#2Oh, as in FroontPage. Totally need this.
Edit: Sorry for flippancy. I sense the challenge of the over-complete demo. Eventually, the design requires interfacing with developers who are then skewered for not getting it done as fast as the drag and drop mock-up.
It's probably not horribly worse than taking on an HTML5 template from your favorite template garden along with a laundry list of breaking customizations... I find it pretty quick to take the static images and build out without the baggage of more opinionated style work already "complete"

#3I really appreciate the idea but most designers coming out of school (or self-taught) know how to manage building mockups in HTML and CSS. I might see how this could be slightly quicker but it still doesn't quite translate like the real thing.

#4Is graphic designer now synonymous with ignorant? If not I think they would be fine dragging around some bootstrap text and refreshing a browser.

#5THIS is why Techcrunch is annoying. How many "in-browser" and "responsive" mock-up tools have already been launched? Jetstrap comes to mind immediately, and I recall seeing several others.
I appreciate them covering tech companies for less technical audiences, but it just seems like they follow a few certain VCs around, rather than looking at the technology that is worth GETTING VC funding.

I don't think this is a mock-up tool. If I'm not mistaken, this is a design tool that produces production-ready HTML.

Seriously. Every time I see a tool pop up for "designers" the definition tends to be:
-code illiterate -drag n' drop syndrome -shortcut seeking -so visually oriented that they might as well be blind
It honestly makes designers look bad. Modern designers know how to code as well (or should). Why? So that they design with the development in mind and don't deliver shit that's too outlandish to implement, or more importantly, deliver shit that's ignorant of what's possible.

During the process of developing the tool, it has evolved from a prototyping tool into a design tool. Unfortunate delay in updating the definition on CrunchBase.
