Would it be unfair to describe this as a GUI for the LESS variables associated with Bootstrap? Nice and simple idea, but if the cost really is $50, that might be a little steep - any designer worth their pencil should be able to work with a big list of variables just as easily (if not more easily) than a point-and-click interface.
Obviously just conjecture at the moment, though...
- andreasklinger 13y agoA designer worth their pencil might need longer than worth 50$ to get to an initial mix of good look. If it's somehow wysiwyg it might also speed up things a bit.
- CognitiveLens 13y agoTrue, but you're going to need that designer to work on that initial mix whether it's with this software or something they're much more experienced with (probably Adobe CS) - unless the UI for this is radically better than the mockup tools that pro designers use, the marginal utility of outputting LESS variables probably won't add value, and might make things more complicated by introducing an additional tool into the pipeline.

- jackbach 13y agoI have different use cases in mind: - A designer that don't know/don't want to write css. She can keep her design process and use Strapfork to create the css components. - A designer that likes the workflow that Strapfork proposes (UI is part of the brand -> design components | design UI with mockups. Mix both in directly inHTML and have the final design in the browser, no need of photoshop). - A backender that just want to customise bootstrap easy and fast.
- Touche 13y agoThis is great for MVPs where you can't afford a designer.
