What? How on earth multiplatform support could be a bad thing?

If the developer were to have made a swift version for Mac, a C# version for Windows and a C++ version for Linux, that would be very bad. A startup simply cannot reliably keep all up to date, and the product would suffer. If they wrote it in Java and in that way claim multiple platforms, I daresay it would be even worse, on all platforms. If they used a tool that did the conversion for them, it would likely be a secu…

$50 is nothing for such a tool for a one time payment! Even at that price it is very difficult for the tool to make a profitable full time business model. I want to also add that the 50% discount is not a helpful message either. I always ask my team, how is that as developers we always want free software but yet want a salary hike every year as a software programmer!

Well, the $50 is low for someone who’s going to use it professionally, but if you just want to make one or two sites (and never use it again afterwards), it’s probably a bit too expensive.

I know this is a Bootstrap tool, which means it has baggage. But if something like this existed for email, I would buy it in a snap. I have yet to find a desktop tool that can make decent responsive html emails, and that is one of the main strengths that Bootstrap should offer. Skip the JQ efects. Perhaps you can make a email mode that is JS free, strips out the unused CSS, and inlines the remaining rules?

You should look into http://www.stampready.net - along with Campaign Monitor's email builder ( https://www.campaignmonitor.com/features/create-custom-email... ), it's one of the best drag-and-drop tools for creating really good, responsive emails. The problem with any of these tools is that they still spit out sometimes convoluted code, but that can't really be avoided since they need to cover their asses in literall…

IMO this is another example of unnecessary fragmentation of the dev tools ecosystem. Why do we need a whole IDE for Bootstrap? Can't we instead make a plugin for an existing IDE to accomplish the same thing?
