still have a couple of issues with it: + why do you need 75K as a minimum ? Sounds a bit high, even for 2 people + They say its built with node, but what about the frontend of frontend ? Only jquery ? + does it support bootstrap or other layouting frameworks? + when will they let people contribute to it ? Id really like something like this being open source, but in that case…

It's not just for two people.according to "Why crowdfunding?"
We are asking your help because we would want to give 100% focus to xchema frontend, and it is not possible by doing our daily jobs. With your support we will be able to afford renting a working space, work full-time, hire talents, and bring frontend to your hands.
