Divshot 1.0: Visual Front-End Development for Bootstrap and Beyond
- piratebroadcast 13y agoI could use this for Rails projects, yes?
- mbleigh 13y agoDivshot works great as a prototyping tool for Rails projects (and if you're using something like Angular for templating, you can do much much more with it). We built http://revision.io/ http://revision.io/ for the Rails Rumble last year (2nd place, woo!) and used Divshot to prototype all of the interfaces. It's a huge time-saver, but I'm a bit biased :)
- codegeek 13y agoI dig the concept. I would surely give it a try since I am playing around with foundation framework. One thing though, the video on the landing page is really too fast to actually see anything. Is it just me ?
- joshmn 13y agoPlayback speed seems to be defaulted to something other than 1x; check out the bottom-right of the video for the > (versus the >>)
- corywatilo 13y agoThe interface looks so nice and clean and crisp. Nice work, guys!
- benmccann 13y ago80,000 beta testers?! Wow, great work guys!
- drone 13y agoIf you don't mind my asking, what are the competitive advantages of Divshot over, say, JetStrap?
- scep12 13y agoThe plans' pricing looks competitive. Free plan looks a bit nicer.
- GotNothing 13y agoTotally missed the little line of text under the other paying plans the first time I looked at their pricing page. No need to be sneaky about it. Adding the "FREE Plan" along side the other paying plans, instead of hiding it underneath, would help ease the feeling that they're solely out for my dollars.
- corywatilo 13y agoThat's probably because, as a funded company, they are solely out for your dollars. =]
- mbleigh 13y agoC'mon Cory, you know us better than that :) We're still experimenting with the pricing signup flow, if it makes a large percentage of people feel there's no free plan then we'll change it (it's easy enough to do in Divshot anyway)
- mbleigh 13y agoI would say some of the biggest differences are our multi-framework architecture and our focus on being a viable full-fledged development platform. Divshot supports Bootstrap, Foundation, and Ratchet (at present) and our new project structure works just like a folder on your hard drive. Because Divshot allows you to edit the entire HTML document you can actually build entire applications in it using a third party service like Firebase or Parse. There are lots of smaller differences, but our focus on being a full development platform as opposed to a mockup/prototyping tool is probably one of the biggest.
- mkoble11 13y agoLove this product and the story! Another company created out of Startup Weekend, they went on to Launchpad LA and most recently raised $1.1m in March: http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/18/web-app-interface-builder-divshot-raises-1-1-million-seed-round/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/18/web-app-interface-builder-d...
- brettcvz 13y agoAbsolutely fantastic product, well done guys
- iancarroll 13y agoI've been with Divshot for at least three months now, and it's by far the best development tool I've used. Good luck with your 1.0!
- rpedela 13y agoHere are the steps I did. 1. Signed up for an account. 2. Created a project called "test" using default settings. 3. Created a blank file called "index.html". 4. Your icon keeps flashing in the main area, and Firefox seems to be waiting for something to finish. As far as I can tell, this never ends. The result being that I cannot actually create the contents of index.html. My Divshot username is same as my HN username.
