If he makes money with this, then it's a prime example of how you can turn an idea that exists and make it better (Google Docs can do something like this as well).
- amelius 7y agoI don't think "better" is the right word. Perhaps "better for a particular purpose". Google Docs can do much more, e.g. allow multiple people to edit a document simultaneously.
- phemartin 7y agoMagicdocs is essentially different from google docs. While g-docs is more focused on collaboration and creating PDFs, magicdocs is a simple no-code tool that enables anyone to create beautiful responsive websites. It's much more focused on sharing client-facing documents. We also plan to foster doc interactivity with like notifications, payments, and buttons (things that pdfs can't do).
- deepspace 7y agoOn a slight tangent, does anyone know what the deal is with the phrase "beautiful responsive websites"? The number of google hits for the phrase is enormous, and it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb every time I look at a new web template, framework or generator. Every single one uses exactly the same phrase. I have never looked at a website and thought to myself: "That is beautiful responsive website". Most people would describe sites as "good looking" and "easy to use" instead. Did some marketing person back in the mists of time dream up the term and everyone has been blindly copying the same old tired phrase since then?
- sergiomattei 7y agoResponsive is a technical term that means it adapts to multiple screen sizes. In a nutshell, it just means the website works on mobile and works well. It's technical jargon, sure. But it means something important to web designers/creators. I'd run away from a web framework in 2020 that wasn't responsive.
