Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here's some 100% unmodified output from a page I threw together in about a minute just to post here: https://gist.github.com/3743829

Here's the same output in CSSDeck for a more convenient preview: http://cssdeck.com/labs/vsjc8abl/0 Aside from some empty class attributes and extra div wrappers, the markup is really close to what I'd write by hand. Great work with the export! EDIT: Oh, sorry - this isn't the same output as mbleigh posted. Mine is the tutorial page from Divshot when you first log in.

Those empty classes are a known bug, they'll disappear soon enough!

Got 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!

Wow that's some of the nicest generated code I've seen. This could be a very useful tool.

I'm right at the beginning of designing my templates for a Bootstrap/Django project, so this is a really great time to see this. I'd really like the ability to tweak the designs without needing to edit a text file and reload the browser. Question: do you guys support custom Bootstrap themes? (Oh, and I wouldn't turn down an invite. The email I signed up with is in my profile.)

You're in. Can't wait to hear your feedback and ideas! A: We plan to support custom Bootstrap themes in the near future. Stay tuned!

Any chance for some invites? I'd love to try.

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

I would also like to give it a shot. I teach HTML/CSS to newbies at a graduate school, and am always looking for tools to recommend. Email is in my user details.

wow, very impressive! I look forward to using it :) I have a couple of webapps that need frontends, so definitely giving this a whirl when it's released.

Why 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. If you use responsive CSS, wh…

Example: http://www.timeforzen.com

(Resize your window and you'll see how everything re-aligns for desktops, tablets, and smartphones)

I chose responsive css because I can code it once, and it'll work on all devices. No bloat, no separate versions to maintain. Why wouldn't you want that? Especially with more and more consumers buying mobile and tablet devices. You increase your potential audience with a few lines of css code. Why do it through server-side code and have seperate versions to maintain during each and every update? As long as you plan ahead, your design can be responsive with literally a few lines of css code.
