Wow! this is an extremely impressive product. Your on-boarding process was excellent. Seeing the preview site update on my iPad in real-time was very effective - well done.<p>In regards to the actual product:<p>at the moment it seems a little too code focused for the designer that does a little code, and a little too visual for a coder who does some design work. I did discover some neat keyboard navigation for the DOM editor and I assume this type of keyboard integration is available across the app. This could go a long way to satisfy the coder.<p>For me, personally, editing HTML using a visual DOM editor is harder than working with markup, although I can see that if I devoted enough time to remap my muscle memory it could be a faster way to work.<p>The interface is very busy. You may want to find a way of showing only the information relative to the current context.<p>The way you&#x27;ve handled responsive design is great, especially in combination with a device preview.<p>It would be nice to be able to click on the preview section and have the editor jump straight to the DOM node DOM panel.<p>Overall though, the polish of this app and documentation is excellent. Hope your launch goes well!<p>For my own curiosity: what are the very large PNG files used for? There are 4 images that come down the wire at 4mb each!

This looks pretty neat. I think that, even if not in the long term, for a launch like this, HN people will want to see the more visible &quot;free&quot; option to better evaluate your offering.<p>Having that more prominent, even if it&#x27;s just from detecting the HN referrer, will eliminate a lot of noise.<p>The &quot;Try It&quot; option is good and may make up a bit for it, but I still think it would be good to have a nice, initial free offering.

Very cool idea and excellent implementation, works amazingly well!<p>While playing around with it I was just thinking that what this is doing is shifting the complexity of web design away from HTML and CSS, into the dynamic IDE. If I were to put the complexity on a scale, starting with raw code at one end and a WYSIWYG editor at the other - I would think that this is still closer to the coding by hand than WYSIWYG.

What&#x27;s missing in non-chrome browsers to get it to run?

“Oops… You’re not running Google Chrome.”<p>You’re doing it wrong -.- (unless you’re doing the “negative publicity is still publicity” routine in which case <i>meh</i>)
